O presente manuscrito consiste em um recorte de um projeto de pesquisa maior intitulado "Histórias, violências e desalojares: a trajetória de LGBTs nos espaços de ensino" e, tem por objetivo levantar considerações acerca do questionamento: "Que tecnologias de poder atravessam um corpo mulher, negro, bissexual e candomblecista em sua trajetória educacional podem ser evidenciadas no ato deste corpo de narrar-se a si?". Para traçar tais explanações, é realizado como mote a produção de narrativas de si por meio de dialogo audiogravado-transcrito, caderno de campo e uma hermeneutica discursiva inspirada em Michel Foucault e na heteroautobiografia de Margareth Rago. Evidenciam-se tecnologias de normalização, moralização cristã, silênciamento, não audição e ocupação espacial.
O objetivo desta pesquisa é refletir acerca dos direitos reprodutivos das pessoas transgêneros, com supedâneo em pesquisa bibliográfica, normas legais e deontológicas. Embora a Lei do planejamento familiar não faça qualquer tipo de restrição quanto à realização do projeto parental dessa parte da população, na prática o direito à saúde reprodutiva em geral não se concretiza, bem como a invisibilidade nos documentos relacionados ao processo transexualizador e aos direitos da comunidade de lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, travestis e transexuais (LGBT). Por fim, foi abordada a "esterilidade simbólica" da população trans, uma vez que a reprodução e a parentalidade destas pessoas são vistas com preconceito e menosprezo por aqueles que não reconhecem sua autonomia pessoal.
El objetivo del presente artículo es identificar las violaciones a derechos humanos más frecuentes perpetradas contra los reclusos pertenecientes a la comunidad LGBT por parte del personal penitenciario. A su vez, explicar de acuerdo con lo establecido en la legislación nacional e internacional, la responsabilidad del Estado frente a vulneraciones causadas a los detenidos debido a su orientación sexual o identidad de género, la obligación que tienen los centros de detención, como responsables de la ejecución de la pena, de asegurar un trato basado en la dignidad humana con perspectiva en derechos humanos. En consecuencia, se busca proporcionar algunas recomendaciones basadas en los estándares de tratamiento penitenciario.
The Trouble With The Binary was created to exemplify the ideas of gender performativity and the gender binary, originally expressed in Judith Butler's Gender Trouble. I created a handmade zine to pay homage to the impact of activist zines as political tools and creative outlets in earlier waves of feminism. Elements of text, photos, and illustrations point to the main takeaways of each additional article, and delve into how performativity affects a variety of subjects: motherhood, LGBT youth, disabled identity, drag performance, non-binary identity, and the academic self. This project showcases various applications and real-world impacts of her theories. Faculty Mentor: Kathryn Holland Department: Sociology
In this text, based on the analysis of Os serões do Convento (1862), the concept of literature for the hand is introduced to discuss the pornographic literature that circulated between Brazil and Portugal. For that, the language, the place of the work in the Brazilian and Portuguese literary historiographies and LGBT, its anticlericalism, its intertextualities, the resonances of the book in other literary texts and its problematic authorship are analyzed. Also, the anticlericalism, the intertextuality, its resonances in other literary texts are indicated and its questionable authorship. Finally, we discuss too, the role of literary criticism in the approach of texts whose characters escape the paradigms of heteronormativity and cisgenerity.
RESUMO Este trabalho visa a compreender uma política pública de equidade em saúde relativa às sexualidades que se desviam da heterossexualidade compulsória, em um contexto de crise democrática. Para isso, toma-se a teoria queer para analisar, à luz de categorias como poder, resistência e transgressão, o que está por traz do contexto discursivo da política de atenção à saúde da população de Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais e Transexuais (LGBT), produzindo uma tensão entre norma, direito e participação social. É percebido que, em uma perspectiva queer, a instabilidade das identidades e a compreensão das redes de poder no interior das práticas de saúde podem fornecer condições de resistências mesmo em situações de crise do Estado democrático.
Resumo Com o intuito de contribuir para a reflexão mais geral sobre as articulações entre ciência e política, discuto neste artigo como, na prática, se constrói o conhecimento dos antropólogos que, em contínuo trânsito pelas fluidas fronteiras entre o ativismo LGBT e a reflexão acadêmica, tornaram-se atores importantes no processo de cidadanização da homossexualidade no Brasil. Tomo como referência dois contextos históricos distintos. O primeiro deles situa-se entre finais dos anos 1970 e meados dos anos 1980, quando o movimento começa a se organizar no Brasil. O segundo, no qual se desenvolve minha própria experiência de pesquisa, corresponde, grosso modo, à primeira década dos anos 2000.
This article looks at the "coming out" category in a broad political sense as the work of making the particular subject positions of LGBT minorities legible to those subjects themselves and to the public at large. Coming out thus understood includes, but is not limited to, the rhetorical act of announcing one's sexual identity; it likewise includes aesthetic representations such as memoirs and films. This broad definition of coming out, based on Jacques Rancière's political philosophy, enables a comparison between the political‑cum‑aesthetic work of sexual minorities in the US, especially after the Stonewall Inn riots and up to the AIDS epidemic and its aftermath, and some developments in post‑1989 Poland.
