Abstract

This paper examines the complexities of human sexuality by challenging asumptions that have been built on binarism and biological-determinism. This attempt is done by examining the development of sexuality theory and studies from feminism to queer theory, through the lens of some theorists, from Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Jack Halberstam, to Sara Ahmed. In addition, the development of sexuality studies in Indonesia is also explored, in order to show a myriad of interactions and relations of knowledge between global and local. Queer theory also provides space to criticize the hegemony of existing ‘labels’ which are originated from the West, and also to show that the meaning and subjectivity shaped by these labels are not always fixed when they are transferred to Indonesian context. For above reasons, this paper introduces the theoretical concept of sex(t)uality—in which sexuality operates like text.

Abstract

As a relatively new field of study, queer studies is still underexamined in Indonesian gender and sexuality discourse and studies. In addition to its complexities, examining and teaching sexualities in university is often perceived as ‘taboo’ and ‘indecent’. This claim becomes an impedement for queer studies to expand its coverage in tertiary institutions. In order to mainstream queer studies to public and university students, as a guest lecturer in several universities in Indonesia, the author tried to invent a participatory approach which put greater emphasis on reflexivity experience of the students, while the lecturer becomes a facilitator to generate meaningful and active discussions with the students. This reflection paper is an attempt to summarize the strategy of teaching queer studies in tertiary institutions, based on the author’s own teaching experience.
