Passing/Out: Sexual Identity Veiled and Revealed: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Passing/Out: Sexual Identity Veiled and Revealed" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Passing/Out adopts an inter-generational, inter-disciplinary, and inter-subjective approach to the closeting and revelation of sexual identity, exploring questions of embodiment, ethics and identity in relation to passing or being out. Presenting the latest theoretical and empirical work from scholars working across a range of disciplines including sociology, cultural and media studies, philosophy, gender studies, literary studies and history, this book discusses the nature and history of sexual identity and the manner in which identity functions within social relationships. In recognition of the transformative impact of queer theory upon the study of sexuality and identity, Passing/Out constructs a dialogue between the work of scholars whose intellectual careers began prior to the advent of queer theory and those whose work has been more immediately and directly shaped by this approach, with a view to breaking new ground in the field of identity. Shedding light on the meaning of passing and outing in relation to identity, this volume will be of interest to social scientists and scholars of the humanities working on questions of sexuality, identity, embodiment and ethics.

Introduction

Dennis R. Cooley and Kelby Harrison

Richard Mohr argues that questions of passing and outing are not a set of ethical questions, but the set of ethical questions in the life of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and queer persons. In order to ask the ethical life organizing questions about how one should veil or reveal a sexual identity, one must also ask difficult questions about the nature of identity, the history of sexual identity, and how identity, sexual or otherwise, functions within our personal and social relationships.
