Gender and the Labyrinth

This essay analyses the labyrinthine nature of Kathy Acker‘s texts “Seeing Gender” (1995), Blood and Guts in High School (1979, publ. 1984) and Empire of the Senseless (1988). An understanding of Acker’s writing as a re-writing of the concepts of sex and gender will be linked to her negotiation of concepts of corporeality and temporality as forms of entrapment of the self.

Abstract

This essay analyses the labyrinthine nature of Kathy Acker‘s texts “Seeing Gender” (1995), Blood and Guts in High School (1979, publ. 1984) and Empire of the Senseless (1988). An understanding of Acker’s writing as a re-writing of the concepts of sex and gender will be linked to her negotiation of concepts of corporeality and temporality as forms of entrapment of the self.
