(Hi)Stories of Desire situates questions of sexuality in the larger
domain where they are conditioned by and, in turn, also condition
historically and culturally produced landscapes of being, doing and
desiring. The book draws upon multi-disciplinary frameworks of
analysis - including history, anthropology, literary studies, queer
studies and psychoanalysis - to provide a pan-Indian account of the
making of sexual cultures. Based on original research, the chapters
foreground sexuality as a significant site for the making of
regional, national and personal modernities. The volume addresses
the modern paradox where sexuality is assigned a central
significance in human life and yet its study tends to remain
unconnected from the political, religious, social and economic
contexts that produce human subjectivity. It will be of interest to
a wide range of readership, opening up the topic to complex yet
accessible ways of understanding the culture of sexualities and the
sexuality of culture.
