Full textThe following dissertation explores the work of french writer, Violette Leduc through Judith Butlers definition for both gender performativity and performance notions. The investigations core is the part such notions play in Leducs work, especially her autobiographical trilogy, which comprehends the novels La bâtarde, La folie en tête and La chasse à lamour. This research views Leducs work from the feminist criticism perspective, with special attention to queer studies (but without losing account of the critical thinking that preceded it). The result is an literary analysis that transforms into a discussion of various themes, such as power, genders, sexualities and the different potentials for literary language. Leducs autobiographical protagonist-narrators constantly address Leducs own literary work and claim their ownership over it: they rewrite Leducs fiction and also denounce their creative strategies as well as her impasses with literary writing. The result is a narrator that destabilizes Violette Leducs work, persistently transforming it. Beyond that, in the leducian literature there is a recurrent interrogation of social, political and cultural structures that regulate genders, desires and sexual practices. Lesbianhood, bissexuality, heterossexuality, feminility and masculinity as well as desire and its practical potentialities are themes explored throughout the entire autobiographical trilogy and also in the fictional work. Such inquiries result in transformations on the very literary writing, revealing a key aspect of Leducs literature: the symbiotic relationship established between creation (performance) and citation (performativity).

Full textPraxis queer questions the use of artistic practices in queer activism. The reflection is organized around three lines of thought : artistic, militant, and daily life resistance. The artistic axis analyses the techniques of self-invention and subversion of corporal, sexual and gender norms. Activists establish games between performativity and performance. The militant axis highlights the use of art as a tool of queer activism, which interrogates the strategies of struggle and the political efficiency of art. The third axis focuses on daily life resistance practices. These practices are analysed from both a micropolitical and artistic performance point of view, questioning the limits of art. Some cross-disciplinary themes can be found in these three areas : performance, the issue of archives in queer struggles, the militant use of new technologies and the figure of the cyborg. New issues of queer activism, such as effects, ecology and anticapitalism, are discussed. This thesis is a militant act. It is dedicated to academics as well as activists and is a personal involvement. It is based on interviews with activists from France and Spain. These interviews are analysed in such a way that it enhances militant knowledge and put it in parallel with the "legitimate" knowledge represented by authors such as Judith Butler, Jack Halberstam, Paul Preciado or Amelia Jones. The tools of art history are used to analyse militant actions. The political or militant dimension of works is systematically analysed

The present dissertation also studies the history of the research field that observes the understanding of gender in the history of Brazilian legislation (such as the Statue of Married Women and the Maria da Penha Statute). The work also presents the courts understanding of laws that interprets gender issues and shows the daily clash of law and everyday meaning of gender. Finally, the dissertation shows the experience in the case-by-case research, seeking to demonstrate what happens to legal issues concerning gender that are represented by G8- Generalizando. That way the thesis demonstrates the different meanings of gender on different levels of society and the problem that it brings to the legal system.

Full textFeminisms, queer theory, and crip theory allow denaturalizing categories of bodily standarization (feminine/masculine; ability/disability; homosexual/heterosexual; healthy/sick) and identify them within body regulation systems: hetero-patriarchy and ableism. These systems feed back when it comes to marking people with functional diversity as ‘invalid’ bodies: 'disabled' and 'degenderized'. However, they do not act in a flawless and totalizing way, but in their own repetition they inevitably lead to disruptions, errors, transformations. Starting from this perspective, this doctoral thesis analyses the production of the categories of gender and (dis)ability in people with functional diversity, and their possibilities of subversion. For this, ethnographic research has been carried out, in which the participant observation has been combined with bodily itineraries and in-depth interviews. The different research techniques used, as well as their sharing with secondary sources of information, have led to the development of methodological triangulation (Denzin and Lincoln, 2011). The fieldwork, the analysis of empirical material and its subsequent dissemination have been guided by feminist epistemology and its defence of reflexivity, intersectionality, and situated knowledge (Haraway, 1988). Ethnography has taken place in a privileged context - Barcelona during the second decade of the 21st century - in which independent living activism was undergoing a change of repertoire that came to place the body and sexuality as centres of epistemic production, practice political and identity construction for people with functional diversity. The investigation leads to the conclusion that gender and (dis)ability are incarnated experiences, incorporated in the processes of socialization and, at the same time, reinforced performatively. Femininity, like masculinity, is a doing, a doing that requires physical autonomy, a specific body hexis and certain abilities - motor, sensory, cognitive - to be correctly performed. This doctoral thesis shows how functional diversity can subvert these logics of body regulation when it is articulated politically. The 'cripple-trans-feminist' alliances have been able to optimize this potential by recognising their (im)pertinent bodies.

