{"product_id":"pakistan-desires-omar-kasmani-9781478025238","title":"Pakistan Desires: Queer Futures Elsewhere","description":"Drawing on history, anthropology, literature, law, art, film, and performance studies, the contributors to \u003ci\u003ePakistan Desires\u003c\/i\u003e invite reflection on what meanings adhere to queerness in Pakistan. They illustrate how amid conditions of straightness, desire can serve as a mode of queer future-making. Among other topics, the contributors analyze gender transgressive performances in Pakistani film, piety in the transgender rights movement, the use of Grindr among men, the exploration of homoerotic subject matter in contemporary Pakistani artist Anwar Saeed's work, and the story of a sixteenth-century Sufi saint who fell in love with a Brahmin boy. From Kashmir to the 1947 Partition to the resonances of South Asian gay subjectivity in the diaspora, the contributors attend to narrative and epistemological possibilities for queer lives and loves. By embracing forms of desire elsewhere, ones that cannot correlate to or often fall outside dominant Western theorizations of queerness, this volume gathers other ways of being queer in the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors.
