"This book reflects on 'the political' in queer theory and politics by revisiting two of its key categories: hegemony and heteronormativity. It explores the specific insights offered by these categories and the ways in which they augment the analysis of power and domination from a queer perspective, whilst also examining the possibilities for political analysis and strategy-building provided by theories of hegemony and heteronormativity. Moreover, in addressing these issues the book strives to rethink the understanding of the term "queer", so as to avoid narrowing queer politics to a critique of normative heterosexuality and the rigid gender binary. By looking at the interplay between hegemony and heteronormativity, this ground-breaking volume presents new possibilities of reconceptualizing 'the political' from a queer perspective. Investigating the effects of queer politics not only on subjectivities and intimate personal relations, but also on institutions, socio-cultural processes and global politics, this book will be of interest to those working in the fields of critical theory, gender and sexuality, queer theory, postcolonial studies, and feminist political theory."

"This book promotes dialogue and debate on the understudied and under-theorized topic of queer masculinities and education, offering scholarly contributions to critical masculinity studies, to gender and sexuality studies and to the field of education. The essays adopt a range of approaches from empirical studies to reflective theorizing, and address themselves to three separate educational realms, the K-12 level, the collegiate level, and the level in popular culture, which could be called ?cultural pedagogy?.

"Jika kawasan pada umumnya memilih untuk hanya mendukung universalitas HAM, maka tidak demikian bagi ASEAN. Ia mendukung prinsip universal melalui instrumen-instrumen HAM internasional. Dengan bersamaan, ia membuat AHRD yang turut mengatur bahwa HAM harus ditegakkan dengan mempertimbangkan partikularitas regional maupun nasional. Penelitian ini menganalisis bagaimana diskursus kontestasi HAM menjelaskan pembuatan AHRD tersebut. Penelitian ini berupaya mendapatkan penjelasan yang mendalam dan tuntas melalui pendekatan kualitatif dan interpretatif. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan logika dari Queer Theory yang memungkinkan untuk mengalisis kasus tersebut. Ternyata ditemukan bahwa ketika AHRD dianalisis dengan menggunakan teori tersebut, AHRD dapat dipahami sebagai dokumen yang menawarkan jawaban bagi kebutuhan realita sosial ASEAN.

Regions in general choose to only support universality in human rights. However, ASEAN supports universality through various international instruments. At the same time, the region also supports particularity through its AHRD by considering both regional and national particularities. This research aims to see how the contestation between both principles explain this case. In doing so, this research uses qualitative and interpretative approaces to achieve deep and thorough explanations. It also uses the logics of Queer Theory in realising such goal. When AHRD is analysed using that logic, it is found, that the document offers answers to ASEAN’s social reality."

"“Bersebrangan” dari apa pun yang berada di dalam ruang dan garis “standar” mungkin dapat merepresentasikan pengalaman dan identitas queer/kwir. Perdebatan yang berkenaan dengan isur kwir kerap masih terlimitasi kepada anggapan bahwa individu seakan memang “sewajarnya” mempunyai ketertarikan seksual serta romantis sebagaimana kelompok normatif pada umumnya. Tidak lain untuk hidup berpasangan, berkeluarga, atau berprokreasi. Dalam kata lain, bahkan pembahasan mengenai queerness sendiri juga secara tidak langsung dibentuk oleh kerangka yang masih begitu lekat dengan (cis-hetero)normativitas. Adanya asumsi yang – disadari maupun tidak – menyamaratakan ketertarikan tiap individu lantas mengarahkan bahwa yang tidak merasakan hal tersebut sebagai “berbeda”; mereka yang menjadi tidak terlihat. Padahal, terdapat juga sebagian orang yang kurang atau bahkan sama sekali tidak memiliki ketertarikan tersebut; merekalah kelompok yang dikategorikan ke dalam payung istilah a-spec/aroace (aromantic/asexual spectrum). Melalui konsep performativitas serta fenomenologi kwir, saya berusaha memahami bagaimana keberulangan dan pengalaman queerness itu juga berhubungan dengan proses kwir mendekat dengan ruang-ruang yang dianggap “lain”. Riset ini dilakukan secara kualitatif; yakni melalui penyatuan observasi partisipan (disertai dengan wawancara mendalam) dan fenomenologi (kwir). Berangkat dari rumusan sebelumnya, dapat terlihat bagaimana dalam praktiknya performativitas itu hadir melalui ruang-ruang interaksi yang subtil; di mana melalui kesadaran menjadi “yang lain”, mereka menavigasi dan merayakan identitas sebagai kwir.

“Diverging” from whatever that is inside the “standardized” space and not staying in the “straight line” could perhaps represent the queer identities and experiences. Debates that pertain within queer issues still often become limited towards a presumption that all individuals would “initially” carry some types of sexual and romantic attractions like the normatives in general. Besides their gender and sexuality, that belief somehow expects us to imagine a life with a partner, bond a future family, or procreation. In other words, even the discussions about queerness itself are still subconsciously shaped by the (cis-hetero)normative tendencies. Hence, the widespread assumption that tries to align all the diverse individual attractions orientates those who do not feel it as “deviant”; those who become invisible. Whereas, there are some people who feel less intrigue; they do not or cannot sensate it altogether. They are commonly known under the umbrella term of a-spec/aro-ace (aromantic/asexual spectrum). To see this phenomenon, I dwell myself through the concept of performativity and queer phenomenology – by understanding how those ritualized repetitions and queers’ bodily experiences are also related with their consciousness to approach the “less proximate” spaces seen as “the others”. This study was done through qualitative methods; by combining participant observation (collected from in-depth interviews) and (queer) phenomenology. Departing from the problems mentioned, we would see how in practice performativity emerges by way of subtle interaction spaces; whereby, through the self-consciousness to become “the others”, they could navigate and celebrate their queerness as a whole."

"What is CMS for and what might its future be- both inside the domain of academia and outside it? It's a question that has beguiled and frustrated academics within and outside its community. At the hear of CMS is an enduring skepticism concerning the social and ecological sustainability of prevailing ideas and forms of management and organization. Using ideas from feminist and queer theory, authors of this volume aim to generate some thinking and possibly a nascent agenda. It focuses on the future of CMS but also intertwines it with ideas as to how scholarly communities can engage in working lives differently."

""Sex work is a subject of significant contestation across academic disciplines, as well as within legal, medical, moral, feminist, political and socio-cultural discourses. A large body of research exists, but much of this focuses on the sale of sex by women to men and ignores other performances, practices, meanings and embodiments in the contemporary sex industry. A queer agenda is important in order to challenge hetero-centric gender norms and to develop new insights into how gender, sex, power, crime, work, migration, space/​place, health and intimacy are understood in the context of commercial sexual encounters. Queer Sex Work explores what it might mean to 'be', 'do' and 'think' queer(ly) in the study and practice of commercial sex. It brings together a multiplicity of empirical case studies - including erotic dance venues, online sex working, pornography, grey sexual economies, and BSDM - and offers a variety of perspectives from academic scholars, policy practitioners, activists and sex workers themselves. In so doing, the book advances a queer politics of sex work that aims to disrupt heteronormative logics whilst also making space for different voices in academic and political debates about commercial sex. This unique and multidisciplinary volume will be indispensable for scholars and students of the global sex trade and of gender, sexuality, feminism and queer theory more broadly, as well as policymakers, activists and practitioners interested in the politics and practice of sex work in local, national and international contexts""
