Queering Tribal Folktales from East and Northeast India

This book explores queer potentialities in the tribal folktales of India. It elucidates the queer elements in the oral narratives of four indigenous communities from East and Northeast India, which are found to be significant repositories of gender fluidity and non-normative desires. Departing from the popular understanding that ‘Otherness’ results largely from undue exposure to Western permissiveness, the author reveals how minority sexualities actually have their roots in aboriginal indigenous cultures and do not necessarily constitute a mimicry of the West. The volume endeavours to demystify the politics behind such vindictive propagation to sensitize the queerphobic mainstream about the essential endogenous presence of the queer in the spaces that are aboriginal.Based on extensive interdisciplinary research, this book is a first of its kind in the study of indigenous queer narratives. It will be useful to scholars and researchers of queer studies, gender studies, tribal and indigenous studies, literature, cultural studies, postcolonialism, sociology, political studies and South Asian studies.

This book analyses regional expressions of the queer experience in texts available in the Indian vernacular languages. It studies queer autobiographies and literary and cinematic texts written in the vernacular languages on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues. The authors outline the specific terms that are popular in the bhashas (languages) to refer to the queer people and discuss any neo coinages/modes of communication invented by the queer people themselves. The volume also addresses the lack of queer representation in certain language communities and the lack of queer interaction in non-metropolitan cities in India.
An important contribution to the field of queer studies in India, this timely book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of gender studies, queer studies, cultural studies, discrimination and exclusion studies, language studies, political studies, sociology, postcolonial studies and South Asian studies.

Abrasive, Soft and Ecological
Masculinities in North India

PDF, Engelska, 2026

Läs direkt efter köp
The book in an innovative way interconnects theology, media and politics in order to understand masculinity in terms of everydayness, virtual circulations, cinematic projections, musical ramifications and political assertions. It not only opposes toxic Indian masculinity, but also counterposes the vulnerable masculinities of feminine men and proposes reviving ecomasculinity and such other habitable masculinities. The book tries to understand abrasive masculinity as a muscular mentality that drives Indian men to act in certain stereotyped ways.Beginning with the anxiety of intimacy that an abrasive muscular mentality creates in relation to Indian men's belongingness with those who are projected as Other-women and queer people-the volume tries to understand the theological roots of abrasive masculinity along with its routed mediatized avatars. Thereafter, it shifts its focus to the vulnerable masculinity of soft men who are victimized on account of their effeminacy. In an intersectional mode, the plight of both feminine cisgender and gay men is critically discerned. The book concludes with the counterculture of Indian YouTuber men who are detoxifying the mediatized Movement for Men's Rights in India, along with revisiting the ecomasculine folk culture of indigenous India. The author argues that in opposition to the culture of cancelling masculinity, a habitable masculinity may be unfolded in order to enhance the social habitability of individuals irrespective of their gender and sexuality. It deploys social media, film, music, literature, folk narratives and personal interviews as a means of interconnecting qualitative and quantitative methodologies.The book will be useful for students, researchers, and teachers from the fields of Gender Studies, Media Studies, Sociology and Cultural Studies. It will also appeal to those interested in the culture of masculinities in India.

This volume brings together eminent Tagore scholars and younger writers to revisit the concepts of nation, nationalism, identity and selfhood, civilization, culture and homeland in Tagore’s writings. As these ideas take up the centre-stage of politics in the subcontinent as also elsewhere in the world in the 21st century, it becomes extremely relevant to revisit his works in this context. Tagore’s ambivalence towards nationalism as an ideology was apparent in the responses in his discussions with Indians and non-Indians alike. Tagore developed the concept of ‘syncretic’ civilization as a basis of nationalist civilizational unity, where society was central, unlike the European model of state-centric civilization. However, as the subterranean tensions of communalism became clear in the early 20th century, Tagore reflexively critiqued his own political position in society. He thus emerged as the critic of the nation/nation-state and in this he shared his deep unease with other thinkers like Romain Rolland and Albert Einstein. This volume for the first time covers the socio-political, historical, literary and cultural concerns relating to Tagore’s efforts towards the 'de-colonization' of the Self. The volume begins with various perspectives on Tagore’s ‘ambivalence’ about nationalism. It encompasses critical examinations of Tagore’s literary works and other art forms as well as adaptations of his works on film. It also reads Tagore’s nationalism in a comparative mode with contemporary thinkers in India and abroad who were engaged in similar debates.

Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book focuses on the plight of the queer people in rural India. By examining how rural life shapes queer identities, the book offers a fresh perspective that bridges the gap between urban and rural queer communities. While on one hand, it elucidates the various ways in which people living in the Indian villages deal with the queer subjects and subjectivities, on the other hand, it explores the ways in which the process of growing up in the countryside makes its impact on its village queers. Drawing from personal experiences, ethnographic research, and cultural representations, this multidisciplinary book explores the intersection of gender, sexuality, and rural landscapes. It delves into the historical and cultural forces that influence the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, and transgender individuals in provincial India. The collaborative effort by activists and scholars across fields such as literary studies, gender studies, political science, and more provides a rich analysis of the rural queer experience. It challenges the urban-centric narrative and contributes significantly to gender and sexuality studies, sociology, cultural studies, and subaltern studies.
