Bordered
Sexualities
Bodies
on the Verge of
a Nation
edited
by William Anthony Nericcio
January 2017 will
witness the long-awaited and much
rumored appearance of Hyperbole
Books's anthology Bordered
Sexualities.
Bordered
Sexualities includes brief,
tightly-focused essays that
specifically address the aesthetic,
cultural, and anthropological
singularities
of sexual phenomena born along the
line dividing and
defining the
United
States of America y los Estados Unidos
Mexicanos. Contributors include
Carlos Fuentes, Marisela Norte, Oliver
Mayer, Jorge Huerta,
and others.
 Borderlands
are vibrant, cultural zones of
conflict
and exchange; border denizens live
both "on the verge" and "in the
verge" and this volume specifically
examines sexually-charged aspects of
this singular
space. Bordered Sexualities
features critical essays on works of
literature, photography, and film
AND radical examples of literature,
photography and film from these
borderlands.
In short, "Bordered
Sexualities" both EMBODIES and
ANALYZES erotic
mestiza media. Bordered Sexualities
bridges SDSU Press's CODE[X] line
of critical theory volumes and
the surTEXT
line of U.S.-Mexican border cultural
studies. In addition, the book
reflects
our desire to appeal to a growing need
for lively, dynamic texts for
undergraduate
and graduate students in Women's
Studies, Gender Studies, Ethnic
Studies,
and Area Studies in general.
