Translating Queer Culture: A Global Perspective On Representation And Identity

My current research aims to examine the ways in which LGBTQ+ individuals are represented in global media, with a particular emphasis on Chinese film and TV. By comparing the ways in which 'fan translations' and 'official translations' of popular media approach the subjects of sexuality and gender identity, I hope to develop a clearer methodology for the translation and representation of non-heteronormative culture(s).
