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.
