Elaine Jeffreys explores the issues of sex and sexuality in a
non-Western context by examining debates surrounding the emergence
of new sexual behaviours, and the appropriate nature of their
regulation, in the People's Republic of China. Commissioned from
Western and mainland Chinese scholars of sex and sexuality in
China, the chapters in this volume are marked by a diversity of
subject material and theoretical perspectives, but turn on three
related concerns. First, the book situates China s changing sexual
culture and the nature of its governance in the socio-political
history of the PRC. Second, it shows how China s shift to a rule of
law has generated conflicting conceptions of citizenship and the
associated rights of individuals as sexual citizens. Finally, the
book demonstrates that the Chinese state does not operate strictly
to repress sex; it also is implicated in the creation of new spaces
for sexual entrepreneurship, expertise and consumption.
This comprehensive study is a valuable resource for scholars in
the fields of sexuality studies and post-socialist societies and
culture, directly appealing to both East Asia and China
specialists.
