Summary
"This book explores the everyday lives of gay men in Hainan, an island province of the Peoples Republic of China. Taking an ethnographic and phenomenological approach, it asks how these men construct and experience ways of sexual being as gay, homosexual, tongzhi and/or in the scene and what these mean for the ways of living they see as possible within a socio-cultural, political and material context characterised by pervasive heteronormativity. It explores what it means for gay men in Hainan to come into the scene, how internet and mobile technologies figure in their everyday processes of sexual categorisation and how these men negotiate orientations and disorientations towards the future in relation to dominant heterosexual life scripts of marriage and reproduction. This book offers vital insights into the production and restriction of non-heterosexual lives in diverse settings, while addressing universal questions of how certain ways of living are enabled and curtailed in living together with others through powerful conditions of uncertainty and precarity. This book will be of interest to scholars in LGBTQ studies, particularly those with a focus on same-sex intimacies and identities in China."James Cummings is a Lecturer in Sociology in the Department of Sociology at the University of York, UK. .
