Abstract

This study examines continuity and change in the lives of rural migrant gay men working in China’s state-owned enterprises (SOE) from an everyday life perspective. By examining their sexuality, migration histories, and heterosexual marriage experiences, this study contributes to sexuality and migration literature by exploring how rural-to-urban migrant gay men maintain their everyday homosexual intimacies in post-socialist China. It adds to the perspective that gay men’s perceptions, interpretations, and reactions to marriage and sexuality vary, due to their personal migration experiences. These findings also contribute to scholarly discussions of everyday life by providing a nuanced analysis of how spatial tactics are employed as forms of everyday resistance by gay men for maintaining their sexualities.

《保持距离:中国国有企业已婚男同性恋农民工日常生活的变化》

本研究从日常生活的角度考察了在中国国有企业(SOE)工作的农民工男同性恋者生活的连续性和变化。通过考察他们的性取向、迁徙历史和异性婚姻经历，本研究探讨了后社会主义中国从农村到城市的男同性恋移民如何维持日常的同性恋亲密关系，从而为性取向和迁徙文学做出了贡献。它增加了一个观点，即男同性恋者对婚姻和性的看法、解释和反应各不相同，因为他们的个人移民经历。这些发现还为日常生活的学术讨论提供了细致入微的分析，即空间策略是如何被男同性恋者用作维持其性取向的日常抵抗形式的。
