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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shi-Yan Chao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 946298803X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462988033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Shi-Yan Chao","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46451109560575,"sku":"9789462988033","price":177.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fecd6d90-54a4-4949-a42d-6f4d15413033.jpg?v=1735876465","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queer-representations-in-chinese-language-film-shi-yan-chao-9789462988033","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
