英文摘要 | This paper examines the politics of representing male homosexuality in Chinese cinemas. With such recent, high profile Chinese films as The Wedding Banquet and Farewell My Concubine featuring male homosexuality, scholars and critics have raised issues relating to the cultural politics of representing homosexuality, including the contestation of stereotypes, the politics of coming out, the politics of sexuality, race, gender, and class. This paper stresses the importance of reading films in their specific historical and cultural contexts and not blindly imposing western concepts and practices on the discussion of Chinese cinemas. Finally, drawing comparisons with the experiences and political struggles of other minority groups and subalterns in relation to cultural representation, it calls for a recognition of identity as invariably multi-faceted and for greater inter-representation between different groups, minority or otherwise. |
