This issue addresses how laborers within intimate industries-those
who do interpersonal work that tends to the sexual, bodily, health,
hygiene, or care needs of individuals-are shaping Asia's growing
role in the global economy. The contributors investigate how
intimate industries support relational connections for consumers
while disrupting laborers' relationships, as in the case of
migrants who perform intimate labor away from their families and
communities of origin. The articles collected here include
examinations of such trade-offs and their complex meanings and
implications for the workers. The authors explore these social
processes through the lens of industries that organize, enable, or
delimit the trade in domestic labor, marriage migration,
companionship and romance, sex work, pornographic performance,
surrogate mothering and ova donation, and cosmetics sales. This
issue puts people, as embodied subjects, back into narratives of
economic change and offers a perspective on globalization from
below. Contributors: Daniele Belanger, Hae Yeon Choo, Nicole
Constable, Daisy Deomampo, Akhil Gupta, Chaitanya Lakkimsetti,
