本論文檢視出櫃這一實踐如何在LGBTQ倡議運動的進步立場下被建構，以及它如何在越南的在地脈絡中被普及化。本論文不僅將探討出櫃實踐在越南的歷史出現，也將透過分析出櫃告解式範式中的權力關係，以及其與越南社會文化特質的適應，讓這一實踐變得更加複雜化。本研究亦將考慮如何從不同文化觀點挑戰出櫃告解結構中的權力形式——透過當代越南語境中對酷兒的文化再現。透過分析特定文化文本的出櫃再現，本論文嘗試重新思考出櫃作為解放手段的必要性，尤其當這一實踐可能在不同文化脈絡中糾纏於各種兩難處境時更為關鍵，特別是在如越南這樣重視親子關係與家庭價值的亞洲國家——出櫃不僅是為了主張個人身份，也成為維繫家庭聯繫的重要方式。;Examining how the practice of coming out has been constructed based on progressive stances of LGBTQ-advocacy movements and how it has been popularized in the local context of Vietnam, this thesis will not only study the historical emergence of the practice of coming out in Vietnam but also complicating it by looking into the power relation in the confessional paradigm of coming out and its adaptation with Vietnamese socio-cultural traits. This study will also consider how to challenge the form of power in the confessional structure of coming out through different perspectives—via cultural representation of queer in the contemporary Vietnamese context. By looking at the selected texts of cultural representation, the thesis attempts to rethink the necessity of coming-out practice as a liberating means when the practice of coming out paradigm might entangle with the dilemmas in different cultural contexts, especially in such an Asian country as Vietnam where cultural values appreciated in parent-child bonding—coming-out becomes essential for not only claiming identity as individualism but also retaining that familial connection.
