Transnational Sexualities in One Place: Indonesian Readings

Abstract

The term “transnational sexualities” has come into use to move beyond the limited and simplistic dichotomy of local-global. The term “local-global” in relation to sexualities suggests the difference between traditional or oppressed sexualities and a Western-defined liberated gay-ness (Manalansan 1997). “Transnational” in contrast points to the lines that crosscut the binary; it suggests that the “global” and “local” thoroughly infiltrate each other (Grewal and Kaplan 1994). “Transnational sexualities” insists on the recognition that particular genders and sexualities are shaped by a large number of processes implicated in globalization, including capitalism, diasporic movements, political economies of state, and the disjunctive flow of meanings produced across these sites.
