The Invention of Heterosexuality
Book • 2007
Jonathan Katz's "The Invention of Heterosexuality" is a significant work in the history of sexuality.
It challenges the notion of heterosexuality as a timeless and natural category, arguing that it's a relatively recent social construct.
Katz traces the historical development of the concept, examining how it emerged and evolved over time.
He analyzes the role of language, science, and social institutions in shaping our understanding of heterosexuality.
The book is a valuable contribution to understanding the social construction of sexual identities and the power dynamics involved.
