BackQueer Asia (酷兒亞洲)
Editorial Collective: Chris Berry (King’s College London), John Nguyet Erni (Hong Kong Baptist University), Peter Jackson (Australian National University), Helen Hok-Sze Leung (Simon Fraser University), and Shawna Tang (University of Sydney, Australia)
The Queer Asia series opens a space for monographs and anthologies in all disciplines focusing on non-normative sexuality and gender cultures, identities and practices across all regions of Asia. Queer Studies, Queer Theory, and Transgender Studies originated in, and remain dominated by, North American and European academic circles. Yet, the separation between sexual orientation and gender identity, while relevant in the West, does not neatly apply to all Asian contexts, which are themselves complex and diverse. Growing numbers of scholars inside and beyond Asia are producing exciting and challenging work that studies Asian histories and cultures of trans and queer phenomena. The Queer Asia series—first of its kind in publishing—provides a valuable opportunity for developing and sustaining these initiatives.
《酷兒亞洲叢書》為各個學科的專著及文集開闢了一個空間,聚焦亞洲區內非正統的性和性別相關的文化、認同與實踐。酷兒研究及酷兒理論源於歐美學界且仍為之主導,現有的相關著述也呈現這一趨勢。但是,亞洲內外與日俱增的學者正通過自己的著述挑戰並修正這一失衡。《酷兒亞洲叢書》勇開先河,為此嘗試發展創造良機。
