This book critically unpacks the why and how around everyday
rhetorics and slogans promoting global LGBTQ equality. Examining
the means by which particular discourses of progress and hope are
circulated globally, it offers unique insights into how LGBTQ
livelihoods, relationships, and social movements are legitimated
and valued in contemporary society. Adopting an innovative critical
discourse-ethnographic approach, Comer draws on scholarship from
the sociolinguistics of global mobility, queer linguistics, and
digital media studies, offering in-depth analyses of
representations of LGBTQ identity across a range of domains. The
volume examines semiotic linkages between: LGBTQ tourism marketing;
Cape Town, South Africa, as a locus for contemporary ideologies of
global mobility and equality; diversity management practices
framing LGBTQ equality as a business imperative; and, humanitarian
discourses within transnational LGBTQ advocacy. Autoethnographic
vignettes and principles from within queer theory are incorporated
by Comer's critical discourse-ethnographic approach, giving voice
to personal experience in order to sharpen scholarly understanding
of the relationships between everyday 'social voices', globalized
neoliberal political economy, and the media. Taken together, the
volume expansively (if queerly) maps what Comer refers to as 'the
mediatization of equality', and will be of interest to graduate
students and scholars in critical discourse studies,
sociolinguistics, and linguistic anthropology, as well as those
working across such fields as media studies, queer studies, and
sociology.
