Drawing on methods and approaches from anthropology, media studies,
film theory, and cultural studies, the contributors to Media,
Erotics, and Transnational Asia examine how mediated eroticism and
sexuality circulating across Asia and Asian diasporas both reflect
and shape the social practices of their producers and consumers.
The essays in this volume cover a wide geographic and thematic
range, and combine rigorous textual analysis with empirical
research into the production, circulation, and consumption of
various forms of media.Judith Farquhar examines how health
magazines serve as sources of both medical information and erotic
titillation to readers in urban China. Tom Boellstorff analyzes how
queer zines produced in Indonesia construct the relationship
between same-sex desire and citizenship. Purnima Mankekar examines
the rearticulation of commodity affect, erotics, and nation on
Indian television. Louisa Schein describes how portrayals of Hmong
women in videos shot in Laos create desires for the homeland among
viewers in the diaspora. Taken together, the essays offer fresh
insights into research on gender, erotics, media, and Asia
transnationally conceived. Contributors. Anne Allison, Tom
Boellstorff, Nicole Constable, Heather Dell, Judith Farquhar, Sarah
L. Friedman, Martin F. Manalansan IV, Purnima Mankekar, Louisa
Schein, Everett Yuehong Zhang
