Oxford, Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt/M., New York, Wien. This
book examines homosexual rights as human rights in the light of
recent insights of cultural theory into identity, cultural values,
rights discourse and homosexuality. The focus of the study is on
the activist who is regarded as both the representative of
perspectives, actions and attitudes as well as the embodiment of
tensions and broader struggles that reflect and rupture dominant
discourses of power. The book interrogates the homosexual activist
and the theory and practice of human rights in three distinct
nations: Indonesia, Singapore and Australia. It discusses and
analyses the ways in which activists in these three polities devise
strategies of survival and negotiate the limits of justice. The
interface between Australia and Southeast Asia is a poignant
context, which highlights different and overlapping (Western and
Asian) perspectives on notions of rights, law, identity, activism,
culture and sexuality. Contents: Apartheid of Homosexuality -
Homosexual Rights as Human Rights - Theorising the Homosexual
Activist - Homosexuality and Human Rights in Indonesia, Singapore
and Australia - Queer(y)ing Human Rights in the Twenty First
Century.
