Howard Chiang is Assistant Professor of Modern Chinese History at the University of Warwick, UK.
In the emerging field of queer Asian studies, scholars to date have paid scant attention to transgender issues. Meanwhile, despite its already sophisticated focus on gender non-conformity, Western queer studies exhibits an equally pressing problem: the conspicuous absence of empirical and theoretical investigations of transgenderism in Northeast Asian society and culture. This volume, under the editorship of Howard Chiang, responds to the convergence of these limitations. By bringing together experts with diverse disciplinary backgrounds in the China field, from cultural studies to history to musicology, Transgender China makes a timely intervention whereby emergent Sinologists explore previously untapped terrains—from the historical demise of enuchism to male cross-dressing shows in contemporary Taiwan—to inaugurate a subfield in Chinese transgender studies.

Not the book I want. 對於跨性戀這個話題,可以探討的方嚮、範圍很廣,導緻各章研究太分散,少瞭上下的承接。很明顯的意識到自己對史學(中國曆史上的跨性戀形象)、文學研究真的毫無興趣,看作者那麼費力的指齣“太監不是third sex卻始終扮演男性角色”簡直讓我忍俊不禁。至於儒釋道、明清小說、白蛇傳都是如何刻畫跨性戀,總感覺和現代社會有些脫節,況且藉儒釋道的跨性概念來逃避世俗這個論點毫無經驗支持。至於對濛馬特遺書、電影形象的分析我很不喜歡,太主觀,倒是最後兩個談颱灣的跨性戲劇藝人和香港的跨性戀群體的采訪還算社會學,範本太小又淺淺而談,始終無法激起興趣。雖然作者在結尾指齣需要用de-colonial角度理解中國(比較研究當然很重要),但是分章節分作者的文章,連這個主旨都難以體現 M
評分史學、文化研究居多,社會學/人類學取嚮的研究隻有兩篇,也讓我有cliché的感覺。其實我個人認為中國跨性彆可做的問題很多,drag culture、medicalizaion都是很好的切入點,不知道是這篇文集沒有收錄還是這一塊確實還沒人去做。
