Out of the Ordinary: Representations of LGBT Lives is a book that seeks to case study the ways in which being other than heterosexual and other than biologically male or female can be or represented today. The essays contained within this book represent a body of creativity and thought that is rarely found together. It offers insights into the ways in which lives are not only experienced but portrayed by others as well as by those lesbians, gay men, bisexual and trans people who live them

South Korea does not have a strong and visible lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender social movement in the public, despite active issue advocacy organizations, political representation from the Democratic Labour Party, and popular television shows that portray LGBT characters and themes. The LGBT movement has had a difficult time growing in South Korea because, as some have argued South Korea has long been ignorant about homosexuality and awareness of 'gay' had not been discovered until the early 1990s. I will look at three causal reasons that best describe the dearth of a growing social movement pushing for LGBT rights.

Out and Running is the first systematic analysis of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) political representation that explores the dynamics of state legislative campaigns and the influence of lesbian and gay legislators in the state policymakin.

This paper investigates how lesbians, gay men, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are represented in mainstream advertising in the United States. This article addresses which subgroups are most commonly featured and textually analyzes the common plots, iconography, and appeals used to represent LGBT characters in advertising. The objective is to explore how the identity categories of sexuality, gender, race, and class are enacted in advertising and what sociocultural and marketing ideologies shape these representations.

Construccio?n de rutinas espaciales y sus efectos en las dina?micas de inclusio?n-exclusio?n del activismo LGBT de Córdoba, ArgentinaEl presente arti?culo explora la relacio?n entre espacialidad y accio?n poli?tica al inte- rior del movimiento LGTB de Co?rdoba, Argentina. Se focaliza en la construccio?n de rutinas espaciales como determinante de la estratificacio?n social en el activismo LGTB.

We focus on the construction of spatial routines as a determinant of social stratification among LGTB activists. By looking at the activist track of different groups, characterized as 'historical vs. recent', we analyze different uses and representations of space, and their effects on the inclusion-exclusion dynamics at play in a concrete instance political action: the first local "Pride and Sexual Diversity March", in November, 2009. Field observation records and interviews with activists show how the emergence of new activist groups in the late 1990's produced a displacement of spatial routines from the periphery to the downtown area. This process generated a dynamics of inclusion/exclusion which reproduces a social stratification of activism, compromising the goal of broadening the social spectrum of participants.Keywords: LGBT activism; LGBT Pride Parade; social uses of space; social movements; sexual citizenship

Cultural production in the last decade shows the emergence of new social phenomena, the enunciation of the crisis of the individual, the family and the Government, and others from the discourse of a world without ideologies or big speeches that portray the social panorama. A case is that of queer groups in Bogota and the conceptual and political construction processes planned by their undeniable presence. The article is divided in three parts: the first is a characterization and contextualization of the 'queer' and its relationship to the LGBT on a theoretical level. The second is an analysis based on the tensions and paradoxes in the social representations of these actors as a way to understand their dynamics in an epistemological way. The third and final part presents the conclusions that aim to be a point of reflection and not of exegesis in this anti-essentialist territory. ; En la última década, la producción cultural muestra la eclosión de nuevos fenómenos sociales, desde enunciación de la crisis del sujeto, la familia y el Estado, hasta la arenga de un mundo sin ideologías o grandes discursos que den cuenta del panorama social. Un caso de ello son los grupos queer en Bogotá y los procesos de construcción conceptual y política que su presencia indiscutible planea. El artículo está dividido en tres partes: la primera es una caracterización y contextualización teórico de lo queer y su relación con lo LGBT, la segunda, es el análisis desde las tensiones y paradojas presentes en la representación social de estos actores como forma de compresión epistemológica de sus dinámicas y, por último, las conclusiones, que, en este territorio antiesencialista, de nociones líquidas, busca ser un punto de reflexión y no de exégesis.

