Discussions of globalization usually focus on political, economic,
and technological transformations, but fail to recognize how we
experience these processes in our daily lives, including our most
intimate acts and practices. In this volume, anthropologists and
sociologists draw on long-term ethnographic research on love,
gender, and sexuality in a broad range of regions to discuss how
global forces shape marriage, commercial sex, the political economy
of intimacy, and lesbian and gay expressions of companionship.
The richly-textured ethnographies provoke a series of questions
about emerging vocabularies for friendship and romance; the
adoption of cultural forms from faraway places; the emergence of
new desires, pleasures, and emotions that circulate as commodities
in the global marketplace; and the ways economic processes shape
public and private expressions of sexual intimacy.
