Lusosex: Gender and Sexuality in the Portuguese-Speaking World is the first volume to focus on the connections between nationhood, sex and gender in the Luso-phone, or Portuguese-speaking, world. Lusosex is edited by Susan Canty Quinlan, associate professor of Portuguese--who’s also affiliated with the women’s studies program at UGA--and Fernando Arenas, associate professor of Portuguese studies at the University of Minnesota.
Chapters take up questions of queer performativity and activism, female subjectivity and erotic desire, the sexual customs of indigenous versus European Brazilians and the impact of popular music (as represented by Caetano Veloso and others) on interpretations of gender and sexuality.
Challenging static notions of sexualities within the Portuguese-speaking world, these essays expand readers’ understanding of the multiplicity of differences and margina-lized subjectivities that fall under the intersections of sexuality, gender and race. |
