Taking an ethnographic and phenomenological approach, it asks how these men construct and experience ways of ‘sexual being’ – as \u003ci\u003egay\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ehomosexual\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003etongzhi\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003egay\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to scholars in LGBTQ studies, particularly those with a focus on same-sex intimacies and identities in China.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-03-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030922528\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-92253-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 252\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47192040145036,"sku":"9783030922528","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030922528.jpg?v=1775056073","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030922528","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
