Rousseau In Drag: Deconstructing Gender

Synopsis

'Rousseau in Drag' is a provocative new interpretation of Rousseau's gender politics. Rosanne Terese Kennedy reads Rousseau's well-known but brief flirtation with cross-dressing as a starting point to dramatically reconsider the standard reading of Rousseau as a misogynist. This study argues that rather than a figure of misogyny, Rousseau challenges normative gender identites, the couple, and traditional kinship relations. Reading Rousseau's classical political and philosophical works alongside his literarytexts, Kennedy offers us an alternative vision of both Rousseau's sexual politics and his politics in general.
