New book
LGBTQ Digital Cultures
A Global Perspective
Edited By Paromita Pain


Book Description

Emphasizing an intersectional and transnational approach, this 
collection examines how social media and digital technologies have 
impacted the sphere of LGBTQ activism, advocacy, education, empowerment, 
identity, protest, and self-expression.

This edited collection adopts a critical and cultural studies 
perspective to examine queer cyberculture and presence. Through the lens 
of representation and identity politics, it explores topics such as 
race, disability, and colonialism, alongside sexuality and gender. The 
collection examines how digital technologies have made queer cultural 
production more expansive and how such technological affordances and 
platforms have enabled queer cultural practices to be more 
transformational. Bringing together contributors and case studies from 
different countries, the contributions grapple with the tensions that 
arise when visibility, hiddenness, renditions of the self, and 
collective contractions of identity must be negotiated in a variety of 
global contexts and explores this influence on contemporary political 
identities.

This book provides an essential introduction to LGBTQ digital cultures 
for students, researchers, and scholars of media, communication, and 
cultural studies. It will also be of interest to activists wanting to 
learn more about the transformative potential of digital media and 
technology in LGBTQ advocacy and empowerment around the globe.
