Reading Notes: Sedgwick, _Epistemology of the Closet_, part 1

Thu, 14 Oct 2010 03:20:16 GMT

I've read this book before, but I need to write an 8-10 page review of this book for a class this weekend, so I am re-reading it and taking notes. My current plan is a summary that contextualizes it with some other work (in particular Fear of a Queer Planet), two pages on the introduction, one page on each of the chapters, and then a conclusion that suggests where it influenced future work and might influence work yet to be done. I think this will work out pretty well, and should land me solidly in 8-10 pages. So these notes may not be terribly useful if you haven't read the book, but I do recommend this book, especially the introduction, which is solidly grounded in real life and the real problems of real people. Also this sort of reading is going to take me ages and I am going to write more than one post.
( Preface and Introduction (that's like 75 pages) )
