本論文以Leslie Feinberg的小說《石牆藍調》（Stone Butch Blues）與日本的耽美辯論作為案例研究，探討1990年代「再現」與「未來性」如何影響酷兒身份的形成與塑造。透過Amiee Bahng的未來性理論以及Lee Edelman對生殖未來主義的批判，本文批判了酷兒進步的線性敘事，並揭示了當下生活經驗如何被對未來的投射所宰制。 本文指出，《石牆藍調》呈現了激進女性主義運動與Butch身份之間的張力，揭露非規範性酷兒表達在女性主義論述中的邊緣化現象。同樣，日本的耽美辯論揭示了女性對男性同性戀浪漫幻想與同性戀者現實鬥爭之間的矛盾。兩組文本均反映出新自由主義與全球酷兒規範性的壓力，這種壓力將多元的酷兒表達限制在狹隘的包容性與「尊重性」框架內。 本文最終主張重新想像酷兒的未來性，超越單一化與同質化的敘事框架。通過重新審視過往酷兒鬥爭的多樣性，本文旨在挖掘尊重酷兒存在複雜性的替代性抵抗與團結模式。 ;This thesis examines the interplay between representation and futurity in shaping queer existence and movements during the 1990s through an analysis of two distinct cases: Leslie Feinberg’s novel Stone Butch Blues and the Japanese yaoi debates during 1992-1996. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from Amiee Bahng’s conceptualization of futurity and Lee Edelman’s critique of reproductive futurism, the study critiques the linear narratives of queer progress and the subjectification of lived experiences to speculative futures. The analysis reveals how Stone Butch Blues portrays tensions between radical feminist movements and butch identity, highlighting the marginalization of non-conforming queer expressions within feminist discourses. Similarly, the yaoi debates expose the conflicts between female fantasies of male-male romance and the realities of gay men’s struggles for visibility and rights in Japan. Both texts reflect the pressures of neoliberalism and global queer normativity, which constrain diverse expressions of queerness into narrow frameworks of inclusion and respectability. When approached by contemporary readers, both texts become embodiments of a neoliberal reflexivity, which not only advocate a settled future within their narratives, but also serve as historical evidences that validate the justice of the neoliberal futurity. The thesis ultimately advocates for a reimagining of queer solidarity that transcends singular, homogenized readings. By revisiting the multiplicity of past queer struggles, it seeks to uncover alternative modes of resistance and solidarity that honor the complexities of queer existence.
