Another restrictive framework is the excessive importance ascribed to religion in everyday life. The result has been a rather narrow debate on sexuality. By providing accounts of the myriad sites and meanings of sexuality, this remarkable volume is designed to broaden the debate on sexuality in South Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e It combines perspectives from history, anthropology and cultural and literary studies to provide an interdisciplinary exploration of the cultures of, and the multiple meanings and contestations that gather around, masculinities and sexualities. The collection is unique in the breadth of its theoretical concerns; its focus on hitherto marginalized sexual identities; and its novel juxtapositions of analyses of colonial discourses with those of postcolonised modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The topics covered include: colonial constructions of sexuality; domesticity and homoeroticism; alternative gender and sexual identities in modern theatrical and literal traditions; ethnographies of urban sexual identities; sexuality, women, 'development' and the nation state; and filmic cultures, commodity cultures and the construction of masculine and sexual identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Widening our understanding of gender, power and modernity in the South Asian milieus, this volume will be of considerable interest to students and scholars in the fields of anthropology, gay and lesbian studies, gender studies, cultural studies, South Asian studies, history and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eSanjay Srivastava\u003c\/i\u003e, an anthropologist by training, is currently Associate Professor, in the School of Communications and Creative Arts, Deakin University, Melhourne, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"7\"\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Plates\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e1.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntroduction: Semen, History, Desire and Theory\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSanjay Srivastava\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e2.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColonial Aversions and Domestic Desires:\u003cbr\u003e Blood, Race, Sex and the Decline of Intimacy in Early British India\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSudipta Sen\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e49\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e3.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControlling the Ganymedes: The Colonial Gaze in J.R.