Sur le thème « lesbianisme et maternité », le discours militant s'est totalement transformé depuis les années 1970. A la posture radicale de résistance à la famille et à la procréation a succédé l'injonction de fonder une famille homoparentale. L'invocation par les associations LGBT d'une parentalité asexuée vise à dissimuler la dissymétrie fondamentale entre paternité et maternité. On relève néanmoins l'intériorisation par les lesbiennes des normes de la « bonne mère », opposée au caractère peu contraignant de la paternité gay. En jouant sur les antinomies sexualité/maternité et similarité/désir, l'icône des « deux mamans au bébé » efface l'éros lesbien. Cette promotion d'une maternité cache-sexe contribue donc à l'invisibilisation des lesbiennes.
The Kitzinger and Wilkinson's ASAP paper serves as the foundation for this discussion of the same‐sex marriage construct. The major focus of this discussion is, "What needs to occur in order for ecological validity to be achieved?" First, there needs to be some concerted attention paid to the entire spectrum of close relationships (at both the positive and the negative end of the continuum) before the same‐sex marriage construct is fully embraced. Next, some attention needs to be paid to the diversity of viewpoints/beliefs/attitudes that exists concerning same‐sex marriage within the ethnically and culturally diverse LGBT communities.
Cette thèse de doctorat étudie les mouvements LGBT en Belgique, en France et en Espagne à travers une double comparaison (entre les cas et à travers le temps) qui intègre également les échanges et influences transnationaux et internationaux. Elle examine l'émergence et le développement de la revendication d'ouverture du mariage civil aux couples de même sexe dans ces pays, analysant les convergences en termes de contenu des demandes et de timing des mobilisations. Par conséquent, elle porte sur des convergences au niveau des mouvements sociaux, à l'inverse de la majeure partie de la littérature, qui se concentre sur les convergences de politiques publiques. Cette situation impose de construire une grille d'analyse basée sur la littérature sur les mouvements sociaux, les politiques publiques et les relations internationales (influence des normes internationales). Le développement des revendications relatives au droit au mariage a été retracé de manière généalogique depuis la fin des années 1980. La comparaison repose sur la méthode du most different systems design et un travail empirique important combinant analyse documentaire et entretiens a été réalisé. Cette thèse confirme l'importance de l'étude des échanges et des influences internationaux et transnationaux pour comprendre la politique domestique et insiste sur l'influence cruciale du réseautage transnational sur les revendications des mouvements sociaux. Elle révèle aussi quelques cas de diffusion entre mouvements sociaux et montre comment des caractéristiques et des contraintes communes peuvent inciter les mouvements sociaux à formuler des revendications similaires. Par ailleurs, les discours en faveur du droit au mariage ont été analysés avec soin. L'émergence de cette revendication a aussi été mise en perspective sur le plan historique, ce qui implique de réfléchir aux modalités de transformation des mouvements LGBT au cours des trente dernières années. Pour terminer, la notion de citoyenneté sexuelle a été interrogée et la manière dont l'accès à la ...
Amphibious Subjects is an ethnographic study of a community of self-identified effeminate men— known in local parlance as sasso—residing in coastal Jamestown, a suburb of Accra, Ghana's capital. Drawing on the Ghanaian philosopher Kwame Gyekye's notion of "amphibious personhood," Kwame Edwin Otu argues that sasso embody and articulate amphibious subjectivity in their self-making, creating an identity that moves beyond the homogenizing impulses of Western categories of gender and sexuality. Such subjectivity unsettles claims made by both the Christian heteronationalist state and LGBT+ human rights organizations that Ghana is predominantly heterosexual or homophobic. Weaving together personal interactions with sasso, participant observation, autoethnography, archival sources, essays from African and African-diasporic literature, and critical analyses of documentaries such as the BBC's The World's Worst Place to Be Gay, Amphibious Subjects is an ethnographic meditation on how Africa is configured as the "heart of homophobic darkness" in transnational LGBT+ human rights imaginaries. "This book is a powerful synthesis of African theorization and rigorous fieldwork that presents an engaging and convincing read of a location. Kwame Edwin Otu's work is not simply meaningful for Jamestown, Accra, Ghana, or West Africa; it has real import elsewhere while remaining committed to its locality and subjects, a rare feat." T. J. Tallie, author of Queering Colonial Natal: Indigeneity and the Violence of Belonging in Southern Africa "A unique project based on groundbreaking research. There is no other work that gives such elegant insight into the multifarious desires of queer life—in an African city or anywhere. Otu convincingly shows how simplistic identity categories are confounded by the fluidities and illegibilities of lived queer experience." Jesse Weaver Shipley, Professor of African and African American Studies and Oratory, Dartmouth College
