商品描述

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals in Japan, framed through the central concept of precarious visibility. While the COVID-19 pandemic serves as a pivotal case study, the scope of this work extends beyond that moment to examine how legal precarity, entrenched cultural expectations, and pervasive social stigma shape queer lives in Japan and abroad. Drawing on rich first-person narratives and qualitative analysis, the book illuminates the challenges and resilience of this diverse community.Key themes include healthcare access, mental health, family and workplace dynamics, migration and travel restrictions, and the contested politics of media representation and activism. By centering voices often overlooked even within LGBTQ+ research, the book highlights both the vulnerabilities and adaptive strategies of queer individuals navigating social marginalization. Distinctive in its integration of domestic and diasporic perspectives, the book is relevant to students an scholars in LGBTQ+ studies, Japanese studies, and global queer scholarship. It demonstrates how moments of crisis, such as the pandemic, expose deeper structural inequalities while also prompting new forms of solidarity and resistance.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書全面探討了日本 LGBTQ+ 個體的生活經驗，並以「脆弱的可見性」為核心概念。雖然 COVID-19 疫情作為一個關鍵案例進行分析，但本書的範疇超越了這一時刻，檢視法律脆弱性、根深蒂固的文化期望以及普遍存在的社會污名如何塑造日本及海外的酷兒生活。透過豐富的第一人稱敘述和質性分析，本書揭示了這個多元社群所面臨的挑戰與韌性。主要主題包括醫療保健的可及性、心理健康、家庭與職場動態、移民與旅行限制，以及媒體表現與行動主義的爭議政治。通過聚焦那些在 LGBTQ+ 研究中常被忽視的聲音，本書突顯了酷兒個體在社會邊緣化中所面臨的脆弱性與適應策略。本書在整合國內與海外視角方面具有獨特性，對於 LGBTQ+ 研究、日本研究及全球酷兒學術界的學生與學者均具相關性。它展示了危機時刻（如疫情）如何揭露更深層的結構性不平等，同時促進新的團結與抵抗形式。
