Globalisation, love, intimacy and silence in a working class butch/fem community in Jakarta
This paper explores the dynamics of a butch-femme community in Jakarta, Indonesia, focussing on the ways in which they are linked to the emerging global discourses on gay/lesbian and queer politics. It argues that the locality in which this community moves, with its historical and culturally specific codes of silences and speaking determines the ways in which they relate to the emerging global discourses of love and same sex`desires. Class and age are other important mediating factors
