ABSTRACT

This article examines the cultural and political work of transgender Chinese and Polish American filmmaker Christopher Lee through the affects of Lee’s autobiographical documentary short Christopher’s Chronicles – Chapter 1 (1996) and the work Lee’s queer/trans of color family performed to pass California’s Respect After Death Act (2014) to get Lee’s correct gender identity recorded on his death certificate. It argues that positioning the politics and affect of Chronicles next the actions of Lee’s queer/trans of color family through the Respect After Death Act allows us to rethink Asian American gendered citizenship through kinship, time, and affect.

摘要

本文通过李自传纪录片短片《克里斯托弗志》（Christopher's Chronicles）（第1章， 1996年）的影响以及李的同志/跨色家庭的传译，通过了加利福尼亚州对死后的尊重，考察了变性华裔和波兰裔美国电影制片人克里斯托弗·李的文化和政治工作。法案（2014年），以将李的正确性别身份记录在他的死亡证明中。它认为，通过《死后尊重法》，通过将《编年史》的政治和影响定位在李的酷儿/跨色家庭的行为之后，我们可以通过血缘，时间和影响来重新思考亚裔美国人的性别公民身份。
