Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. How does one know a whore is a whore? Upon what terms, standards, interpretive logics, and material practices does such knowledge depend? In Shakespeare and the Making of English Whoredom, Stephen Spiess pursues these questions and, in so doing, discovers the extraordinary cultural labor necessary to produce and sustain the fiction of the " as a fixed, coherent, and readily apprehensible category of sexual knowledge. This work, heshows, unfolds across a variety of historically situated social, textual, and linguistic processes, from the writing of dictionary entries, character sketches, and lyric poems to public proclamations, conversion rituals, anddramatic representations. It also extends into the present era, where scholars continue to shore up whoredom's incoherences and to reproduce moralized distinctions between " prostitutes and " whores.Charting a different approach in this book, Spiess argues that the ambiguities, incoherences, and impasses that attend the meanings and makings of English whoredom are essential to understanding how that category operates, bothin that historical culture and our own. Establishing whoredom as a knowledge relation and a material process, he reveals the analytical benefits of lingering in sites where sexual knowledge breaks down, and of tarrying with thecomplexities and consequences of the material practices, cultural logics, and social affects that emerge to mediate these impasses. Applying the methods and insights of queer epistemology to a topic of vital feminist concern, Spiess locates new sites for discursive contestation while resisting the identitarian or ontological logics that disciplinary categories seek to install in the first place. Shakespeare and the Making of English Whoredom thus delivers a new analytical framework forunderstanding the social, textual, and representational histories of illicit sexual figures in early modern England. How does one know a whore is a whore? Upon what terms, standards, interpretive logics, and material practices does such knowledge depend? This book pursues these questions and, in so doing, discovers the extraordinary cultural labor necessary to produce and sustain the fiction of the "whore" as a readily apprehensible category of sexual knowledge.
