Year: 2010
Type: preprint
Abstract: The paper aims to explore and understand how individual non-heterosexual women live, challenge or ‘counter’ heteronormativity, especially in terms of ‘sexual identity formation’, in urban middle class Bangladesh through their personal narratives. It inquires how women, of this particular class, in their lives define, assert and practice their own sexuality and sexual identity- which includes constant process of negotiation, bargain, manipulation, conciliation, and strategies.
