Sexuality and Gender Diversity Rights in Southeast Asia
Review of the book Sexuality and Gender Diversity Rights in Southeast Asia, by Anthony J. Langlois
The Specter of Materialism
The Specter of Materialism is a groundbreaking work by Petrus Liu that explores pivotal themes across three domains—“queer theory's materialist turn from questions of representation to those of precarity, dispossession, and the maldistribution of life chances; contemporary Marxism's reconceptualization of race, gender, and sexuality as material differences that capital requires for its expanded reproduction; and the subsumption of social differen…

This article uses the app Health Code, a smartphone-based application for contact tracing and risk assessment that serves as a COVID-19 health passport, as an example to explore how "biometric citizenship," a new mode of preemptive social regulation, functions and malfunctions in contemporary China. First, through a review of China's transition from socialism to neoliberalism, the authors trace how the tenet of citizenship shifts from biological/…

Celebrating Fifty Years of Feminist Studies
"In celebration of fifty years since Feminist Studies began publishing, in 1972, we asked a selection of authors to convey what having their work published in Feminist Studies has meant for them, both professionally as well as personally. Following are their responses."
Ethno-Racial Paranoia and Affective Cold Warism
Focusing on an array of comparable racial and ethnic projects, this essay identifies and unpacks how an affective infrastructure of rival imperial formations that we call "ethno-racial paranoia" spawns enduring fears and antagonisms to perpetuate Cold War mentalities. Through an ethnoracial linkage, the US and PRC not only have been coconstituting and coevolving through each other but also have emerged as interdependent adversaries. Our analysis …
Hyperreal homoerotic love in a monarchized military conjuncture
The rise of Boys’ Love (BL) TV series in Thailand over the past decade has sparked critical attention from both academics and journalists alike. Rather than rehashing the trajectory of this development, we analyze Thai popular culture as a contested sexual and political space in which BL performs a paradoxical function within Thailand’s contemporary crisis dominated by a royalist military junta with a penchant for pinkwashing. Through adopting an…
Releasing Masculinity for a More Just World
This article develops a feminist reading of the biographical action series featuring Ip Man, the Wing Chun grand master lionized for mentoring Bruce Lee, as a set of culturally inflected practices in order to probe the sociohistorical structure that embeds and overdetermines these productions and allows for new, subversive potentialities. Building upon situated engagement, my analysis traces how the hypermasculine violentyanggangaesthetic traditi…
Spatiotemporal patterns of urban sprawl and its relationship with economic development in China during 1990–2010
When Feminist Falls in Love with Queer
Dan Mei, a Chinese subculture centered on fictional homoromantic/homoerotic relationships between beautiful young men, is part of the growing global queer fandom cultures. Approaching Dan Mei as a transnational "apparatus of love," this article intends to carve out new directions and dimensions for the emerging queer fandom studies, and identify the social institutions, markets, political regimes, and ideological ends that shape and condition the…
