Zusammenfassung:"Unhistorical Shakespeare argues that the way in which we study history has significant bearing on what desire we study and how we study it. Menon argues that our embrace of difference as the template for relating past and present produces a heterotemporality in which chronology determines identity. In turn, such an understanding of history fixes sexual identity as the domain of the present and relegates nebulous desire to a thing of the past. In contrast to this temporal-sexual reification, Unhistorical Shakespeare outlines the idea of homohistory, which questions the fundamental historicist assumptions of teleology, facticity, citation, origins, and authenticity to lay bare their investments in compulsory heterotemporality."--BOOK JACKET.
