The Gay Archipelago is the first book-length exploration of the lives of gay men in Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous nation and home to more Muslims than any other country. Based on a range of field methods, it explores how Indonesian gay and lesbian identities are shaped by nationalism and globalization. Yet the case of gay and lesbian Indonesians also compels us to ask more fundamental questions about how we decide when two things are "the same" or "different." The book thus examines the possibilities of an "archipelagic" perspective on sameness and difference.
Tom Boellstorff examines the history of homosexuality in Indonesia, and then turns to how gay and lesbian identities are lived in everyday Indonesian life, from questions of love, desire, and romance to the places where gay men and lesbian women meet. He also explores the roles of mass media, the state, and marriage in gay and lesbian identities.
The Gay Archipelago is unusual in taking the whole nation-state of Indonesia as its subject, rather than the ethnic groups usually studied by anthropologists. It is by looking at the nation in cultural terms, not just political terms, that identities like those of gay and lesbian Indonesians become visible and understandable. In doing so, this book addresses questions of sexuality, mass media, nationalism, and modernity with implications throughout Southeast Asia and beyond.
没想到这本书的第一部分贯穿始终的理论是Steiner的After Babel,虽然论证中的理论和例子总觉得脱节,但关于dubbing作为一种没有完成的翻译,还是很有趣的诠释。读完了,十分困惑,我读完了还是没懂在nation和gay and lesbi之间,他到底证明了什么?
评分力荐,同志群岛是一个全球化海洋中的独特隐喻,提供了无数值得进一步探讨的问题。之前看到有人把此书和国内一本关于东北某市的人类学观察并论,实话实说差得太远
评分酷儿理论和人类学交融完美的作品,尤其是对Gay和Lesbi这两个概念的分析真是太厉害了。看了一下作者本人的照片我非常可以!!
