Sexualities
Bodies
on the Verge of a Nation
 In
February 2005, San Diego State University Press will finally issue an anthology
called "Bordered Sexualities." It includes brief, tightly focused essays
that specifically address the aesthetic, cultural, and anthropological
singularities of sexual phenomena born along the line dividing and defining
the United States of America y los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Contributors
include Carlos Fuentes, Marisela Norte, Oliver Mayer, Jorge Huerta, Gilbert
Hernandez, and many others. These borderlands are vibrant cultural zones
of conflict and exchange--border denizens live both "on the verge" and
"IN the verge"-- this volume specifically examines sexually charged aspects
of this singular space. Bordered Sexualities
features critical essays on works of literature, photography, and film
AND radical examples of literature, photography and film from these borderlands.
In short, "Bordered Sexualities" both EMBODIES and ANALYZES erotic
mestiza media. Bordered Sexualities
bridges SDSU Press's CODE[X]
line
of critical theory volumes and our surTEXT
line of U.S.-Mexican border cultural studies. In addition, the book reflects
our desire to appeal to a growing need for lively, dynamic texts for undergraduate
and graduate students in Women's Studies, Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies,
and Area Studies in general. Bordered Sexualities is tentatively scheduled
to appear October 2002 and will be published simultaneously as a standard
trade paperback book and electronically on the WWWeb at ElectricINK
,
the SDSU Press online book gallery.
