This book examines how gender and heterosexuality structure the
lived experiences of people in living apart together (LAT)
relationships in contemporary Chinese society. Using in-depth
interview data with Chinese LAT people of different ages, the
author explores why they live apart; how they construct and make
sense of their everyday family lives and negotiate their gender
roles; and how they experience intimacy while being physically
apart. This text sheds new insights on non-cohabitating intimate
partnerships by bringing together themes of gender, family,
intimacy, and relationality. Through looking at people's lived
experiences in LAT relationships, it argues that practices of
family and intimacy are closely implicated with doing gender, and
consequently, that gendered family lives and heterosexuality are
reconstructed, rather than deconstructed, in order to reclaim
conventional forms of family and gender norms in Chinese social,
historical and cultural contexts. This book will be of interest to
scholars across Gender and Sexuality Studies as well as Family
Studies, in addition to scholars of contemporary Chinese culture
and society.
