商品簡介
By focusing on the film’s representations of queer sexualities and transgender experience, this book contends that the under-appreciated Bugis Street (“妖街皇后”) by director Yonfan (楊凡) is a significant instance of queer transnational cinema. The film’s playful yet nuanced articulations of queer embodiment, spatiality, and temporality provide an unexpected intervention in the public discourses on LGBT politics, activism, and cultures in Singapore today. This book’s arrival at a much more complicated and contradictory picture of the discursive Bugis Street, through the examination of Yonfan’s film and a range of other cultural and literary texts.