Full textDen här doktorsavhandlingen handlar om geopolitik i feministisk kunskap och bildkonstens roll i förståelse och omskapande av postsocialistiska feministiska föreställningar. Dess huvudsakliga fokus handlar om att bestrida den i västerländsk feministisk teori ofta förekommande fantasin om att före detta Östeuropa på olika sätt ”släpar efter” i relation till väst. Doktorsavhandlingen utforskar dessa föreställningar på mikronivå då den zoomar in på det djupt personliga och politiska bildkonstarbete utfört av den samtida feministiska och självidentifierat lesbiska estniska konstnärinnan Anna-Stina Treumund. Avhandlingens partiella fokus på Treumunds fotografier i form av självporträtt möjliggör för oss att få inblick i de intensiteter och specifika förhållanden som utgör en individuell erfarenhet av att befinna sig i det postsocialistiska rummet. Genomgående i doktorsavhandlingen används det virvlande subjektet som feministisk figuration. Figurationen innebär simultant en referens till den förkroppsligade och den relationella aspekten av kunskapssystem och skapande av världen. Med utgångspunkt i postsocialistiska, postkoloniala, queera och feministiska studier av visuell kultur argumenterar författaren att Treumunds bildkonst alltid redan är inbäddad i en lokal kontext, detta sedan den växer fram ur och problematiserar de diskussioner som pågår mellan feministiska generationer, i teori, aktivism och bland konstutövare. Genom att kombinera närläsning av Treumunds konstnärliga arbete med samtida teoretisk debatt inom feministiska studier, med möten med konstnärinnan, och med självbiografiska berättelser, försäkrar denna avhandling: det finns ingen “eftersläpning”. Än mer väsentligt är att betona att det är av yttersta etisk och politisk vikt att ägna mer uppmärksamhet åt geopolitiska lokaliseringar som skillnadsskapande faktor i samtida feministisk teoribildning.

Full textPh.D.
In this study, I use social constructionist feminist and queer theory and narrative analysis to identify messages about gender, sexuality, and sexual violence in both the book versions and film adaptations of The Hunger Games trilogy, the Divergent trilogy, and the Vampire Academy series. These three series are representative of a major pop culture trend in which young adult novels are not only popular and financially successful, but in which these types of novels are being adapted into major films. In this study, I demonstrate that the book and film series all generally privilege whiteness, able-bodiedness, and heterosexuality, and in doing so, these texts reproduce a narrow worldview and privilege normative ways of knowing and being. However, while the films strictly reinforce normative understandings of gender, sexuality, and sexual violence, each book series reimagines gender in important ways, disrupts normative scripts that denigrate women’s ownership over their sexuality, and represents sexual violence in graphic but not exploitative ways that portray the real life consequences and complexity of sexual violence. My analysis of these texts reveals that the book series employ a variety of mechanisms that empower the women protagonists including establishing their narrative agency and representing them as gender fluid, while the film series utilize a variety of mechanisms that both objectify and superficially empower women including an emphasis on women’s sexualized physical bodies especially in times of vulnerability, the pronunciation of “natural” sexual differences, and the strict regulation of women’s bodies by dominantly masculine men. I argue that the significant alteration of the books’ original messages are a product of logistical, historical, cultural, and economic elements of the film industry, which has continually constructed women’s roles in terms of their sexual availability, victimization, and need to be rescued by heroic men. In this study, I address the institutional imperatives of the film industry that dictate specific representations of gender, sexuality, and sexual violence, and I address what these representations might mean for audiences.

