Blinding me with (queer) science: religion, sexuality, and (post?) modernity
International Journal for Philosophy of Religion 68 (1):107-119 (2010)
| Abstract | This essay brings to bear insights from continental philosophers Michel Foucault and Judith Butler on the science of (homo)sexuality and, more importantly, the desire to use such science to resolve contemporary conflicts over homosexuality’s acceptability. So-called queer science remains deeply beholden to modern notions of sex, gender, and sexuality, the author argues, a schematic that its premodern (Christian) roots further denaturalize. The philosophical insights drawn from this analysis are then applied to the controversy over homosexuality within global Christianity that often pits the backward former colonies against the modern west | |||||||||
