Indeed, the Gothic-ness of Queer Theory is so automatic that the latter frequently becomes a genre of Gothic fiction. Leckie’s “Ancillary Justice” posits that the queerness of Gothic literature is so deeply embedded that it creates a queer philosophy of its own. Thus, Leckie connects the concepts in question, arguing that discursive space is occupied by issues of difference, otherness, marginality, and the culturally created limits between what is normal and what is abnormal, much like queer theory. Specifically, Leckie points out that queer criticism has always been intrigued with the Gothic, but since Gothic texts were always fascinated with the “queer,” to the point where the genre can be intuitively read as something that is dedicated, in no minor part, to talking about the “queerness” that strikes at the core of cultural production. In her book “Ancillary Justice,” Leckie explores the Queer Theory is a literary and cultural approach that rejects standard definitions of sexuality and gender in favor of a more inclusive view of the world.
