{"product_id":"un-familiar-femininities","title":"(Un)Familiar Femininities","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe female homosexual in South Asia is not always a visible lesbian person. She is often a figuration of an act that challenges  hegemonic ideas of gender and female subjectivity. This lesbian femininity can be found in many socio-cultural conversations, defamiliarizing and subverting normative ideas of female monogamy, compulsory motherhood, asexuality, celibacy, and compliance. A nuanced reading of contemporary literary and cinematic texts\n\u003cbr\u003efrom India and its diaspora, this work traces the histories of the 'un(familiar)' lesbian in the homophobic realm around us. Focusing on  representations and legacies of such femininities, the author\n\u003cbr\u003eshows how female same-sex socialities and  female same-sex love straddle  terrains both familiar and unfamiliar, arguing that homosexuality and heterosexuality are not in  opposition but in a state of constant dialogue with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46060939968750,"sku":"9780199454914","price":59.33,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199454914.jpg?v=1736524527","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/un-familiar-femininities","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