Resumen. Este artículo realiza un análisis histórico de la producción intelectual chilena en torno a la homosexualidad y constata una permanencia del paradigma medicalizador, verificable hasta la actualidad. Tal paradigma, su conceptualización y representación, además de influenciar imaginarios sociales, dan lugar a la homofobia y a las dificultades para introducir reformas pro derechos de la comunidad LGBT. Sus antecedentes inmediatos se encuentran en el higienismo y en intentos modernizadores acaecidos en Chile durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Dicho paradigma habría transitado en Chile por cuatro momentos: un período de instalación; otro de predominio de la interpretación psicoanalítica; un tercero de hegemonía del método fenomenológico; y finalmente un período de apologética medicalizadora, años, coincidente con la vuelta a la democracia, la irrupción de los movimientos LGBT organizados y las reivindicaciones de derechos para las personas LGBT.Palabras clave: Chile; homosexualidad; medicalizaciónConfiguração da homossexualidade medicalizada no ChileResumo. Este artigo realiza uma análise histórica da produção intelectual chilena em torno da homossexualidade e constata uma permanência do paradigma medicalizador, que se verifica até a atualidade. Tal paradigma, sua conceitualização e representação, além de influenciarem imaginários sociais, dão lugar à homofobia e às dificuldades para introduzir reformas pelos direitos da comunidade LGBT. Seus antecedentes imediatos encontram-se no higienismo e em intentos modernizadores acontecidos no Chile durante as primeiras décadas do século XX. Tal paradigma teria transitado no Chile em quatro ocasiões: um período de instalação; outro de predomínio da interpretação psicoanalítica; um terceiro de hegemonia do método fenomenológico; e, finalmente, um período de apologética medicalizadora, coincidindo com a volta à democracia, a irrupção dos movimentos LGBT organizados e as reivindicações por direitos para as pessoas LGBT.Palavras-chave: Chile; homossexualidade; medicalizaçãoMedicalizing homosexuality in ChileAbstract. In this article, a historical analysis of Chilean intellectual production about homosexuality indicates the permanence of a medicalized paradigm, verifiable up to the present. The conceptualization and representation of such paradigm influences the collective imagination, explaining and legitimizing homophobia and difficulties in introducing reforms to grant rights to the LGBT community. Its immediate background is found in hygienist, modernizing programs in the early 20th Century. The medicalization of homosexuality in Chile can be divided in four periods: its implantation; the predominance of a psychoanalytic interpretation; hegemony of the phenomenological method; and, finally, medicalized apologetics. The latter coincides with the period of re-democratization, and the emergence of LGBT organized movements and LGBT rights.Keywords: Chile; medicalization; homosexuality

This essay aims to give an overview of Hong Kong queer media productions by presenting specific media representations that speak to local queer sensibilities and sexual politics. I investigate the nature of a localized queer nonchalance that cultivates an environment readable as both tolerant and limiting of queer desires, as well as resistant of the rumors of a broader cultural death. One of the case studies includes, to use Helen Hok-Sze Leung's term, "do-it-yourself" queer cultural projects that focus on reaching out to LGBT communities rather than to a wider mainstream public reception. Another example involves gender-crossing performances and cultural productions from mainstream media icons in popular culture. Finally, I discuss gossip magazine coverage of queer celebrity rumors. I locate my concerns in questioning whether mass-media practices can perversely normalize same-sex sexuality in our everyday lives.

El arte cinematográfico ha reflejado desde sus inicios el discurso y la estética queer y se ha convertido en una de las representaciones más importantes de su experiencia. Stonewall, Mi nombre es Harvey Milk y Filadelfia se encargaron de trazar el recorrido del movimiento estadunidense por los derechos LGBT, enmarcado en tres décadas de alta recordación y desde la perspectiva de sus realizadores. Sin embargo, detrás de lo que la imagen cuenta se esconde el relato de tres momentos determinantes para el colectivo homosexual, el cual descubre que el poder y el derecho además de ser masculinos son heterosexuales y, así mismo, legislan ; The cinematographic art has reflected, since his beginnings, the queer speech and aesthetics and has turned into one of the most important representations of his experience. Stonewall, My name is Harvey Milk and Philadelphia have drawn the path of the American gay rights movement, placed in three decades of high recall, from the perspective of their producers. Nevertheless, behind of what the image narrates, hides the tale of three special moments for the homosexual group, which discovers that the power and the law, besides of being masculine, are heterosexual and, likewise, legislate
