Description:

These essays address what is perhaps the central issue in lesbian and gay studies, the social constructionist controversy. Social constructionism is the view that the categories of sexual orientation are cultural constructs rather than universal categories of nature.

Synopsis:

Perhaps the foremost issue in the emerging area of inquiry known as lesbian and gay studies is the social constructionist controversy. Social constructionism is the view that the categories of sexual orientation are cultural constructs rather than naturally universal categories. Forms of Desire brings together important essays by social constructionists and their critics, representing several disciplines and approaches to this debate about the history and science of sexuality.
