Liminal Intelligibility Among Chinese Young Gay Men in an Algorithmic Age
Recent scholarship has increasingly examined sexual minorities in critical algorithm studies but often neglects the effects of behaviourist algorithmic epistemology on queer people. This study addresses that gap by exploring how such epistemology shapes the intelligibility of queer users. Drawing on 65 semi-structured interviews with young gay men in China, we identify four strategies—puzzle solving, alternative storytelling, playful resonating a…

Older people's intention to use medical apps during the Covid-19 pandemic in China
Previous studies on older adults' intention to adopt medical apps during irregular circumstances like the COVID-19 outbreak are still in its infancy. In order to fill this knowledge gap, we developed a theoretical framework based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model and the Technology of Acceptance Model (TAM) to explain Chinese older people's willingness to use medical apps during the COVID-19 pandemic. We coll…
Family and queer temporality among Chinese young gay men
Based on life-history interviews conducted with Chinese young gay men, this research critically engages with the anti-family tendency in queer temporality studies. It identifies three forms of queer temporality among our informants - strategic delay, optimistic pursuit and queer passing-time - in relation to the emerging neo-Confucian familism in China, which, overall, suggests a 'yes-but-not-yet' queer youth temporality characterised by a combin…
Sociology of homosexuality in twenty-first-century China
This review provides a critical exploration of four key books in sociology of homosexuality published in mainland China since 2000, namely Wei Wei’s Going Public (2012), Queering Chinese Society (2015), Xiaoxing Fu’s Space, Culture and Performance (2012), and Qingfeng Wang’s Homosexuality Studies (2017). We identify three important themes from the books: space, family, and identity. Based on this, we demonstrate two characteristics of the sociolo…
Knowledge production and epistemic politics
In recent decades, sexuality studies has become an increasingly important field of social scientific research in and beyond China. This paper uses CiteSpace and VOSviewer to carry out a bibliometric analysis of 26,975 sexuality-related papers included in the Web of Science database in the past four decades through mapping knowledge domains. Situating the literature on Chinese sexuality studies in global English-language academia, this study adopt…
Towards a geography of queer temporalities
Building on the geography of sexualities and queer temporality studies, this research investigates the entanglement of sexuality, time and space with a case study of rural–urban migrant gay men in China. Based on participant observations and in‐depth interviews with 46 Chinese rural–urban migrant gay men, we identify three forms of queer temporality – queer biographical time, queer life stage, and queer clock time – emerging from Chinese gay men'…
Sexuality, migration and family
Based on analyses of the lived experiences and narratives of Chinese intranational migrant young gay men, this article investigates the complicated ways in which jia (family/home) motivates their migrations from a temporal perspective. I identify three temporal aspects of their migrations—life course, generation, and imagining the future. I also demonstrate the different ways in which jia motivates their migrations in relation to their past (pre-…
Queering Migrant Integration in Contemporary China
This article addresses the sexual gap in Chinese migration studies with a multi-dimensional analysis of Chinese migrant young gay men’s urban integration. Based on life history interviews, conducted in Shenzhen, a migrant metropolis in South China, this research examines how this migrant-friendly city offers these migrant young gay men possibilities and at the same time, limits their urban integration by taking economic, social relation and ident…
Circular, transitory, permanent
Drawing on life-history interviews conducted with Chinese intranational migrant gay men in Shenzhen, a rising migrant metropolis in South China, this article examines the pathways of Chinese intranational sexual migration, with a special focus on the state’s complicated role. I identify three patterns of migration pathway—circular, transitory, and permanent migration—to capture the tempo-spatial complexity in the Chinese gay men’s migratory traje…
