Publisher description
Starting from diverse theoretical perspectives, the eleven essays in this
volume further scholarly debate in the study of gender and sexuality by
exploring the relation of non-hetero sexualities to the geographies, poetics
and legalities of belonging. The volume represents an important extension of
the scope of lesbian and gay studies, as it shines fresh light on the very
different locations of homosexualities within British and European contexts.
Each essay draws on multiple sources, including historical and legal documents,
the texts of literature and popular culture, ethnographic writings, and
personal experience. In their attention to cultural, historical and textual specifics, the
contributors deploy significant new research to elaborate fresh understandings
of key concerns in the study of the social meanings of gender and
sexuality. Starting from diverse theoretical perspectives, the essays in this volume
further scholarly debate in the study of gender and sexuality by exploring the
relation of non-hetero sexualities to the geographies, poetics and legalities
of belonging.
