A Primer on Queer Theory for Economists Interested in Social Identities
介绍酷儿理论,研究语言结构如何支撑社会经济不平等及其对市场和制度的依赖,旨在提醒经济学家不要不加批判地使用“身份”概念。
Queer theory studies the linguistic structures which lie behind socioeconomic inequality as well as the dependence of these structures on markets and other institutions. The methods of this theory and some of its assertions are exhibited. In particular, Foucault's conjectures about the birth of the concept of sexuality and the gender asymmetry in the historical articulation of lesbian and gay identities are described. The goal is to queer the temptation for economists to use ''identities'' uncritically.
