Queering the Global South: Mu Cao and His Poetry

Bao, Hongwei

Abstract

This chapter discusses the impact of and resistance to neoliberalism inthe Global South via a discussion of the queer Chinese poet Mu Cao andhis poems.1Adopting a cultural studies approach to literature, I examinethe social practice of literary production and dissemination through myparticipant observation of a literary event in China, in tandem with atextual analysis of Mu Cao’s poems. In so doing, I interrogate the complexrelationship between neoliberalism, queer subject formation, and poetryproduction in the Global South
