An Ethos with a Bite: Queer Appetites from Sex to Food

University of Sydney

In this article I argue that queer theory needs to extend its theoretical reach beyond an increasingly overprivileged and narrow use of sexuality. What could, for instance, a doubled consideration of eating and sex reveal? Following Foucault's description of the dietetic regimen in ancient Greece, I elaborate the necessity of thinking an ethos of existence in terms of the regulation of bodies in alimentary and sexual regimes.

Key Words: bodies • ethos • regimen (alimentary and sexual)
