Focusing on the theme of Chinese familialism, this chapter recasts the notion of “filiality,” foundational to the familial-kinship system, as a discursive formation, calling attention to the way filiality has been differently maneuvered by different regimes at different historical moments. Foregrounding the strengthened links between filiality and loyalty in the reinforced “family-state” discourse of martial law-era Taiwan, this chapter argues that the family-state discourse is pivotal to what I term the “Chinese queer diasporic imaginary,” symptomatic of the insoluble tension between Chinese tongzhi/queer subjects and their family-based social settings. This Chinese queer diasporic imaginary is expressed through an array of tropes – including niezi, Nezha, AIDS, ghosts, and Chinese/Taiwanese opera – in various queer-themed films, beginning with Outcasts (Yu Kan-ping, 1986).

Chinese opera is a prime focus of Chapter 2, which analyzes Two Stage Sisters (Xie Jin, 1965), a film classic from socialist China based on the evolution of Shaoxing opera. Paying special attention to the tension between the film’s text as a political melodrama and its subtext, replete with homoerotic overtones, my analysis invokes a queer intervention that rewrites the historical “surplus” of homoeroticism back into the official history of the socialist “seventeen years” (1949-1966). My integration of the social history into the textual analysis represents an alternative historiography intended to counter the ahistorical tendency underlying certain queer reading practices.

This chapter investigates the significance and articulation of tongzhi camp. It first unpacks the nebulous concept of “gay sensibility” by supplementing it with a structure of feeling mediated by gay shame and gay melancholy, alongside their particular ramifications in a Chinese cultural setting. It then examines how such a queer structure of feeling is potentially transformed into camp expressions in Corner’s (2001) and Splendid Float (2004), directed by lesbian-identifying filmmaker Zero Chou. This chapter finally analyzes the way camp is adapted by Tsai Ming-liang in The Hole (1998) into a powerful implement that negotiates heteronormativity by playing on the mechanism of the homosexual closet: homosexual presence thus becomes imbricated in the audio-visual expressions that characterize the film’s patent tongzhi camp style.
