About the book:

Ways of Queering, Ways of Seeing offers a rich collection of multi-disciplinary contributions which contain a special emphasis on queering cultural pluralisms. Whereas much work on queer theorisations and sexualities has typically focused on western notions of the subject, resulting in a further normalisation of western bodies, spaces and practices, the strength of this collection is the central position it gives to non-dominant yet significant cultural identities, practices and places – to queer global realities. The scholarship is unique among similarly-themed collections in being developed within an environment of mutual scholarly exchange between authors from multiple cultural localities and varied disciplinary terrains. Authors offer stimulating readings of texts, theories, spaces and moments in time, addressing existing questions about subjectivity, agency, power and otherness, and provoking new questions within shared concerns. The result is a collection of innovative research that speaks to matters of significance for current living and theorising.
