Abstract

Research Article| October 01 2018 The Queer Turn in South Asian Studies? or “That’s Over & Done Queen, On to the Next” Brian A. Horton Brian A. Horton Brian A. Horton is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Anthropology at Brown University. Horton’s research explores several intersecting sites of inquiry among queer anthropology, queer theory and the anthropology of India: popular culture, politics and ethics, state power, pleasure, fun, and violence. His dissertation project, Shimmers of the Fabulous: Reinventions of Queer Life and Politics in Mumbai, draws on over two years of fieldwork in LGBTQ+ spaces in Mumbai to examine how gender and sexual minorities both within and beyond the formal registers of activist politics—at times in spaces thought of as elite, frivolous, or even nonrespectable (such as queer parties, cruising spots, and in virtual spaces)—deploy fun and pleasure to engage in different, but equally valuable ethical and political work.
