The wedding will consider how gender studies and queer theory happen to be converted, received, appropriated, and declined in France, sparking debates about religion, nature, science, cultural imports, immigration, race, and national belonging. How has gender been assimilated, caricatured, and affirmed, as well as for what reasons? How has got the group of gender become associated with both calls for gay marriage as well as for sexual autonomy, and just how will the religious critique of gender enhance the issue of national wholesomeness, linking to current debates about immigration and non secular diversity?
