Sodomy Law and the Limits of Subjectivation
Published By: CLC on eSS | Published Date: August, 30 , 2006Using ethnographies of persons situated in cruising spaces, this
paper argues that there are limits on the power of subjectivation that
section 377 bears; that one’s entry into sociality can occur through
practices of pleasure and through the erotic, rather than upon being
criminalised, and that power, and indeed the law, cannot be
understood to be internalized by an existing subject, but that power
and the law have more ambivalent effects on the formation of the
subject.
