ABSTRACT
Coming into wide use in the latter half of the twentieth century, the term ‘globalisation’ might seem a rather shopworn buzzword by now. On one hand, the term can seem inadequate for engaging with the past, eliding colonial and other histories. On the other hand, it can seem inadequate for the future, rendered obsolete by internet-mediated connection, mass migration, environmental devastation, and political conflict. However, in this chapter I argue for the enduring relevance of ‘globalisation’ for understanding sexuality.
