It studies the obstacles gay men have faced in securing a voice as citizens, and how they used images of paradise in Bali, Bangkok, and Singapore to create a sense of refuge, construct homes for themselves, and dissent from typical notions of manhood and masculinity. For gender studies and Southeast Asian studies, it provides a 'queer reading' of Walter Spies, a gay German painter who in the 1930s helped turn Bali into an island imagined as an ideal male aesthetic state. Secondly, the book provides a historical account of the absorption of Western notions of romantic heterosexual monogamy in Thailand during the reign of King Rama VI and the resistance to those notions expressed through an architectural paradise called Babylon founded by a Thai known as Khun Toc. Finally, it describes the 'cyber-paradise' of Fridae.com created by a young Singaporean named Stuart Koe. Collectively, the study examines the pursuit of sexual justice, the ideologies of manhood they challenged, and the geographic and online spaces they created."--Publisher's website 000455328 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000455328 60000 $$aVajiravudh,$$cKing of Siam,$$d1881-1925. 000455328 60010 $$aSpies, Walter$$xInfluence. 000455328 60010 $$aKoe, Stuart,$$d1972-$$xInfluence. 000455328 60000 $$aKhun Toc$$xInfluence. 000455328 650_0 $$aGay men$$zSoutheast Asia$$xSocial conditions. 000455328 650_0 $$aHomosexuality and art. 000455328 650_0 $$aParadise in art. 000455328 650_0 $$aPlace (Philosophy) 000455328 650_0 $$aMale homosexuality$$zSoutheast Asia$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000455328 650_0 $$aMasculinity$$zSoutheast Asia$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000455328 651_0 $$aBali (Indonesia : Province)$$xIn art. 000455328 651_0 $$aBali Island (Indonesia)$$xSocial life and customs$$y20th century. 000455328 651_0 $$aThailand$$xCivilization$$xWestern influences. 000455328 651_0 $$aBangkok (Thailand)$$xSocial life and customs$$y20th century. 000455328 651_0 $$aSingapore$$xSocial life and customs. 000455328 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAtkins, Gary, 1949-$$tImagining gay paradise.$$dHong Kong : Hong Kong University Press ; Chiang Mai, Thailand : Silkworm Books ; London : Eurospan [distributor], 2012$$z9789888083237$$z9789888083244$$z9786162150364$$w(OCoLC)769547251 000455328 8520_ $$bacq 000455328 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000455328 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000455328 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=877736$$zOnline Access 000455328 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=877736$$zOnline Access 000455328 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:455328$$pGLOBAL_SET 000455328 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000455328 980__ $$aBIB 000455328 982__ $$aEbook 000455328 983__ $$aOnline
