Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick


    From her work, I learnt a new word Homosocial, a word difference from homosexual; oppositely, it describes social bonds between persons of the same sex. Sedgwick argues that "sexuality" and  "desire" were not a historial phenomenon but carefully managed social constracts. She also uses Foucault's theories of the history of sexuality to reproduce Feminism and Gay and Lesbian Studies.
       It also arises my curiosity of the difference between female and male.
