“MY LIFE IS TOO DARK to SEE the LIGHT” a Survey of the Living Conditions of Transgender Female Sex Workers in Beijing and Shanghai
“MY LIFE IS TOO DARK TO SEE THE LIGHT” A Survey of the Living Conditions of Transgender Female Sex Workers in Beijing and Shanghai C Based on research in Beijing and Shanghai, China this report focuses on the daily life, working conditions, access to services, and legal frameworks for transgender female sex workers in China. Transgender female sex workers face a broad array of discrimination in social and policy frameworks, preventing this highly marginalized group’s access to a wide spectrum of services and legal protections. They experience amplifed stigma due to both their gender identity and their profession. Isolated and often humiliated when seeking public services, particularly in health care settings, has also led many to self-medicate and engage in dangerous transitioning practices, including on self-administered hormone use. In China, transgender people do not necessarily face outright legal penalties, but the absence of non- discrimination laws and lack of enforcement of overarching policies on non-discriminatory access to healthcare and HIV related services, means they are left without efective protection. As sex work is illegal in China, transgender sex workers are further oppressed by the police and, due to social and other factors, engage in high risk activities that put them at increased risk of HIV and STD infection. The research for this report illuminates that the community of female presenting sex workers is very complex and includes men who have sex with men, transgender individuals, and transsexuals. Their vulnerabilities to HIV and their varied health needs need to be carefully assessed, strategically targeted, and addressed. As China is in the process of drafting a new HIV/AIDS action plan for 2016-2020, now is a good opportunity to develop a specifc strategy on HIV prevention and care for the transgender community. -

Introduction 1 Mapping Independent Chinese Documentary
Notes Introduction 1. I recognize that this term is conceptually ambiguous, occupying a somewhat vexed position in the history of documentary due to its association with cinéma vérité. Brian Winston (2007, p. 298) has pointed out that initially cinéma vérité referred not to observational documentary – or cinéma direct in French, the ‘fly on the wall’ format in which the director scrupulously erases his or her presence from the cinematic image – but to the particular form of French filmmaking pioneered by Jean Rouch, in which the docu- mentary director consistently inserts him or herself into the frame. However, the anglophone documentary tradition has, over time, tended to confuse the terms, attributing the central principle of cinéma direct to cinéma vérité. In consequence, the latter term is not applied with particular consistency to any single group of films, further dividing scholars over what distinguishes the two approaches. It is for this reason that Bill Nichols (1991, p. 38) has advocated doing away with the term altogether, and replacing it with the concepts of ‘observational’ and ‘interactive’ filmmaking. The situation is com- plicated still further in China, where different kinds of film practice have their own history and vocabulary, sometimes distinct from, sometimes inex- tricably bound up with, those we are more familiar with in Europe and the Americas. Nevertheless, the term vérité has acquired a less specialist currency associated precisely with the type of realism displayed in these films, a point often acknowledged by foreign critics of contemporary Chinese documentary. For this reason, I shall be using it as a general (non-Chinese) shorthand for the aesthetic that is the focus of this book. -
Queer Representations in Chinese-Language Film and the Cultural Landscape
ASIAN VISUAL CULTURES Chao and Landscape the Cultural Film Chinese-language in Representations Queer Shi-Yan Chao Queer Representations in Chinese-language Film and the Cultural Landscape Queer Representations in Chinese-language Film and the Cultural Landscape Asian Visual Cultures This series focuses on visual cultures that are produced, distributed and consumed in Asia and by Asian communities worldwide. Visual cultures have been implicated in creative policies of the state and in global cultural networks (such as the art world, film festivals and the Internet), particularly since the emergence of digital technologies. Asia is home to some of the major film, television and video industries in the world, while Asian contemporary artists are selling their works for record prices at the international art markets. Visual communication and innovation are also thriving in transnational networks and communities at the grass-roots level. Asian Visual Cultures seeks to explore how the texts and contexts of Asian visual cultures shape, express and negotiate new forms of creativity, subjectivity and cultural politics. It specifically aims to probe into the political, commercial and digital contexts in which visual cultures emerge and circulate, and to trace the potential of these cultures for political or social critique. It welcomes scholarly monographs and edited volumes in English by both established and early-career researchers.
