International audience ; For about ten years now, transgender women's organizations in Bolivia have been holding beauty pageants. Inspired by the conventional Miss competitions, the aim of these contests is to assert the existence and claim the rights of another category of women. For the participants, these events represent nothing less than a political university; getting up on stage is also a milestone in the journey that leads from hiding to a publicly embraced identity as a trans woman. Nevertheless, the desire to be recognized as equal in beauty and femininity to a Miss limits the possibility of questioning the hegemonic man/woman binary. Thus, in a similar way to the indigenous Miss pageants, the transgender contests seem permeated by the tension between the reproduction of certain means of oppression and a genuinely subversive project. ; Desde las pasarelas de los concursos de belleza: producirse como mujer transgenero en Bolivia Desde hace unos diez años, las organizaciones de mujeres transgenero de Bolivia auspician concursos de belleza.

Objective. This study describes and analyzes the relationship between political ideology, the intolerance of ambiguity, homophobia and prejudice against transgender groups in a sample of university students and graduates from the city of Lima (N = 144). Method. A quantitative descriptive-correlational study was carried out. Spanish translated versions of RWA and SDO scales were used. Also were used an adapted version of MSTAT-II (Tolerance of Ambiguity Scale) and a version of the Modern Homophobia Scale (MHS) validated for university students in the city of Lima. Results. A direct relationship was found between RWA, SDO, intolerance of ambiguity, homophobia and prejudice against certain transgender groups (transvestites and transsexuals). A multiple linear regression model suggests that RWA and intolerance of ambiguity, combined, could be applicable predictors of homophobic attitudes. Conclusion. Based on the results, it is possible to verify that there is a relationship between psychological variables that express a conservative political ideology and prejudice towards homosexuals and transgender groups, to the extent they could be considered by the most conservative individuals as very ambiguous social stimuli. ; Objetivo. Este estudio describe y analiza la relación entre la ideología política, la intolerancia a la ambigüedad, la homofobia y el prejuicio hacia los grupos transgénero en una muestra de estudiantes y egresados universitarios de la ciudad de Lima (N = 144). Método. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo-correlacional en el cual se utilizaron versiones adaptadas al español de las escalas RWA, SDO, Mstat-II (Escala de Tolerancia a la Ambigüedad), y una versión de la escala de Homofobia Moderna (MHS) validada en población universitaria de Lima. Resultados. Se encontró una relación directa entre el RWA, la SDO, la intolerancia a la am bigüedad, la homofobia y el prejuicio hacia determinados grupos transgénero (travestis y transexuales). Un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple propone que determinados niveles en RWA y en intolerancia a la ambigüedad pueden ser buenos predictores de actitudes homofóbicas. Conclusión. Se ha podido constatar que existe una relación entre las variables psicológicas que expresan una ideología política conservadora y el prejuicio hacia los homosexuales y hacia los grupos transgénero, en la medida en que son considerados por las personas más conservadoras como estímulos sociales muy ambiguos. ; Escopo. Este estudo descreve e analisa a relação entre ideologia política, intolerância à ambiguidade, homofobia e prejuízo para os grupos transgender numa amostra de estudantes e graduados universitários da cidade de Lima (N=144). Metodologia. Foi realizado um estudo quantitativo de tipo descritivo- co relacional no qual foram utilizados versões adaptadas ao espanhol das escalas RWA, SDO, MSTAT-II (Escala de Tolerância à ambiguidade) e uma versão da escala de Homofobia Moderna (MHS) validada em população universitária de Lima. Resultados. Foi achada uma relação direta entre o RWA, a SDO, a intolerância à ambiguidade, a homofobia e o prejuízo para determinados grupos transgender (travestis e transexuais). Um modelo de regressão lineal múltipla propõe que determinados níveis em RWA e em intolerância à ambiguidade podem ser bons preditores de atitudes de homofobia. Conclusão. Foi constatada uma relação entre as variáveis psicológicas que expressam uma ideologia política conservadora e o prejuízo para os homossexuais e para os grupos transgender, na medida em que são considerados pelas pessoas mais conservadoras como estímulos sociais muito ambíguos.

In a world governed by gender binarity, literature tends to represent and stage characters fin binary terms. But what happens when a novelist decides to center his/her story around a dissident of gender? Starting from this question, our research strives to question transgender practices in the modern novel and, for one of the texts in the corpus at least, in postmodernity through an examination of Our Lady Of The Flowers from Jean Genet (1943) to My Tender Matador by Pedro Lemebel (2001) through Hell Has No Limits by José Donoso (1966) and Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr. (1964). If the nodal point of these four works is indeed the representation of transgender practices (clothing, gestures, artistic performances), these works also question trans materialities, i.e. the way in which the body modulates and models itself in light of the twists that it is subjected to. In three of the works in this corpus, the queer body is a senescent body, so queer aging is tinged with a morbidity that we must place in a specific historical context. If the third age intersects with the third sex, it is perhaps a way of signifying the unlivable nature of queer materialities – and identities. The transvestite body is first of all an impossible body. But from occupied France to Pinochet's Chile, the transvestite body not only embodies transgender and homosexual morbidity but also the decay of a world structured by the binary distribution of the sexes. In each of the novels, drag should not be read as an intimate practice but as an irreducibly political one. The transvestite, like it or not, is saying something about the polis. In more than one way, it embodies the disguise of all, a universal social truth. By focusing on the practices and performances of a dissident of gender – Divine in Genet, la Manuela in Donoso, Georgette in Selby Jr. and la Loca del frente in Lemebel –, the authors are primarily interested in the way in which their drag radiates on their audience, on the decaying social body that welcomes them – and ...

