This paper applies queer theory to explore and compare the universality, differences, and particularities of queer desires embodied in Taiwanese and Japanese women’s literature. It focuses on the intricate intersections of queerness and national/cultural identities, examining the production of various sexualities and identity politics within the socio-cultural contexts of Taiwan and Japan. The primary texts discussed are Li Qinfeng’s Solo Dance and Matsuura Rieko’s Natural Woman. Through textual analysis and comparison, this paper not only highlights the differences in how queer subjects express multiple desires in each text but also reveals the distinct resistance strategies employed respectively by the writers. Furthermore, it compares the normative constraints imposed by the socio-cultural discourses of the two countries that are effectuated on the formation of queer subjectivities.
