(Sub)alternating Imperia?: Law, Justice and Gender/Sexual Politics in Pakistan and Indonesia

Hamzić, Vanja

Abstract

This paper seeks to highlight some of the meanings and shapes that the concepts of law and justice take amongst contemporary sexually and/or gender-variant Muslim subjectivities in Pakistan and Indonesia. In doing so, it argues for a new, critical approach in postcolonial theory, mindful, in the first place, of its past mishaps in analysing religious and cultural intersections with gender/sexual human experience.
