This book examines queer activism and queer social movements (QSMs)
in Indonesia and Malaysia, broadly engaging with these topics on
three different levels: macro (global and national discourses),
meso (organizational level - activities), and micro (individual -
the activist). The micro level perspective allows for moving beyond
the "traditional" political movement paradigm by understanding
activism in Foucauldian terms as the ethics of the self (Foucault,
1984). In other words, the queer subject is seen as an active agent
in taking care of the self by queering/resisting gender norms as
well as heteronormative practices and regimes in their social
environment through embodiment and actions. This kind of ethical
being has the potential to build support and community between and
amongst individuals.
