Texts; 32 Identification Papers: Readings on Psychoanalysis, Sexuality, and Culture, (Paperback)

The notion of identification, especially in the discourse of feminist theory, has come dramatically into focus with the recent interest in such topics as queer performativity, cross-dressing, and racial passing. Identification Papers tracks the evolution of identification's emergence in psychoanalytic theory. Fuss seeks to understand the origin of this notion of identification, and its emergence as one of the most difficult problems in contemporary theory and politics.
