Queer Southeast Asia showcases the current trends and developments of LGBTQ+ debates taking place throughout Southeast Asia. It offers a rich, dynamic collection of theoretical and methodological innovation and scholarship by researchers, activists and educators. Queer Southeast Asia makes a powerful and highly relevant contribution to regional and global discussions involving contemporary LGBTQ+ communities, culture, media and politics, especially in relation to emerging transnational concerns and challenges. ---Dr Baden Offord, Professor of Cultural Studies and Human Rights, Curtin University This pioneering book provides an essential guide to queer histories, cultures and social movements in the Southeast Asian context. Challenging a West-centred queer epistemology and championing an Inter-Asian cultural studies approach, this exciting volume places Southeast Asia at the heart of queer knowledge and global queer politics. ---Associate Professor Hongwei Bao, author of Queer China, Lesbian and Gay Literature and Visual Culture under Postsocialism Just as queerness implies an unfixed space of change and difference, Southeast Asia represents a region that perpetually defies conventional scholarly practice. At the juncture of these two epistemic formations, this book introduces some of the most cutting-edge research in the study of global queer Asia. It features an impressive diversity of topics, in terms of both breadth and depth, ranging from trans categorization, migrant labor, gay pornography, student activism, film history, postcolonial indigeneity, toilet habits, queer comics, online video streaming, experimental photography, digital governance, to sexuality studies and queer pedagogy. ---Howard Chiang, author of Transtopia in the Sinophone Pacific
