Papers by Rohit K Dasgupta
This book explores South Asian youth cultures and fashion across this region and its diasporas from a transnational perspective, revealing the changing landscapes of contemporary South Asian fashion.
Through visual and textual analysis of film, photography and digital cultures, as well as ethnographic fieldwork, the book looks at how gender, sexuality, class, the media and faith intersect. It challenges tendencies to homogenise the region's diverse cultural modernity by establishing the heterogenous nature of South Asia and its youth cultures.
This book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, especially men's and masculinity studies, queer and LGBT studies, media and cultural studies, particularly new media and digital culture, sexuality and identity, politics, sociology and social anthropology, and South Asian studies.

Recent scholarship in different disciplinary fields as well as activist literature have brought attention to the political possibilities within friendship. The essays, memoirs, poems, and artwork in Friendship as Social Justice Activism address these political possibilities within the context of gender, sexuality, and economic justice movements.
