【 摘 要 】

Sex/Gender is 248 pages in total and is authored by Liu Yan, who holds a Ph.D. in literary studiesfrom The Chinese University of Hong Kong which was awarded in 2003. She is currently workingas a professor of English at Faculty of English Language and Culture, Guangdong Universityof Foreign Studies (Guangzhou, P.R. China). Her academic interests include psychoanalysis andgender studies. This book makes a necessary contribution to the gap in Chinese scholarshipregarding male and LGBTQ studies which are often overshadowed by more Feminist studies(women’s studies) in Chinese academic circles.This book analyzes three major branches of gender studies and specific case studies with the aimto explain, shape, and broaden the direction of further research by Chinese academics in this field.Women’s, male, and LGBTQ studies are discussed from both Western and Chinese perspectivesenabling the reader to contrast and grasp the contextual differences inherent in both. Startingfrom a point of cross-culturally analyzing the differences between sex and gender and its evolution,the author(s) uses this as a foundation to discuss women’s, male, and LGBTQ gender studies anddraws on a number of English language literary case studies to establish a path into how Westerntheories of gender-related literary criticism may be crafted into something new and relevant to theChinese context.
