- Summary
- Mundane Heterosexualities provides the reader with a critical overview of feminist thinking on the topic of heterosexuality. It argues that as a social rather than sexual category, heterosexuality can be seen as the organizing principle of our everyday lines. Presenting new data on the making of heterosexual relationships within extended families, it raises profound methodological questions about empirical research into an invisible or unmarked category which have implications for work on the body, emotions, everyday life and masculinity, amongst other issues.
