ONTOLOGY OF SEX: A CRITICAL INQUIRY INTO THE DECONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF CATEGORIES

"Poststructuralism, particularly through the writings of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, has achieved remarkable success in challenging our belief in natural sex categories and instincts. In The Ontology of Sex, Carrie Hull endorses the progressive ideals of poststructuralism while demonstrating the superiority of a realist account of sex and sexuality. Embracing biological and cultural variability, Hull nonetheless shows that the sexed body is naturally structured and deeply meaningful."—Jacket.