International audience ; The author of this article proposes to shift the focus usually placed on the conflict of patients toward the subjectivity of the clinician. He thus questions his identity as a metapsychologically oriented psychotherapist and his counter-trans-ferential challenges in working with transgender adults in an institutional setting. By narrating the vicissitudes of the psychoanalytical psychotherapy of David, a composite case stemming from the treatment of several individuals with atypical gender identifications, the author describes the various means of clinical metare-flection that he considered in order to adjust his stance, which was systematically compromised by the patient's issues as well as his own prejudices and unconscious reactions. He further describes how the contemporary context of trans identities shaped by activism and political correctness is likely to hamper the analytical vocation to explore the unconscious, which is intrinsically a-normative and politically incorrect. ; L'auteur de cet article se propose de déplacer le curseur habituellement mis sur la conflictualité des patient/e/s vers la subjectivité du/de la clinicien/ne. Il interroge ainsi son identité de psychothérapeute orienté par la métapsychologie et ses défis contre-transférentiels dans le cadre de son travail en institution avec des adultes transgenres. En narrant les vicissitudes de la psychothérapie psychanaly-tique de David, patient composite pensé à partir des cures de plusieurs sujets aux identifications de genre atypiques, il esquisse les divers moyens de métaréflexion clinique qu'il a envisagés afin d'ajuster sa position, systématiquement compromise par les problématiques identitaires du patient, ainsi que par ses propres préjugés et réactions inconscientes. Il décrit en outre comment le contexte contemporain des transidentités marqué par l'activisme et la rectitude politique est susceptible d'entraver la vocation analytique consubstantielle à l'exploration de l'inconscient par définition a-normatif et ...

International audience ; La médiatisation des politiques transgenres est récente. Les études qui portent sur cet objet de recherche montrent que les discours des trans peinent à être médiatisés, encore plus lorsqu'ils sont critiques. Toutefois, les discours les plus consensuels sont eux largement valorisés. En effet, il existe deux courants distincts et parfois en conflit au sein des politiques trans. Le premier plaide pour l'intégration tandis que le second refuse ouvertement de s'inscrire dans les rapports sexe/genre. Toutefois, ces deux courants se retrouvent autour de dénonciations d'assimilations au cabaret et à la prostitution. Nous étudierons l'un des objets de ces dénonciations, la médiatisation du bois de Boulogne, à travers un corpus d'émissions télévisées constitué à l'INA. Nous montrerons que la construction de figures archétypales consensuelles pose la question de leur interprétation/construction (une co-écriture) par les médias, le grand public et les personnes concernées. S'attacher à comprendre les mécanismes de pouvoir et de domination à l'œuvre dans la médiatisation des politiques trans (le montrable et l'in-montrable) - et leurs influences sur les contre-publics transidentitaires - nous engage également à penser le sujet politique trans.

International audience ; In 1982, Professor René Küss made a televised call for a defined procedure to distinguish between "real" and "false" trans people: stating that people who are "real transgender" cause no disorder to the gender order ; they can be afforded exceptional assistance (an operation) through which men can become women and women can become men, bringing them into the gender and identity order. This was the one of the first expressions of what we propose to call the "therapeutic shield", an expression which highlights the ambiguity of the position he defended. During the three following decades we observe a confrontation between the need for self-affirmation by those identifying as trans and the dominant ideology of thosepromoting "treatments". Positioning themselves under the umbrella of the Gender Studies movement, people who are transgender and who are not covered by the therapeutic procedure set up a broad social, political and philosophical protest movement, whereas the "treaters" defended their status and expertise as doctors and "professionals". Is this "therapeutic shield", still used today as a device to legitimize the ancient order, not the last remnant of an era marked by the erosion of a second "legal shield" guaranteeing that free disposal of the civil status remains a unique legal exception? Such issues deeply question the lenses through which our societies represent themselves. Perhaps the time has come to free up the route traced by social and human science research in order to allow new paradigms envisioned by Gender Studies to emerge. ; En 1982, le professeur René Küss plaide à la télévision pour un protocole appelant à distinguer entre " vrais " et " faux " trans' : de" vrais trans' " ne causent aucun trouble dans le genre ; on leur accorde une aide exceptionnelle (l'opération) par laquelle - hommes devenus femmes ou femmes devenues hommes - ils rentrent dans l'ordre du genre et de l'identité.
