Download or read book Sexuality Reimagined written by Shailja Tandon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines how medical knowledge is produced around bodies that do not fit in the heteronormative framework of the state’s rationale and processes. The marginal bodies studied in this research are termed MSM, men who have sex with men, categorized as a high-risk group in the backdrop of HIV/AIDS. These Queer bodies entered the registers of epidemiology and governmentality. This classification is the point of departure for the book. The book interrogates and asks how does a sexual subject become a political question? To answer this political trajectory, the book analyses the category of risk in biomedicine. It investigates how the category of risk becomes critical to the Indian state’s rationale and policies wherein, through the ambit of health and population, sexuality is managed. Unearthing the sexual politics in South Asia, the book, based on rich empirical evidence derived from the lived experiences of MSM, narrates the construction of sexual subjectivity and masculinity. The process of construction occurs in negotiation with the Indian state, bringing forth the dimension of the Indian state as a medico-legal governmentality regime and how MSM takes on the identity of a medicalized subject.

Book excerpt: A wide-ranging volume featuring contributions from some of today's leading thinkers and practitioners in the field of men, masculinities and development.

Download or read book Bodies in Resistance written by Wendy Harcourt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the emerging new research on civic innovation, this book explores how sexual politics and gender relations play out in feminist struggles around body politics in Brazil, Colombia, India, Iran, Mexico, Nepal, Turkey, Nicaragua, as well as in East Africa, Latin America and global institutions and networks. From diverse disciplinary perspectives, the book looks at how feminists are engaged in a complex struggle for democratic power in a neoliberal age and at how resistance is integral to possibilities for change. In making visible resistances to dominant economic and social policies, the book highlights how such struggles are both gendered and gendering bodies. The chapters explore struggles for healthy environments, sexual health and reproductive rights, access to abortion, an end to gender-based violence, the human rights of LGBTIQA persons, the recognition of indigenous territories and all peoples’ rights to care, love and work freely. The book sets out the violence, hopes, contradictions and ways forward in these civic innovations, resistances and connections across the globe.

Download or read book The SAGE Handbook of Fieldwork written by Dick Hobbs and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2006-01-05 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ′This is an excellent collection of papers which celebrates the best of traditional approaches to fieldwork, whilst also looking to its future. The Handbook will quickly become essential reading for the novice and experienced fieldworker across many of the social sciences′ - Chris Pole, University of Leicester Fieldwork is widely practiced but little written about, yet accounts of the exotic, mundane, complex and often dangerous are central to not only sociology and anthropology but also geography, social psychology and criminology. In all these - increasingly overlapping - fields, experience underlies any comprehensive understanding of social life. The SAGE Handbook of Fieldwork presents the first major overview of this method in all its variety, introducing the reader to the strengths, weaknesses, and ′real world′ applications of fieldwork techniques. Its 22 carefully chosen chapters are each based on a substantive field of empirical enquiry, written by an acknowledged expert in the field. The range is impressive: from the traditional to the virtual, concerning subjects as diverse as emotion, sexuality, sport, embodiment, identity, self-narrative, fieldwork in organizations, science and technology. Specifically intended for use in undergraduate and postgraduate courses in qualitative research design and methodology in sociology, anthropology, criminology, urban studies, social geography, public health and education, the handbook will also prove beneficial to academic researchers in these and other disciplines.
Download or read book Urban Utopias written by Tereza Kuldova and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings anthropologists and critical theorists together in order to investigate utopian visions of the future in the neoliberal cities of India and Sri Lanka. Arguing for the priority of materiality in any analysis of contemporary ideology, the authors explore urban construction projects, special economic zones, fashion ramps, films, archaeological excavations, and various queer spaces. In the process, they reveal how diverse co-existing utopian visions are entangled with local politics and global capital, and show how these utopian visions are at once driven by visions of excess and by increasing expulsions. It’s a dystopia already in the making – one marred by land grabs and forced evictions, rising inequality, and the loss of urbanity and civility.

Download or read book Life I Don t Have the Answers You Do I Am Still Here written by James Alexander Posley McTaggart III and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014-12-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His earliest memories swirl with vivid, colorful ambitions of a creative life helping others. From his days as a child in Brooklyn, New York, James Alexander Posley McTaggart III has let his imagination guide and inspire him. Now a professional counselor and mentor, he channels those ambitions to the page. In college, he began each day with a writing exercise he called “Morning Pages,” in which he would write until he had filled three pages. This practice inspired a lifelong devotion to daily writing, where he realized his creative mind was motivated by the young child with the command-of-lights imagination within. As an adult, he battles with depression, and in the pages of his journals, he has created his own therapeutic approach to self-healing. In Life, I Don’t Have The Answers, You Do; I Am Still Here, he shares a collection of inspiring and thought-provoking quotes and thoughts designed to inspire readers. The process of writing his first book moved him deeply; he cried, laughed, doubted, praised, and expressed every human emotion possible. It was, for him, a cathartic and serendipitous affair. A bold new collection of stream-of-consciousness writings and musings about life, love, faith, hope, healing, and creativity, Life, I Don’t Have T he Answers, You Do: I Am Still Here invites readers to explore their own inner playgrounds for answers.
