Contents:

Acknowledgments -- Parabasis (before the act) -- Queens and queers : the theater of gender in "America" -- Paradoxes of Visibility in/and contemporary identity politics -- The ends of an idiom, or sexual difference in translation -- Roxana's legacy : feminism and capitalism in the West -- Notes -- Works cited -- Index.

Summary: More than any other area of late-twentieth-century thinking, gender theory and its avatars have been to a large extent a Franco-American invention. In this book, a leading Franco-American scholar traces differences and intersections in the development of gender and queer theories on both sides of the Atlantic. Looking at these theories through lenses that are both "American" and "French," thus simultaneously retrospective and anticipatory, she tries to account for their alleged exhaustion and currency on the two sides of the Atlantic.
