Mages of Manhood asks the question: How have gay/queer men in Southeast Asia used images of paradise to construct homes for themselves and for the different ideas of manhood they represent? Thebook examines how three gay men in Bali, Bangkok, and Singapore have deployed differentideas of "paradise" over the past century to create a sense of refuge and to dissent from typical notions of manhood and masculinity. For thedisciplines of queer studies, gender studies, communication, and Southeast Asian studies, it provides (1) a "queer reading" of Walter Spies, a gay German painter who in the 1930s helped turned Bali into an islandimagined as an ideal male aesthetic state; (2) a historicalaccount ofthe absorption of Western notions of romantic heterosexual monogamy inThailand during thereign of King Rama VI, providing an analysis of his plays, and the subsequent resistance to those notions expressed through an erotic, architectural paradise called Babylon created by a post-World War II Thai named Khun Toc; and (3) an account and analysis of the"cyber-paradise" created by a young Singaporean named Stuart Koe. The book examines their pursuit of sexual justice, the ideologies of manhood they challenged, the different types of gay spaces they created (geographic, architectural, online), and the political obstacles they have encountered. Because of its historical sweep and its focus on the relationship between gay men and ideas of Edenic space, it makes an importantcontribution to understanding gay/queer life in Southeast Asia.
