It examines the deployment of sexuality over the past five decades in Taiwan by paying particular attention to male homosexuality and prostitution. In addition to literary and film material, the study engages a number of relevant legal cases and media reports. Through Hans Huang's primary research and historical investigations, the book not only illuminates the construction of gendered sexual identities in Taiwanese culture but also, in a reflexive fashion, critiques the culture that produces them.Queer Asia.Gay peopleTaiwanGay people in literatureQueer theoryPolitical aspectsTaiwanMale homosexualityPolitical aspectsTaiwanFeminismPolitical aspectsTaiwanGay peopleGay people in literature.Queer theoryPolitical aspectsMale homosexualityPolitical aspectsFeminismPolitical aspects306.7660951249Huang Hans Tao-Ming1510768MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781532203321Queer politics and sexual modernity in Taiwan3743619UNINA
