Details:
This book explores the representation of non-normative sexualities in Indian cinema, photography, and literature. While queer artistic expressions exist, transgender representation—especially of hijras—remains scarce. The first part of the book examines transgender lives through cinema and photography, addressing complex themes like necropolitics, pansexuality, transfeminism, and transmisogyny. The second part delves into contemporary gay and lesbian literature, highlighting India's unique queer spatial experiences that differ from Western "coming out" narratives. Through an in-depth analysis of queer geographies, SRS (sex reassignment surgery), and AIDS citizenship, this book emphasizes the role of art in queer politics and emancipation.
