Texts and Contexts of Sinophone Feminisms

Paola ZAMPERINI

At this point in our time together, we will have developed a common vocabulary of key analytics, methodologies and epistemologies and can turn to read and discuss together the writings of two foundational Sinophone feminists, He Yin Zhen 何殷震 (ca. 1884 – 1920?), and Hsiu-lien Annette Lu 呂秀蓮 (1944-). Their works propose theoretical and methodological alternatives we can think with to pursue and produce decolonial and non-racist feminist epistemologies.

Paola Zamperini is Associate Professor in Chinese Literature and Culture, and Gender and Sexuality Studies at Northwestern University, Chicago. She has written and published extensively about representations of prostitution, female suicide, fashion theory and history, pornography, and spiritual resonance, in Chinese literature and culture and beyond, including the sinophone worlds in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet and elsewhere e.g. Lost Bodies. Prostitution and Masculinity in Chinese Fiction. She has recently completed her manuscript Sinopornologies. Writing Sex in Late Imperial Fiction and is currently working on a monograph on gambling and gender, and another on fashion and desire in early modern literature.
