In this episode, we talk with Ferdiansyah Thajib about his book <i><a
href="https://nyupress.org/9781479839339/enduring-otherwise/">Enduring
Otherwise: Muslim Queer and Trans Worldmaking in Indonesia</a></i>.
Drawing on ethnographic research in Aceh, Yogyakarta and Jakarta,
Ferdi explores how queer and trans Muslims build meaningful lives
within social, religious and political conditions that often
refuse them recognition. The conversation moves through
Indonesia’s shifting legal landscape, conservative religious
politics, Sharia law in Aceh and the everyday spaces where other
forms of life become possible – from trans-run hair salons to more
inclusive Islamic communities.<br>
<br>
Ferdi also discusses his approach to affective ethnography, the
influence of his own experience as a gay Muslim and the importance
of care, emotional labour and mutual support within activist
communities. Rather than reducing queer and trans life to either
victimhood or heroic resistance, Enduring Otherwise asks how
people live with contradiction, sustain relationships and make
worlds otherwise.<br>
