非西方、亞洲或中美冷戰結構？重置酷兒臺灣的戰（暫）時主體

Non-Western Sexuality, Queer Asia, or Cold War Geopolitics? Repositioning Queer Taiwan in the Temporal Turn

國族議題一直是臺灣酷兒知識生產的焦慮，而這樣的焦慮並非只來自 臺灣地緣政治歷史發展與現況糾葛的投射，也源自於歐美中心酷兒理論框 架中，無法處理「酷兒臺灣」的多樣地域性所拼湊而成的「歪斜」存在。 本文首先爬梳歐美酷兒理論變遷中的地域知識論，探討為何從「西方」對 立「非西方」的分類，到千禧年初的「跨國轉向」，乃至近期酷兒理論結 合「區域研究」的冷戰分析，都尚未能解開酷兒臺灣地域定位的概念與政 治層面問題。其次，我舉出「同性戀國族主義」在臺灣性別地緣政治的挪 用，作為一個酷兒研究壓縮時間輸出、複製歐美中心邏輯的「旅行理論」 例子。我最終指出，酷兒臺灣採取「時間轉向」以正面回應國家主權議題 的可能研究走向。

 

The question of nationalism is one of the main preoccupations in theorizing “Queer Taiwan.” This concern arises from not only Taiwan’s complicated geopolitical histories and contested status, but also from the inability of Euro-American-centric frameworks in queer theory to adequately reckon with Queer Taiwan’s multiple and oblique geographies. This article first examines the shifting geo-spatial epistemologies of Euro-American queer theory from its foundational “West vs. Non-West” binarism, to the “transnational turn” in the early 2000s, and lastly to more recent engagements between queer theory and area studies, whose Cold War frameworks have failed to resolve the conceptual and political tensions surrounding Queer Taiwan’s geo-spatial positioning. Secondly, I discuss the application of “homonationalism” to Taiwan as a case of traveling theory in order to demonstrate how the decontextualized compression and export of this concept problematically replicates issues of queer theory’s Euro-American-centrism. Lastly, I propose a “temporal turn” as one possible line of inquiry that takes seriously and is more responsive to the questions of national sovereignty surrounding Queer Taiwan.
