This interdisciplinary collection examines the shaping of local
sexual cultures in the Asian Pacific region in order to move beyond
definitions and understandings of sexuality that rely on Western
assumptions. The diverse studies in "AsiaPacifiQueer" demonstrate
convincingly that in the realm of sexualities, globalization
results in creative and cultural admixture rather than a unilateral
imposition of the western values and forms of sexual culture. These
essays range across the Pacific Rim and encompass a variety of
forms of social, cultural, and personal expression, examining
sexuality through music, cinema, the media, shifts in popular
rhetoric, comics and magazines, and historical studies. By
investigating complex processes of localization, interregional
borrowing, and hybridization, the contributors underscore the
mutual transformation of gender and sexuality in both Asian Pacific
and Western cultures.
Contributors are Ronald Baytan, J. Neil C. Garcia, Kam Yip Lo
Lucetta, Song Hwee Lim, J. Darren Mackintosh, Claire Maree,
Jin-Hyung Park, Teri Silvio, Megan Sinnott, Yik Koon Teh, Carmen Ka
Man Tong, James Welker, Heather Worth, and Audrey Yue.
