本文提出「變態太平洋」的批判概念，以檢視太平洋社會中殖民情境與性相文化的交織關係，旨在介入晚近亞美研究與酷兒研究的新興發展。所謂「變態太平洋」指的是太平洋島嶼上受到西方帝國擴張與殖民治理所形塑的另類性相文化。本文選定夏威夷與菲律賓作為主要的研究對象，不僅是因為這兩個殖民地是美國帝國向西擴張的重要場址，更是由於兩地之間的跨國離散聯繫揭示了美國帝國的跨太平洋治理結構。本文主張：在美國殖民現代性影響在地社會的過程中被加以排除的另類性相文化，正是重新繪製太平洋殖民系譜的重要批判觀點。本文透過全球－在地的辯證框架來閱讀一批特定的紀錄片與文學文本，一方面強調美國殖民技術如何影響在地社會既有的性相文化與社會網絡，另一方面也重視此文本生產中殊異的後殖民酷兒美學實踐，如何體現在地脈絡裡具有去殖民潛能的另類社會性。

This thesis centers on what I call perverse Pacifics to interrogate recent developments of Asian American studies and queer studies by taking into consideration the intersectionality of coloniality and sexuality in Pacific contexts. By perverse Pacifics, I refer to cultural practices of perverse sexualities in various Pacific contexts that had been transformed and conditioned by Western imperial projects and colonial governance. Articulating Hawai‘i and the Philippines is of vital importance in engaging with the age of American empire not only because these two colonial sites together proffer a necessary critique of the genealogy of the development of American empire in the Pacific, but also because the transnational diasporic connections between the two societies foreground the transpacific governmental structure of American empire. The repressed sexual cultures during the process of American colonial modernity, as this thesis argues, is a critical perspective for us to reconsider colonial genealogies in the Pacific. Reading a specific body of documentaries and literary texts through global-local dialectics, this thesis, on the one hand, emphasizes how the US colonial technologies have exerted influence on existing sexual cultures and social relations in local societies, and how the aesthetics of postcolonial queerness in contemporary cultural production embodies particular kinds of relational socialities with decolonial potential, on the other.
