Opis produktu
Drawing on gender queer and postcolonial studies and representing different regional perspectives this book critically examines the relationship among gender sexuality global governance development and queer social movements in the global South.This book addresses how sexual practices and identities are imagined and regulated through development discourses and within institutions of global governance.The underlying premise of this volume is that the global development industry plays a central role in constructing peoples sexual lives access to citizenship and struggles for livelihood. Despite the industrys persistent insistence on viewing sexuality as basically outside the realm of economic modernization and antipoverty programs this volume brings to the fore heterosexual bias within macroeconomic and human rights development frameworks. The work fills an important gap in understanding how peoples intimate lives are governed through heteronormative policies which typically assume that the family is based on blood or property ties rather than on alternative forms of kinship. By placing heteronormativity at the center of analysis this anthology thus provides a muchneeded discussion about the development industrys role in pathologizing sexual deviance yet also more recently in helping make visible a sexual rights agenda. Providing insights valuable to a range of disciplines this book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Development Studies Gender Studies and International Relations. It will also be highly relevant to development practitioners and international human rights advocates.The Open Access version of this book available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9780203868348 has been made available under a Creative Commons AttributionNon CommercialNo Derivatives 4.0 license.Introduction: Development Global Governance and Sexual SubjectivitiesData Publikacji: 2010-01-04
