This book examines different forms and practices of queer media,
that is, the films, websites, zines, and film festivals produced
by, for, and about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer
(LGBTQ) people in China in the first two decades of the
twenty-first century. It traces how queer communities have emerged
in urban China and identifies the pivotal role that community media
have played in the process. It also explores how these media shape
community cultures and perform the role of social and cultural
activism in a country where queer identities have only recently
emerged and explicit forms of social activism are under serious
political constraints. Importantly, because queer media is 'niche'
and 'narrowcasting' rather than 'broadcasting' and 'mass
communication,' the subject compels a rethinking of some
often-taken-for-granted assumptions about how media relates to the
state, the market, and individuals. Overall, the book reveals a
great deal about queer communities and identities, queer activism,
and about media and social and political attitudes in China.
