As Normal as Possible – Negotiating Sexuality and Gender in Mainland China and Hong Kong cover

In what ways does normativity produce possibilities and limitations for contemporary Chinese sexualities? What are the strategies of queer representation circulating in non-mainstream cultures in Hong Kong and China? The authors of the nine original and innovative essays presented here take a fresh look on Chinese sexuality's complexities.

This is the first sustained collection of writings by established and young scholars on how sexualities are negotiated in Hong Kong and China. It is innovative and exciting, providing grounded empirical fieldwork as well as critical applications from the wider fields of literary historical studies, public health, cultural and film studies. It demonstrates the study of Chinese sexuality and queer modernity in Asia as emergent fields emanating from many disciplines. -- Audrey Yue, University of Melbourne
