Description
This is the first book in English to analyse the
stunning rise of cultures of dissident sexuality in Taiwan during the 1990s. It
approaches the queer sexualities represented in recent Taiwanese fiction, film
and public culture as dynamic formations that combine local knowledge with
globalizing discourses on gay and lesbian identity to produce sexualities that
are multiple, shifting and inherently hybrid. The book challenges the
Eurocentrism of much queer theory to date. Consistently critical of
essentializing accounts of 『Chinese』 culture, it highlights some of the
important ways in which Taiwanese formations of dissident sexuality differ from
the familiar Euro-American formations.
