Beskrivning
This pioneering interdisciplinary collection works across mainstream and alternative spaces such as Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Grindr and gay men’s health websites. These digital platforms are then situated within the contemporary socio-political conjuncture in India, offering a way of understanding queerness and Indian-ness in contemporary India. 'Queering' in this book does not simply refer to a sexual category rather queerness is a mode of dispossession through which certain bodies are rendered as bodies marked for discipline and regulation. This book takes on diverse strands of queer theory in order to name the ways neoliberalism, nationalism, digital technologies, and movements for queer rights converge with each other within present day India. This analytical approach to queerness in India is the first of its kind and the result is a pioneering interdisciplinary collection.

Recensioner i media

This collection gives voice to the identities, practices and cultures of LGBTQI people living in the world’s biggest democracy, interrogating their engagements and entanglements with digital communication technologies. It provides a critical response to the hegemony of digital scholarship and forces those of us in the West to look beyond our own digital backyards.
