Description
Since 2015, I've been thinking about the notion of 'homocapitalism', which is intended to capture an emerging relation between the mainstream of LGBT movements in various parts of the world and the structures, processes and institutions of global capitalism. Readers of my work have raised questions about the relationship between homocapitalism and racial capitalism, to which we must also add caste capitalism. As such, we need to ask not only what happens to identity and capitalism in their enmeshment with one another, but also whether the nature of this enmeshment has to be theorised differently in different contexts. In other words, is the 'homo' in 'homocapitalism' like the 'racial' in 'racial capitalism' and the 'caste' in 'caste capitalism'?
