While hook-up culture on university campuses represents a part of
the story, it is only part of the story. It is important to add to
this and investigate the way the university itself brokers and
seeks out specific forms of sexuality, sex, and connection amongst
students. This book sheds light on how the university as an
institution endorses certain forms of sociality, sexuality, and
coupling, while excluding others. Building on extensive
ethnographic fieldwork, this book furthers the discussion on the
impact these institutional measures have on students, and how
students work through and around them - while simultaneously
establishing relations outside of and beyond hooking-up.
Neoliberalism has had a radical impact on the lived, gendered
experiences of people around the world. But while the gendered
dimensions of neoliberalism have already received significant
scholarly attention, the existing literature has given little
consideration to men's identities and experiences. Building on the
work of Cornwall and Lindisfarne's landmark text Dislocating
Masculinity, this collection provides a fresh perspective on gender
dynamics under neoliberalism. Bringing together a series of short,
readable case studies drawn from new ethnographic fieldwork, its
subjects range from the experiences of working-class men in Putin's
Russia to colonial masculinities in Southern Rhodesia, and from
young British Muslim men to amateur footballers in Jamaica.
Using a cross-cultural perspective, The Everyday Makings of
Heteronormativity: Cross-Cultural Explorations of Sex, Gender, and
Sexuality examines the conceptual formulation of heteronormativity
and highlights the mundane operations of its construction in
diverse contexts. Heterosexual culture simultaneously
institutionalizes its narrations and normalcies, operating in a way
that preserves its own coherency. Heteronormativity gains its
privileges and coherency through public operations and the
mutuality of the public and private spheres. The contributors to
this edited collection examine this coherency and privilege and
explore in ethnographic detail the operations and making of
heteronormative devices: material, affective, narrative, spatial,
and bodily. This book is recommended for students and scholars of
anthropology, sociology, and gender and sexuality studies.

With a cross-cultural perspective, the essays in The Everyday
Makings of Heteronormativity examine the consistent constructing of
heteronormativity as a way to contribute to the conceptual
formulation of the term, bring forward the mundane operations of it
in diverse contexts, and establish heteronormativity as the focus
of an ethnographic lens. Heterosexual culture simultaneously
institutionalizes its narrations and normalcies, so that it
operates in a way towards preserving its own coherency.
Heteronormativity gains its privileges and coherency through public
operations, and the mutuality of public and private. The chapters
in this volume examine this coherency and privilege, to explore in
ethnographic detail the operations and making of heteronormative
devices: material, affective, narrative, spatial and bodily.
