Capitalism and Heterosexuality

Paper Summary:

An essay that illustrates the connection and the perpetuation of heterosexuality via capitalism; how capitalism reinforces people to be heterosexually-minded and, essentially, continue the flow of capital by keeping the family system intact; thus, it is the generation money by "reproductive organs".

From the Paper:

"Is there a parallel link between capitalism and heterosexuality? Is the fact that, coming from a family and essentially having a heterosexual, reproductive inclinations eventually tied to the work force of capitalist enterprise? Considering Angels in America: Perestroika I will attempt to reveal how heterosexuality has been appropriated as a tool for capitalism. This will be done by analyzing the processes and the development of concepts of 'homosexuality', 'queerness' 'heterosexuality' and 'capitalism'. First, I will inquire into the history of homosexuality and heterosexuality and then, I will continue with contemporary reflections on how these ideas are described in current literary circles. For the conclusion, I will propose a parallelism between capitalism and heterosexuality which are complimentary to each other both for social order and for the perpetuation of capital industry."
