Temporalities of Mundane Care and Yangsheng Practices Among Chinese Older Adults
While public health narratives often portray older people as potential burdens to society in the context of global population ageing, their care provisions are often undervalued. In China, older adults have been increasingly prompted to take responsibility for their health while caring for their adult children and grandchildren. Based on fieldwork with urban older adults who actively pursue yangsheng (life‐nurturing and health cultivation), this …
The Bittersweet Temporality of Belonging
This article examines complex temporalities of belonging among residents of Zhujiajiao, a water town near Shanghai. Drawing on ethnographic material, the analysis shows how local temporal negotiation in relation to belonging is not a homogeneous process but is shaped by individuals' temporal orientation and dominant political narratives. In doing so, the article challenges the idea that a specific group of people will share similar temporal logic…
Contemporary Chinese Queer Performance
Review of the book Contemporary Chinese Queer Performance, by Hongwei Bao
Cultivating shenti in everyday life
Reading through the concept of shenti (body-self), this article examines the everyday processes by which Chinese young men make sense of and articulate ideal embodied masculinity as situated in different relationships. Drawing on 30 in-depth interviews with urban young men, I argue that the Chinese masculine self is essentially constitutive of and constructed through shenti during the men's ordinary daily experiences. I highlight the relational f…
Good men need to be you dandang
This article examines Chinese young men’s negotiation of masculinity and male roles in intimate relationships. It addresses how masculine ideals are interpreted and lived out in young men’s experiences of relationships and marriage. Based on data generated through in-depth interviews, it argues that you dandang – being willing to shoulder responsibilities and capable of fulfilling male roles – is the key criterion of masculinity in the intimate s…
The Resilient Bond With Zhujiajiao

Focusing on the narratives and practices of long-term residents, it was found that people generally maintain a resilient bond with their community in Zhujiajiao despite profound local changes. Drawing on in-depth interviews, the article brings to light the complicated and contextual meanings o…
Masculinizing fatherhood
Drawing on interviews with two groups of young men from different socio-economic positions in contemporary China, this paper explores how masculine ideals are justified, negotiated and lived out in their narratives of fatherhood and parenting. Reading through the lens of ‘yang’ (raise/feed) and ‘jiao’ (educate/cultivate), the paper addresses how neoliberal ideology in relation to competitiveness and traditional cultural values of parenthood and m…
Sex With Chinese Characteristics
This article examines the changing contours of Chinese sexuality studies by locating recent research in historical context. Our aim is to use the literature we review to construct a picture of the sexual landscape in China and the sociocultural and political conditions that have shaped it, enabling readers unfamiliar with China to understand its sexual culture and practices. In particular, we focus on the consequences of recent changes under the …
Whingeing’ husbands
This article examines different forms of inequality within men’s practices of intimacy in urban China. Focusing on the gloomy side of intimacy described by three husbands, it seeks to unravel what stands behind the language of complaints and dislikes. The data reveals that practices of intimacy do not always entail positive feelings, but can sometimes be experienced unpleasantly. It is argued that practices of intimacy are often implicated in pra…
