Sites of Desire/Economies of Pleasure: Sexualities in Asia and the Pacific

Chicago, Illinois, University of Chicago Press, 1997. . Softcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. One of my very favorite readers in gender and sexuality, another fine contribution to the Chicago Series on Sexuality, History, and Society, edited by two leading lights, Lenore Manderson and Margaret Jolly. Sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear. Contributions by the two editors, and by Jeffrey Clark, Lisa Law, Doug Porter, Jeffrey Clark, John D. Kelly, Adam Reed, and many others. From the publisher's blurb, "Discussions of sexuality in Asia and the Pacific have long been tinged with conceptions of the exotic Orient. Examining a world of erotic encounter between European, Asian, and Pacific people, these essays explore how sexual practices and sexual meanings have been constructed across cultural borders in Thailand, the Philippines, Burma/Myanmar, Japan, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and the Polynesian islands. Considering sexuality as embedded in a complex social and political world structured and saturated by gender, race, and class relations, these scholars challenge the categories with which sex and gender have been named and studied. They examine these sites of desire through specific historic and cultural circumstances, from the first explorations of Europeans, through colonial power, to the contemporary issues of sexual tourism, prostitution, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. A unique and important contribution to the study of sexuality, this book also suggests that the history of sexuality in the West was shaped by myths of the legendary Orient and the exotic "Other." Examining erotic encounters between European, Asian and Pacific people, these essays explore how sexual practice and sexual meanings have been constructed across cultural borders in Thailand, the Philippines, Burma/Myanmar, Japan, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and the Polynesian islands."

Genders & Sexualities in Modern Thailand

Chiang Mai, Thailand, Silkworm Books, 1999. . Softcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. A perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy. Extensively pencil-notated, and from the personal library of a noted sex researcher himself, Michael A. Weidemann. Contributions by the two editors and by Chris Lyttleton, Andrea Whittaker, Jiemin Bao, Scot Barme, Nicola Tannenbaum, Craig J. Reynolds, Penny Van Esterik, Prudence Borthwick, and many others. From the publisher's blurb, "Many foreign observers of the "Land of Smiles" are familiar with a narrow range of gender relations and sexual practices in Thailand, from the fanciful portrayal of 19th-century harem life in The King and I, to recent media coverage of sex tourism and AIDS. Yet serious study of patterns of sexuality, femininity, and masculinity in Thailand is relatively new. This book is a rare collection by scholars from around the world and across social disciplines who are tackling these issues. The essays urge the reader to look beyond fantasies of Thailand as an "oriental sexual paradise" or "land of sexploitation" to historical and contemporary forms of gender and eroticism. Studies of the changing opinions and practices among villagers and urbanites, the creative expressions of novelists and aristocrats, and the concerns of early women's magazines and recent AIDS-prevention campaigns, reveal the extraordinary diversity of debates about gender and sexual issues in 20th-century Thailand. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xi [1], 2-289 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Good

Queer Iberia : Sexualities, Cultures, and Crossings from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance

Durham [NC], Duke University Press, 1999. orig.cloth. 24x16cm, viii,478 pp.. A 2cm chip from front fixed flyleaf. Good.
¶ This is a collection of essays exploring ideologies and discourses that center on sexual otherness in medieval Iberian cultures. Martyred saints, Moors, Jews, viragoes, hermaphrodites, sodomites, kings, queens, and cross-dressers comprise the fascinating mosaic of historical and imaginative figures unearthed in "Queer Iberia". The essays in this volume describe and analyze the sexual diversity that proliferated during the period between the tenth and the sixteenth centuries when political hegemony in the region passed from Muslim to Christian hands.To show how sexual otherness is most evident at points of cultural conflict, the contributors use a variety of methodologies and perspectives and consider source materials that originated in Castilian, Latin, Arabic, Catalan, and Galician-Portuguese. Covering topics from the martydom of Pelagius to the exploits of the transgendered Catalina de Erauso, this volume is the first to provide a comprehensive historical examination of the relations among race, gender, sexuality, nation-building, colonialism, and imperial expansion in medieval and early modern Iberia. Some essays consider archival evidence of sexual otherness or evaluate the use of 'deviance' as a marker for cultural and racial difference, while others explore both male and female homoeroticism as literary-aesthetic discourse or attempt to open up canonical texts to alternative readings.Positing a queerness intrinsic to Iberia's historical process and cultural identity..." - publisher's description.
