A Coincidence of Desires

""A Coincidence of Desires" responds to the imperative in queer studies to resituate the field's epistemology by asking new questions about the relations between language, religion, sexuality, knowledge, and time. Drawing on a host of 'coincidences' between queer studies and anthropology, and using his extensive ethnographic experience in Indonesia, Tom Boellstorff casts his case studies as theoretical meditations in compelling and unexpected ways."--Robyn Wiegman, Duke University
