As the world changes, so sexual identities are changing. In a
context of globalisation, mass communication and technological
advances, individuals find themselves able to make lifestyle
choices in new and different ways. In this increasingly confusing
world, sociologists have argued that identities are in flux, and
that traditional patterns of identity and intimacy are being
disrupted and reshaped, with all the implications for sexual
identities that this suggests. Changing Gay Male Identities draws
on the powerful life stories of twenty-one gay men to explore how
individuals construct and maintain their sense of self in
contemporary society. The book draws upon theoretical debates on
topics such as gender, performance, sex, class, camp, race and
ethnicity, to explore four aspects of identity: the role of the
body in who we are relationships and communities performing in
everyday life reconciling different aspects of our selves (such as
religion and sexuality). In Changing Gay Male Identities Andrew
Cooper assesses the magnitude of these social and sexual changes.
He argues that although there are many opportunities for new forms
of identity in a changing world, the possibilities can be
significantly constrained, and that this has major implications for
the freedoms and choices of individuals in contemporary societies.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of
sociology, sexuality studies, gender studies, and GLBTQ studies.
