Apocalyptic Everyday
This essay approaches queer theory's much-debated object, futurity, through ethnographic encounters with kotis in eastern India that keep thwarting queer theory's attempts to mine minoritized subjects’ lives for pedagogic moments of resistance. The author had started fieldwork with the question of how the memories of the dead circulated in koti communities, but with time, they observed how accounts of violent deaths often descended into laughter.…
The broken others of the nation state
Pakistan Desires
On Emancipatory Potentials of a Virus
Legalizing Sex joins an ever-expanding body of literature on the gender and sexuality rights movements of South Asia and their contested negotiations with the nation-state. Deploying participant observation and in-depth interviews with policy makers, activists, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and community-based organizations (CBOs) across several Indian cities, conducted sporadically between 2007 and 2015, and discourse analysis of legal d…
Inhabiting the state subjunctively
The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, while addressing the United Nations General Assembly on 26 September 2020, stated that India had introduced legal reforms to accord rights to transgender citizens. Even though there is not much material basis to these rights, transgender communities have been protesting against the state and at times negotiating with it to get laws that are more in alignment with their rights. In the wake of serialised de…
The Koti's Ghost
In 2001 a group of gay men and kotis (one of several terms used in India for feminine persons assigned male at birth, who may or may not identify as transfeminine) wrote a play titled Koti ki atma (Soul of the Koti), about a koti who dies of AIDS and returns as a ghost to prevent other kotis from having unprotected sex. This article investigates the sociopolitical context in which the play was written, analyzes its plot, and, most importantly, fo…
Imaginaries of a Vision
Gayatri Gopinath's first book, Impossible Desires, published under the Perverse Modernities series of Duke University Press, has become a foundational text in the fields of queer and feminist studies since its publication in 2005. In Impossible Desires, Gopinath problematized the masculinist and heteronormative foundations of studies of the diaspora and its relationship to the nation-state by eloquently demonstrating how these formations cohere a…
Feminist Interventions
This entry surveys feminist interventions under way across three major continents and demonstrates their lasting impacts on regional and urban development studies. Chalo Nagpur of South Asia, indigenous resistance of Latin America, and Feminist Africa together interrogate the monolingualism of academic feminisms, and complicate how we come to know the proverbial “Global South” amid the privileged locations of the “Global North.”
The Transgender Nation and its Margins
In a 2014 judgment, the Supreme Court of India affirmed the right of every Indian citizen to choose their gender identity regardless of gender affirmation surgery. Following this judgment, states across India have been constituting transgender welfare boards and the Indian government has approved the Transgender Persons’ (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2018 that is supposed to be the one law that will safeguard transgender individuals from any form …
