Book Summary
Situated at the crossroads of feminism, queer theory, and poststructuralist
debates around identity, this is not a book about Simone de Beauvoir, but,
rather, a book that addresses the different ways in which she is constructed as
an intelligible "self" by academics, biographers and the media. It shows how key
Western concepts such as individuality constrain attempts to deconstruct the
self and prevent bisexuality being understood as an identity. Drawing on Deleuze
and Guattari to see what this construction of bisexuality offers contemporary
theories, it also critiques Foucault's work.
