- Description
- The Accrediting Council of Educators in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC) recently added sexual orientation to its revised diversity standards. This means that journalism schools seeking accreditation or re-accreditation must develop a curriculum that fosters an understanding of issues and perspectives that is inclusive in terms of gender, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation. News and Sexuality is a practical teaching tool that will help educators meet these new accreditation standards by addressing these complex and often controversial issues, providing additional resources, discussion questions, suggested homework assignments, and a glossary of terms.

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.

- This book explores the dynamics of cross-dressing and gender performance in contemporary francophone Caribbean cultures through a range of visual and textual media. Original in its comparative focus on the islands of Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe and their diasporic communities in France, this study reveals how opaque strategies of crossing, mimicry and masquerade have enabled resistance to the racialised, gendered and patriarchal classifications of bodies that characterized Enlightenment thought during the French transatlantic slave trade.

- Description
- Book about women dressed up as men in America during the 1800s and early 1900s. The majority of women who passed as men did this for economic reasons. There were also women who cross-dressed in order to serve in the military, to travel freely or to marry other women. During the period 1840-1920 the act of cross-dressing was illegal in many parts of America. The book describes the law and authority system by showing examples featuring women who were taken into custody, harrassed and arrested for dressing in male garb. Whatever the motive, most women rebelled against the patriarchical system in order to achieve a measure of equality.

- Drawing on primary fieldwork, this work offers a cross-cultural study of transvestitism through an examination of transvestites in Britain and the Hijras of India. The author tackles questions like: Is transvestitism motivated primarily by sex or gender? How does culture shape notions of sexuality and gender? Why are transvestites in the West often seen as 'deviant' or 'perverse,' while they are accepted in other societies? What are the implications for the categories of 'male' and 'female' when considering transvestism? She also pays attention to the importance of dress and the artefactual nature of the construction of the self through clothing.

- In this book Mann examines the influence of the Elizabethan cross-dressed tradition on the performance and conception of Shakespeare's female roles through an analysis of all 205 extant plays written for the adult theatre. The author shows how Shakespeare exploited the cross-dressed convention as a dramatic medium. He discusses modern critisism of Shakespeare's work, including feminist criticism. The subjects covered in the book are: the age and status of the performers: the erotic ambience (and the charge of homosexuality) in the plays: stage costume and performer ethos: male didacticism and female stereotyping: dramatic empathy and moral ambiguity: sexual violence: and positive representations of young women.

- This study examines how cross-dressers and transsexuals are represented in three different film genres - comedies, thrillers and mixed genre productions - focussing on examples such as Some Like It Hot, Tootsie, Mrs Doubtfire, Victor/Victoria, Psycho, Dressed to Kill, Silence of the Lambs,The Crying Game and Boys Don't Cry. It also includes a chapter on 'shemale' Internet pornography. Relying on psychoanalytic, queer and other post-modern theories, the author describes the influence of these cultural representations in the context of an increasingly, problematic distinction between the worlds of the imagination and reality, demonstrating the interdependency of our perceptions of transgender and its culturally constructed images.

- Description
- As contemporary Native and non-Native Americans explore various forms of 'gender bending' and gay and lesbian identities, interest has grown in 'berdaches,' the womanly men and manly women who existed in many Native American tribal cultures. Yet attempts to find current role models in these historical figures sometimes distort and oversimplify the historical realities. .This book provides a comprehensive study of Native American women-men and men-women across many tribal cultures and an extended time span. Sabine Lang explores such topics as their religious and secular roles: the relation of the roles of women-men and men-women to the roles of women and men in their respective societies: the ways in which gender-role change was carried out, legitimized, and explained in Native American cultures: the widely differing attitudes toward women-men and men-women in tribal cultures: and the role of these figures in Native mythology. Lang's findings challenge the apparent gender equality of the 'berdache' institution, as well as the supposed universality of concepts such as homosexuality.

- Description
- Focus on the meanings of passing for what you are not, whether it is mulattos passing as white, Jews passing as Christian, or drag queens passing as women. Bringing together theories of passing across different disciplines -from critical race theory and lesbian and gay studies, to literary theory and religious studies- the essays address the relationship between passing and visibility.
