本篇论文旨在探讨1990 年代末期之后，台湾男女同志运动团体(gay/lesbian
sports groups)兴起的历史文化背景及其相关的身体政治、性别政治等议题。本篇论文从探讨中文里“同志运动”一辞的字义开始。“同志运动”向来是形容同志参与社会平权运动(gay
movement)而非身体、体育相关的运动(sports)。仔细推敲下，台湾男女同志运动团体缺乏学术关注及研究的原因可能是因为一般观念认为运动不是严肃具有政治性的活动。同时身为同志运动员和研究者，笔者试图替男女同志运动团体的“政治性”翻案，从2001 年彩虹运动会暨雷斯杯、2002 年雪梨同志世运会、2003 同志游行，都可以看到男女同志运动员参与同志运动(gay
movement)的足迹。
除了证明运动同志与同志运动之间的关系外，本篇论文将试图勾勒同志运动员的身体、性别、认同政治。这些不同的层面和以往现代运动(modern sport)所注重的疆界分野时而相背时而相符。相背的地方，比方现代运动严格区分生理性别、心理性别、性倾向、种族及国家而同志运动(gay/lesbian
sports)并未严格区分。相符之处，比方同志运动团体有时也替性别表现设限，如什么是可接受的女性化或男性化行为等等。藉着阅读分析这些身体、性别和认同政治，笔者冀望展现同志运动的复杂性。最后，笔者也将论证男女同志内在的身体、性别和认同政治如
何具有表演性(performativity)，如何可以被视为不同“做”同志运动(gay movement)的方式。

Abstract
In this thesis I am going to explore the
historical and cultural background of the emergence of the gay/lesbian sports
groups in
Taiwan
along with relevant body politics and gender politics of the participants since
late 1990s. The thesis begins with the etymology of the Chinese term “tongzhi yundong,” which has
mostly referred to the gay movement not physical sports. The trivialization of
gay/lesbian athletics is related with the general conceptions that “sports” is
not serious and apolitical. As both a participant and a researcher, I would
like to give counterarguments by giving evidences that gay/lesbian athletes do
involve themselves in the gay movement such as participating in the Rainbow
Games and Lesbian Championship in 2001, the Sydney Gay Games in 2002, and the
gay march in 2003.
In addition to demonstrate the correlations
between sporting gays and the gay movement, this thesis also aims to delineate
the unique body politics, gender politics and identity politics that
characterize gay/lesbian athletes. These various politics in some ways
challenge the boundary projects that are often affiliated with modern sport,
such as policed differentiation of sex, gender, sexuality, race, and
nationality etc.
Sometimes these politics conform to the heteronormative maintenance of norms, including acceptable
masculinity and femininity etc. By reading and interpreting these politics, the
researcher wants to demonstrate the complexity of gay/lesbian athletics.
Last but not least, the researcher will try to
disclose the interior performativity of the
gay/lesbian athletes and manifest how the body politics, gender politics and
the identity politics can be recognized as different forms of doing the gay
movement.
