- Description
- The author argues how interdisciplinary collaboration between anthropology and queer studies might enrich both fields. The case studies deal with the relation of sexualities to nationalism, religion and globalization and include: an examination of zines published by gay Indonesians: an analysis of 'bahasa gay', a slang spoken by gay Indonesians: an exploration of the place of warias ('male-to-female transvestites') within Indonesian society. Boellstorff also describes the tension between Islam and sexuality in gay Indonesians’ lives and a series of incidents in which groups of men used violence against gay men.

- Description
- Same-sex relations, transvestism and cross-gender behaviour have long been noted amongst a wide range of Indonesian peoples. This book explores the nature of gender diversity in Indonesia and examines Islam in this context. It discusses in particular calalai, female-born individuals who identify as neither woman nor man: calabai, male-born individuals who also identify as neither man nor woman: and bissu, an order of shamans who embody female and male elements. The book examines the lives and roles of these variously gendered subjectivities in everyday life, including in low-status and high-status ritual such as wedding ceremonies, fashion parades, cultural festivals, Islamic recitations and shamanistic rituals
