The Globalization of Sexuality

by Jon Binnie

Overview

Binnie (environmental and geographic sciences, Manchester Metropolitan U., UK) provides a queer perspective on the neglected topic of the relationship between sexuality, nationalism, and globalization. In eight thematic chapters, he discusses such topics as sexualized discourses about competitiveness between cities requiring purified space, the heteronormativity of post-colonial criticism and universal gay rights discourse, the queer politics of migration and tourism, the role of AIDs in accelerating awareness of a global sense of space, and the distinction between cosmopolitanism and provincialism in the context of queer consumption practices.
