The Sinophone framework emphasises the diversity of
Chinese-speaking communities and cultures, and seeks to move beyond
a binary model of China and the West. Indeed, this strikingly
resembles attempts within the queer studies movement to challenge
the dimorphisms of sex and gender. Bringing together two areas of
study that tend to be marginalised within their home disciplines
Queer Sinophone Cultures innovatively advances both Sinophone
studies and queer studies. It not only examines film and literature
from Mainland China but expands its scope to encompass the
underrepresented 'Sinophone' world at large (in this case Taiwan,
Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and beyond). Further, where queer
studies in the U.S., Europe, and Australia often ignore non-Western
cultural phenomena, this book focuses squarely on Sinophone
queerness, providing fresh critical analyses of a range of topics
from works by the famous director Tsai Ming-Liang to the history of
same-sex soft-core pornography made by the renowned Shaw Brothers
Studios. By instigating a dialogue between Sinophone studies and
queer studies, this book will have broad appeal to students and
scholars of modern and contemporary China studies, particularly to
those interested in film, literature, media, and performance. It
will also be of great interest to those interested in queer studies
more broadly.
