Theorising Chinese Masculinity

Society and Gender in China

Edición de la obra Theorising Chinese masculinity

In the first comprehensive analysis of Chinese masculinity, Kam Louie uses the concepts of wen (cultural attainment) and wu (martial valour) to explain attitudes to masculinity. This revises most Western analyses of Asian masculinity that rely on the yin-yang binary. Examining classical and contemporary Chinese literature and film, the book also looks at the Chinese diaspora to consider Chinese masculinity within and outside China.
