Zusatztext "In revealing the richness and contestability of gender and sexuality in Indonesia Murtagh's book is a triumph."-Sharyn Graham Davies! Auckland University of Technology"...I strongly urge you! dear reader! to enjoy this text yourself. We are now in an era where the study of internet technologies! particularly social media (like Facebook) and smartphones! has moved to centre stage. This is appropriate (and reflected in my own research) but it behooves us to remember that the earlier technologies of film and television remain incredibly relevant. They shaped the historical context of current digital cultures in Indonesia and beyond! and have moved into those cultures as key content to be viewed! circulated and commented upon. It is precisely in such times of transformation that historical context is so important.GSIC will take a well-deserved place as a canonical analysis of gay! lesbi and waria-related cinema in modern Indonesia. We cannot understand contemporary Indonesia without the insights Murtagh provides."Tom BoellstorffAsian Journal of Social Science 43 (2015) 515-531 Informationen zum Autor Ben Murtagh is Senior Lecturer in Indonesian and Malay at SOAS, University of London and managing editor of the journal Indonesia and the Malay World.
