Queer Representations in Chinese-language Film and the Cultural
Landscape provides a cultural history of queer representations in
Chinese-language film and media, negotiated by locally produced
knowledge, local cultural agency, and lived histories.
Incorporating a wide range of materials in both English and
Chinese, this interdisciplinary project investigates the processes
through which Chinese tongzhi/queer imaginaries are articulated,
focusing on four main themes: the Chinese familial system, Chinese
opera, camp aesthetic, and documentary impulse. Chao's discursive
analysis is rooted in and advances genealogical inquiries: a
non-essentialist intervention into the "Chinese" idea of filial
piety, a transcultural perspective on the contested genre of film
melodrama, a historical investigation of the local articulations of
mass camp and gay camp, and a transnational inquiry into the
different formats of documentary. This book is a must for anyone
exploring the cultural history of Chinese tongzhi/queer through the
lens of transcultural media.
