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.
