| Summary, etc | (Hi)Stories of Desire situates questions of sexuality in the larger domain where they are conditioned by and, in turn, also condition historically and culturally produced landscapes of being, doing, and desiring. The book draws upon multi-disciplinary frameworks of analysis - including history, anthropology, literary studies, queer studies and psychoanalysis - to provide a pan-Indian account of the making of sexual cultures. Based on original research, the chapters foreground sexuality as a significant site for the making of regional, national and personal modernities. The volume addresses the modern paradox where sexuality is assigned a central significance in human life and yet its study tends to remain unconnected from the political, religious, social and economic contexts that produce human subjectivity. It will be of interest to a wide range of readership, opening up the topic to complex yet accessible ways of understanding the culture of sexualities and the sexuality of culture.<br/><br/>1. The essays in this volume take into consideration multiple paradigms of analysis required for an understanding of sexuality<br/>2. Presents a pan-Indian panorama of experiences and discourses of sexuality; the introduction theorises the volume in light of other works and provides a rich reading experience<br/>3. Attempts to move away from standard postcolonial assumptions regarding sexuality and modernity in the Indian context |
