This book reflects on 'the political' in queer theory and politics
by revisiting two of its key categories: hegemony and
heteronormativity. It explores the specific insights offered by
these categories and the ways in which they augment the analysis of
power and domination from a queer perspective, whilst also
examining the possibilities for political analysis and
strategy-building provided by theories of hegemony and
heteronormativity. Moreover, in addressing these issues the book
strives to rethink the understanding of the term "queer", so as to
avoid narrowing queer politics to a critique of normative
heterosexuality and the rigid gender binary. By looking at the
interplay between hegemony and heteronormativity, this
ground-breaking volume presents new possibilities of
reconceptualizing 'the political' from a queer perspective.
Investigating the effects of queer politics not only on
subjectivities and intimate personal relations, but also on
institutions, socio-cultural processes and global politics, this
book will be of interest to those working in the fields of critical
theory, gender and sexuality, queer theory, postcolonial studies,
and feminist political theory.

Employing feminist, queer, and postcolonial perspectives, Global
Justice and Desire addresses economy as a key ingredient in the
dynamic interplay between modes of subjectivity, signification and
governance. Bringing together a range of international
contributors, the book proposes that both analyzing justice through
the lens of desire, and considering desire through the lens of
justice, are vital for exploring economic processes. A variety of
approaches for capturing the complex and dynamic interplay of
justice and desire in socioeconomic processes are taken up. But,
acknowledging a complexity of forces and relations of power,
domination, and violence - sometimes cohering and sometimes
contradictory - it is the relationship between hierarchical gender
arrangements, relations of exploitation, and their colonial
histories that is stressed. Therefore, queer, feminist, and
postcolonial perspectives intersect as Global Justice and Desire
explores their capacity to contribute to more just, and more
desirable, economies.
