活動概覽:

Queer identity politics has assumed an increasing visibility in China’s urban centers. LGBT friendly restaurants, lesbian marriage activism, the popular genre of boy’s love, and transgendered celebrities are changing the public culture of gender and sexuality. At the same time, the pink economy in China is one of the fastest growing sectors. Various new social media platforms such as Blued and LesPark bloom in response to high demands of the LGBT communities. All these new practices are not only responses over new meanings of desires, interests, consumption, and new identities within a changing social, political, and economic landscape. They are also tied to new forms of citizen rights advocacy and new forms of social activism.

The symposium of Movements of Desires gathers esteemed scholars, activists, and artists from China and abroad to explore the ways that queer studies, politics, new media practices and consumption innovation transform and reimagine new social possibilities and scholarship.
