DESCRIPTION
All civilisations develop preferred interpretations of the relationships between love, sexuality and family, privileging some of these relationships and marginalising others. The unit outlines western-based developments in and explanations of these relationships in a comparative exploration with a number of specific Asian socio-cultural examples. Theoretical debates on family and on sexual identity are examined to see how well they explain the social and cultural diversity encountered, as well as the changes currently taking place in these various societies. The unit also critically reviews the processes by which some western accounts continue to use notions of family and of sexuality to exoticise Asian social relations and values.
