Queering China: Transnational Genders and Sexualities
A Bloomsbury Book Series
coedited by Hongwei Bao and Jamie J. Zhao
Queering China: Transnational Genders and Sexualities is the first academic book series to explore the queer nature and contours of China through a transnational and transcultural framework. Offering a critical, intellectual space for pioneering, creative scholarship, it makes critical interventions in contemporary societies, cultures, desires, and subjectivities in the Chinese-language sphere and an interconnected world.
The series understands a Chinese cultural world as being constituted and continually reshaped by both queer and normative discourses on gender, sexuality, language, nationality, class, and ethnicity. Meanwhile, it considers queer as both a form of nonheterosexual subjectivity and a boundary-transgressing, norm-defying analytical lens in transdisciplinary research.
Queering China hopes to bring together scholars of all career stages working at the intersections of contemporary Chinese and Sinophone studies, global and transnational studies, gender and sexuality studies, queer and feminist studies, media and cultural studies, among others. The series is dedicated to the critical examination of transcultural travels and transformations of Chinese gender and sexual cultures within and beyond a geopolitically defined China and Chineseness.
We welcome interdisciplinary, innovative research monographs and edited volumes in the broad field of humanities and social sciences. Authors are invited to explore topics on contemporary Chinese media, creative arts, popular culture, communities, social platforms and spaces, and social-political regulations and movements concerning gender and sexuality, especially their marginalized embodiments and manifestations, that have been shaped by global flows of information and capital, cross-border migration and activism, translingual communication and digital technologies.
