Shanghai Lalas : Female Tongzhi Communities and Politics in Urban China  / 

Lucetta Yip Lo Kam.Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, 2013 - x, 142 p.

resume: This is the first ethnographic study of lala (lesbian, bisexual, and transgender) communities and politics in China, focusing on the city of Shanghai. Based on several years of in-depth interviews, the volume concentrates on lalas' everyday struggle to reconcile same-sex desires with a dominant rhetoric of family harmony and compulsory marriage, all within a culture denying women active and legitimate sexual agency. Lucetta Yip Lo Kam reads discourses on homophobia in China, including the rhetoric of "Chinese tolerance," and considers the heteronormative demands imposed on tongzhi subjects. She treats "the politics of public correctness" as a newly emerging tongzhi practice developed from the culturally specific, Chinese forms of regulation that inform tongzhi survival strategies and self-identification. Alternating between Kam's own experiences with queer identity and her extensive ethnographic findings, this text offers a contemporary portrait of female tongzhi communities and politics in urban China, making an invaluable contribution to global discussions and international debates on same-sex intimacies, homophobia, coming-out politics, and sexual governance.

Desiring T, Desiring Self : "T-Style" Pop Singers and Lesbian Culture in China  / Lucetta Y. L. Kam.

Journal of Lesbian Studies, 18 (2014) 3 (jul-sep), p. 252-265
source: Journal of Lesbian Studies year: 18 (2014) 3 (jul-sep), p. 252-265
resume: This article examines an emerging group of "T-style" female singers in the popular music scene in China. The expression "T," which is developed from the term "tomboy," refers to lesbians with masculine gender style. It is a widely used form of identification in local lesbian communities in China. The emergence of "T-style" female singers coincided with the rapid development of local lesbian communities in major cities in China. By exploring the intersections?or mutual modeling - of "T-style" singers and local lesbian gender culture, this article also analyzes the different receptions of "T-style" singers by local lesbian women, and explores whether "T-style" singers are seen as a "cultural resource" that aids the construction of lesbian gender and sexual identities.

Negotiating Gender : Masculine Women in Hong Kong  / Lucetta Yip Lo Kam.

resume: The research project aims to provide a qualitative account of the life experiences and gender identifications of masculine women in Hong Kong. It is based on the life experiences of 18 women informants (aged from 21 to 48,all ethnically Chinese) who have been mistaken as males by other social members in local public. They are recruited to this project based on the shared experience of public gender mis-recognition. The term "masculine women" is made up by the researcher as an attempt to identify women with similar experiences or culturally recognised masculine attributes. Information about the informants is collected by individual in-depth interviews. The interactions between individual gender configurations of informants and different kinds of collective gender discourses prevalent in local society are studied. These include the ways informants apply to cope with everyday public or private gender scrutiny, to negotiate with mainstream gender discourses, and to construct alternatively of their gender identities. Special attention is paid to the following areas: the public labels and personal gender interpretations of masculine women; the popular gender discourses in Hong Kong; the gender negotiations of informants in various influential social interactions (family, school, workplace, courting relationship etc.) and with messages from the mass media. The study discovers that ideas about masculinity are usually transferred to the informants by their mothers during younger years. Paternal influences or modeling effects on gender style are less significant according to the experiences of many informants. Female masculine models in media, peer groups or some identity-based communities are found to be significant source of gender learning and social support to informants. In everyday life, informants negotiate with the social gender expectation by adopting culturally recognizable discourses to make sense of their gender styles and identifications. The dominant heterosexual gender framework is adopted by informants to conceptualize their genders, while, at the same time new discursive possibilities are invited by individual manipulations of the major framework. The very social existence of informants in this project is brought about by public mis-recognition. Their living experiences call for a new cultural and theoretical recognition of female genders beyond the binary categorization, and a revision of the position of women in the studies of masculinity in any given culture.

Coming out and going abroad: The chuguo mobility of queer women in China  / Lucetta Y. L. Kam.

Journal of Lesbian Studies, 24 (2020) 2 (apr-jun), p. 126-139
source: Journal of Lesbian Studies year: 24 (2020) 2 (apr-jun), p. 126-139
resume: This article is part of a research project that explores the movement of queer women (lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer identified) from China to Australia and other Western countries. The research is based on participant observation and interviews that were conducted in selected cities in China and Australia. This article centers on queer women's narratives and experiences of going abroad, chuguo. Economic and social transformations in China have given rise to a new class of mobile urbanites. Going abroad has become a preferred life plan for young elites and the single child generation from urban, middle-class family backgrounds. The author looks at how mobility, sexuality, and gender non-conformity are intertwined in queer women's crafting of their life aspirations, and how the normative aspiration of chuguo in contemporary China enables (and disables) new ways of living and being. Building on the author's previous theorization of the "politics of public correctness," it is argued that transnational mobility has become a new homonormative value, which interplays with the neoliberal desire to be a mobile cosmopolitan subject in post-socialist China.
