Building on recent work on empire, and taking contextual, socio-legal, comparative, and interdisciplinary approaches, it studies how activists and scholars engaged in queer theory projects can unwittingly advance imperial projects and how queer theory can itself show imperial ambitions. The authors - from five continents - delve into examples drawn from Bollywood cinema to California's 2008 marriage referendum. The chapters view a wide range of texts - from cultural productions to laws and judgments - as regulatory forces requiring scrutiny from outside Western, heterosexual privilege. This innovative collection goes beyond earlier queer legal work, engaging with recent developments, featuring case studies from India, South Africa, the US, Australasia, Eastern Europe, and embracing the frames offered by different disciplinary lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eQueer Theory: Law, Culture, Empire \u003c\/em\u003ewill be of particular interest to students and researchers in the fields of socio-legal studies, comparative law, law and gender\/sexuality, and law and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Leckey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415572282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415572286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Robert Leckey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064934805759,"sku":"9780415572286","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72130b38-c546-434f-997a-1cbdca23ddcc.jpg?v=1768672025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queer-theory-robert-leckey-9780415572286","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
