Description
Summary:This article explores the terrains within which day-to-day sexualness and subjectivity are conceived, experienced and imagined visually. Photographic research conducted with people of transgender and men who have sex with men in West Bengal, India, explored sexualities as phenomenologically apprehended. This, in turn, offers some critical insights into the representation of male-to-male and trans-sexualities within HIV prevention work and within analysis of social change in India.
