Summary:
In this groundbreaking volume, Shinsuke Eguchi and Bernadette Marie Caiafell expand the field of queer studies to consider cultural difference and how it affect everyday communication across the globe. These authoritative essays from both established and emerging scholars bring us cases of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people across race, ethnicity, gender, culture, nation, and body. Intercultural communication has not traditionally focused extensively on the topics of sexuality or LGBTQ politics. Rather, the field has repeatedly studied cultures and cultural differences without their connections to sexuality or LGBTQ politics. Using theories and methods from anthropology, women's studies, LGBTQ and sexuality studies, and communication studies, Queer intercultural Communication provides new tools for the theory, research, and teaching of the ways in which gender, sexuality, and culture intersect. The book focuses on nonwhite middle- to upper-class genders and sexualities as a way of adding LGBTQ studies to intercultural communication studies and allowing for connections to be made between the local, national, and transnational processes of communication. Eguchi and Carafe encourage readers to approach the field of queer intercultural communication as a necessary, relevant and exciting area of communication research and teaching. Book jacket.
