“边缘”话语跻入“主流”文化空间的探索

In the early 1990's, homosexuality (a.k.a. 'tongzhi') became a major theme in films made by independent, artistically oriented filmmakers. Since then, this theme has grown rapidly in popularity ――so much so that it has become a notable cultural phenomena. The author asserts that the topic of homosexuality ――a taboo topic started as pioneers in the film ――has become so common as to be mundane, and again, an embarrassing topic that stops bringing more innovation and excitement.
