Atypical Sexuality in Queer Theory

The aim of presented text is to reveal discussion of the basic assumptions of queer theory. The emergence of different approach to normative and non-normative sexualities challenging the “identity politics” provoked, in Polish gender studies, concern as well as the attempts to include queer theory to their emancipatory purposes. Queer is also a methodological perspective which includes the analysis of sexualities in the world life and the textual deconstructive studies revealing the ways in which simplified binary oppositions system limit our understanding, especially related to sexualities, and lead to normative violence.
