This book brings together a group of innovative scholars examining the contemporary issue of effecting gender and sexuality justice in the context of Asia, consonant with engendering a just, equitable and sustainable development for all. These grassroots initiatives are woven through three complementary sections of the book: gender justice in Asia, sexuality justice in Asia, and finding resolutions through conflict. The book foregrounds strategies that aim to call out and challenge existing gender and sexuality injustices with regard to women and the LGBTIQA+ community by: assessing the efficacy of gender mainstreaming policies through micro-credit schemes for women in East Java, Indonesia; proliferating the signifiers of the hijab (veil) by postmodern Malay-Muslim women or ‘Hijabistas’ within the consumerist culture of Malaysia; making visible the injustices of the Syariah legal system for non-Muslim women, and ground-breaking legislation that could potentially recognise same-sex marriages in Thailand; privileging the narratives of gay women diplomats within the highly masculinised field of diplomacy in the Asia-Pacific region; foregrounding the narratives of Filipino gay men, intimate partner violence among young Indonesian Christian young people, masculine-identifying lesbians in Singapore, young LGBT people in rural Vietnam, and a Chinese-Muslim Malaysian female-to-male transgender person; and proposing new ways of becoming an inclusive church through the radical act of befriending persons living with HIV and AIDS in Southeast Asia. This book celebrates diverse and inclusive voices and strategies of gender and sexual agents of change in envisioning and bringing to fruition a just and transformative society for all. It is of interest to students and scholars researching gender and sexuality in areas of development studies, international relations, socio-legal studies, and literary studies.

"Combining practical design strategies with urban theory, She City explores how gender inequity is materialized in cities worldwide, providing an activist toolkit for architects and urban designers to challenge gender bias, sexual harassment, and violence against women through their designs. Part I provides a contemporary survey of the current state of gender inequity in cities, revealing how one's gender impacts mobility, safety, and the ability to occupy public space. Focussing on the intersectional experiences of women and girls in the urban domain, this eye-opening theoretical groundwork exposes the impact of gender stereotypes and systemic power dynamics as they intersect with the architectural and urban fabric. Part II moves from theory to practice, examining a range of contemporary case studies - from positioning benches in public spaces to large-scale projects ensuring safety for sex workers - to show how better urban design can positively challenge gender inequity. Case studies are global - including New York, New Orleans, London, Zurich, Delhi, Cairo, Tokyo, and Bangkok - and range from collaborative co-designs with local women and girls, through to cutting-edge urban designs which actively contribute to women's access, security, and empowerment in the city. Case studies are critiqued and evaluated, to show what works and why, and to provide innovative and thought-provoking ideas for the designer wishing to make a positive impact"--

Grace Lavery reconsiders the seven-decade history of the American sitcom to show how its reliance on crisis and resolution in each episode creates doubts and ambivalence that depicts heterosexuality as constantly on the verge of collapse and reconstitution.

"Closures surveys the seven-decade history of the American sitcom from the perspective of trans theory. With detailed close readings of shows from The Mary Tyler Moore Show to Who's the Boss to Third Rock from the Sun, Friends, BoJack Horseman, The Office, and others, Grace E. Lavery highlights the centrality of the blended family narrative that situates the family as a perpetually incomplete project as well as the weakening of social ties as the sitcom evolves from a family setting to a friendship group to a workplace setting. The book's title refers to how episodic narrative closure in the serialized sitcom paradoxically requires a continual reopening of the stable family, disrupting the traditional finality of the comedic marriage plot. In this way, the sitcom character, operating in a situation of endless becoming, is rendered structurally trans"--

Dans cet ouvrage majeur publié en 1990 aux États-Unis, la philosophe Judith Butler invite à penser le trouble qui perturbe le genre pour définir une politique féministe sans le fondement d'une identité stable. Ce livre désormais classique pour les recherches sur le genre, aussi bien que les études gaies et lesbiennes, est au principe de la théorie et de la politique queer : non pas solidifier la communauté d'une contre-culture, mais bousculer l'hétérosexualité obligatoire en la dénaturalisant. Il ne s'agit pas d'inversion, mais de subversion. Judith Butler localise les failles qui manifestent à la marge le dérèglement plus général de ce régime de pouvoir. En même temps, elle soumet à la question les injonctions normatives qui constituent les sujets sexuels. Jamais nous ne parvenons à nous conformer tout à fait aux normes : entre genre et sexualité, il y a toujours du jeu. Le pouvoir ne se contente pas de réprimer; il ouvre en retour, dans ce jeu performatif, la possibilité d'inventer de nouvelles formations du sujet. La philosophe relit Michel Foucault, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan et Claude Lévi-Strauss, mais aussi Simone de Beauvoir, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva et Monique Wittig, afin de penser, avec et contre eux, sexe, genre et sexualité - nos désirs et nos plaisirs. Pour jeter le trouble dans la pensée, Judith Butler donne à voir le trouble qui est déjà dans nos vies.
