D. Abstraction
Discuss the definitions, characteristics and features of Biographical Approach
and Queer Theory:

Biographical Approach uses details about an author’s personal life to analyze

the author’s works.

AUTHOR + AUTHOR’S LIFE EXPERIENCE + TEXT = MEANING

It relies on autobiographies correspondence and other primary details about the

author.

1. What aspects of the author’s personal life are relevant to the story?
2. Which of the author’s stated beliefs reflected in the story?
3. What seems to be the author’s major concerns? Do they reflect any of the
writer’s personal experiences?

Queer Theory origins are in LGBT studies – which focus on sexuality and
gender. It emphasizes the fluid and humanly performed nature of sexuality – or
better, sexualities. It questions socially established norms and dualistic
categories with a special focus on challenging sexual
(heterosexual/homosexual), gender (male/female), class (rich/poor), racial
(white/non-white) classifications. Just as feminists perceive of gender as a
socially constructed public and political affair, so queer theorists argue with
regards to sexuality and gender expression.

accomplish related to the interpretation of the story. They will be the one who will
