Gender Order and Negotiation in the Huashan Festival
The Huashan Festival and Miao New Year celebrations operate as more than vehicles for ethnic identity or ritual transmission. They also function as contested public arenas of social interaction in which gender norms are continually interpreted, negotiated, and reconfigured through performative and organisational practices.

Three types of data were used to study the murals: visual data in the form of the murals themselves, interviews, and documents. The findings of this study show that a narrative mural is intended as an offeri…
