This book brings together perspectives on embodied queerness within the complicated parameters of hegemonic normativities, biopolitics and social-religious governmentalities. It offers queer interventions, explores value-production in socio-corporeal normative frameworks and exemplifies the complexity of queering in the global-local continuum.
