Queer Asia
Beschreibung
Building on the work of the annual Queer Asia conference, which the editors helped to establish, this collection represents the most comprehensive work to date on queer studies in an Asian context. Featuring case studies and original research from across the continent, covering the Middle East, South and East Asia, and Asian diasporas, the collection offers a genuinely pan-Asian perspective which places queer Asian identities and movements in dialogue with each other, rather than within a Western framework.
By considering how queerness is imagined within plural Asian experiences and contexts, the contributors show a that re-envisioning of 'queer' through Asian perspectives has the potential to challenge existing discourses and debates in the wider field of contemporary gender, sexuality, and queer studies.

Chiang, University of California, Davis * Bursting forth online and in various spaces, 'Queer' Asia is certainly one of the most energetic and exciting phenomena to emerge in gender and sexuality studies, and queer politics, over recent years. Blending academic research and critical theory with the cultural and the political the 'Queer' Asia network has successfully contributed to redefining the landscape and geopolitics of global queer studies * Matthew Waites, University of Glasgow *Weitere Details
