Sexuality and Translation in World Politics
Edited by Caroline Cottet, Editor, E-International Relations
Manuela Lavinas Picq, Editor, Amherst College
This textbook explores how terms such as LGBT and queer cross borders they evolve and adjust to different political thinking. Queer became kvir in Kyrgyzstan and cuir in Ecuador, neither of which hold the English meaning. Translation is about crossing borders, but some languages travel more than others. Sexualities are usually translated from the core to the periphery, imposing Western LGBT identities onto the rest of the world. Many sexual identities are not translatable into English, and markers of modernity override native terminologies.
