South Asia
Bibliografia orientativa e strumenti di ricerca nel web
a cura di
Jolanda Guardi
Dallinizio degli anni 90 a oggi, i riferimenti bibliografici per chi desidera oc-
cuparsi di studi queer in generale e nei paesi oggetto del presente numero sono
orami molto numerosi. In questa sede vengono segnalati solamente quelli conside-
rati essenziali per una visione dinsieme.
Lo stesso a maggior ragione per quanto riguarda la filmografia e la sitografia; le
indicazioni sono di carattere orientativo per chi volesse cominciare un percorso di
ricerca in questo senso.
