This captivating book delves into the intricate portrayal of same-sex sexualities in a diverse array of post-apartheid South African cultural texts, drawing upon a rich local archive that encompasses recent fiction, drama, film, photography, and popular print culture. While firmly rooted in the specific context of post-apartheid South Africa, it also casts a global lens, exploring transnational connections and cultural flows.
The author employs the concept of restlessness to describe the unequal transmission of cultural tropes, political sentiments, ideas, ideologies, and representational modes across geographical boundaries, across time, and between genres. Through this lens, sexual cultures are presented as both deeply rooted and transcending national borders.
The author's central focus lies in examining how notions of race and gender, shaped by colonialism and apartheid, continue to play out in the present and shape the representation of sexualities. By exploring the interplay between these complex factors, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted dynamics that shape sexual identities and relationships in South Africa.
This interdisciplinary work serves as a valuable entry point into several fields of study, including transnationalism, literary and cultural studies, critical race theory, gender and sexuality studies, and African studies. Its broad scope and inclusion of a diverse range of textual genres extend its reach into visual culture, film and media studies, history, and politics. This book will captivate students and researchers alike, providing a rich and comprehensive exploration of the complex and evolving landscape of same-sex sexualities in post-apartheid South Africa and beyond.
