Queer religious geographies? Qu(e)erying Indonesian Muslim selves
Emerging from two periods of fieldwork in Java, Indonesia, this article draws on participant observation and in-depth, semi-structured interviews to address the co-production of queer Muslim spaces and subjectivities through the everyday practices of queer Muslims. What do queer religious
geographies mean in this context? Approximations to this question are offered through an exploration of the lived realities of queer Indonesian Muslims who move between their queerness and religion engaging in commute and integration processes. By studying the domestic sphere, religious spaces
and participation in LGBTIQ-rights NGOs, I reflect on the possibility to conceptualize agency from within certain degrees of submission to norms.
