中國耽美（BL）小說中的情慾書寫與性／別政治

Erotic Desires and Gender/Sexuality Politics in Chinese Boys' Love (BL) Fiction

耽美小說是一種主要由女性書寫、閱讀的男男同性情愛故事。本文檢視了耽美小說的情慾書寫和快感機制，嘗試在具體的社會文化脈絡下理解耽美小說中的性幻想、性暴力和性政治。文章首先分析了耽美小說中種類繁多的男性身體表徵，指出女性主動創造投射其慾望的男色形象，並在女性社群中廣泛分享的行為，在華人社會中是史無前例的。同時，耽美小說還提供了更加多樣化的、禁忌性更強的情慾模式，每一種情慾模式都隱含著獨特的性政治議題。本文特別探討了耽美小說中普遍存在的強姦情節，以及這種情節如何為女性提供了想像性的解決制度性暴力的方法。由於擺脫了異性戀體制中男主女從的固定程式，耽美不僅能以一種更為自由的態度處理親密關係中的角色扮演、權力分配和快感生成，還能為性／政治方面的禁忌性話題提供更多的探索空間。

Boys' Love (BL) fiction is a genre of male-male love stories mostly written by and for women. This paper examines the portrayal of erotic desires and the mechanism of pleasure in BL fiction in an attempt to understand the sexual fantasy, violence, and politics of BL within the concrete sociocultural context of Mainland China. The paper first analyzes various types of the male body represented in BL. For the first time in Chinese society, women have actively created sexualized male images according to their own desires and circulated them widely in female community. Meanwhile, BL fiction has offered more diverse and transgressive modes of sexuality, each of which has unique implications for gender/sexuality politics. The paper particularly investigates how BL fiction uses rape, a common plot device, to offer women imaginary solutions to institutional violence. Freed from the heterosexual regime that legitimizes male dominance over women, BL not only fosters a more liberal attitude towards issues of role-playing, power distribution, and the production of pleasure in intimate relationships but opens up more space for exploration of taboo subjects concerning sex and politics.