Full textEn el tema de la prostitución, es cada vez más importante la tendencia hacia un discurso sobre el trabajo sexual, donde la venta de sexo y servicios sexuales se consiederan como una forma de trabajo erótico y emocional. El discurso emergió como consecuencia de la organización de las trabajadoras sexuales dentro de sindicatos y grupos de derechos ciudadanos. En Argentina, los primeros pasos hacia la representación de los intereses de las trabajadoras sexuales, fueron a principios de la década de los 90. Gradualmente, el movimiento social de las trabajadoras sexuales ha crecido dentro del sindicato Ammar (Asociación de Mujereres Meretrices de Argentina) que activamente busca reconocimiento por los derechos económicos, laborales y sociales de las trabajadoras. Aunque la compra-venta de servicios sexuales es legal desde principios del siglo XX, los derechos de las prostitutas han sido reprimidos hasta ahora. En 2010, Argentina promulgó el Protocolo Palermo, como ley federal 26.364, en la Convención de las Naciones Unidas, para combatir el tráfico de humanos. La ley reafirmó las políticas encaminadas a la abolición de la prostitución, que sistemáticamente marginalizó la mala situación del colectivo. Relacionar sus servicios con el contexto del tráfico humano ha agudizado la estigmatización social de las trabajadoras sexuales. Para luchar contra la violencia institucional y la discriminación social, Ammar presentó un proyecto de ley el 2013. La reforma pide al Estado de Argentina que reconozca el trabajo sexual como una forma legítima de trabajo, asegurando así, los derechos laborales y sociales de las trabajadoras sexuales. Esta tesis contribuye al discurso mencionado anteriormente sobre el trabajo sexual, analizando la agnecia de las trabajadoras sexuales argentinas. Basado en estudios de campo cualitativos, llevado a cabo en 2014 en Argentina y utilizando metodología cualitativa y feminista, mi objetivo es estudiar como el movimiento contra-cultural de las trabajadoras sexuales redefine su ciudadanía. Para construir un marco teórico para el caso de estudio, voy a utilizar el paradigma de Giorgio Agamben sobre el “estado de excepción” y complementar sus aportaciones con teoría feminista, que ha reevaluado radicalmente el concepto de ciudadanía. La conclusión es que, aunque los requerimientos de las trabajadoras sexuales argentinas para la igualdad de derechos pueden ser incipientes, reclaman la urgente inclusión de diferentes tipos de sexualidad y articulación de género al discurso de ciudadanía.

Full textThe focus of study of this research are the current representations of gender and sexuality in a group of young people belonging to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, as well as how these young people deal with such Catholic discourses. I sought to direct the analysis toward the different resources used by the Charismatic Renewal to question and teach the youth about the ways of being and acting. This investigation was based on the fields of the Post-Structuralist Cultural Studies, Feminist, Gay and Lesbian Studies and Queer Theory, in addition to some resources used by ethnography for the production and analysis of the information herein. The constitution of the corpus of analysis was made through the observation carried out in the group, the analysis of a number of texts and documents produced by the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, and the individual and collective conversations with the young people who belong to the Nascer group. It was my goal to provide some clues concerning the ways the sexuality, the body and the genders have been comprehended in that space and then indicate the necessity to bring such issues to the environments where we act as teachers and educators, since they are closely involved with the formation and constitution of the subjects. I think that problematizing certain discourses spread by the Catholic culture may contribute so that one can think / conceive the body, the gender and the sexuality in different ways in our society.

Full textConsidering that both music and school contribute to the constitution of our identities, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the discourses of bachelor in music education students about gender and sexuality diversity, and its relations with music. More specifically, it aimed: to identify/make visible meanings of gender and sexuality that are being shared, naturalised, and legitimated; to identify/make visible how those meanings circulate; and to identify/make visible by whom these meanings are shared. Adopting a qualitative approach, the empirical material was produced through semi-structured interviews with four music education students from four higher education institutions from Curitiba-PR, Brazil. The empirical material was analysed using some of the strategies of grounded theory and further interpreted based on ideas from the field of feminist studies and the queer theory. The meanings shared by the music education students revealed divergent ways of making sense of gender and sexuality diversity, ways that locate people in distinct places. To recognize these divergent ways of sense making is to assume that, in the representation networks, “reality” will have multiple versions and the processes of knowing are socially and culturally constructed. The knowledge that constitutes the students’ systems of meaning about gender and sexuality diversity was not recognized as being constructed through their undergraduate courses. The silence about the interaction between music, gender and sexuality in the higher education settings goes through the students’ perception. This silence configures a discourse that makes invisible other ways of being beyond the hetero-cis-normative matrix.

Full textThis analysis aims at denouncing the original myths of the feminine and the masculine, inherited of the sexual cultural politics uprighted in the crucible of the colonial encounter. The study of A Married Woman (Manju Kapur), Babyji (Abha Dawesar), Indian Tango (Ananda Devi), three novels presenting lesbianism as a feminist strategy of emancipation, allows to excavate various discursive dynamics, to exploit the concept of representation, and to interrogate the preexisting categories. These three novels are indeed written by women belonging to the Indo-Hindu culture, and offer heroines with troubling similarities: Brahmines, Delhiites and dissatisfied with the repressions and inertia of their gender. The heteropatriarcal prejudice suffocates the individuals tackled at the intersection of their several and overlapping identity belongings: gender, culture, sexuality… These heroines’ paths hence follow an evolution interrogating the patriarchal inventions of the Indo-Hindu woman’s identity. Beyond the exposition and accusation of its essentialization’s deviations, it is its transgression which is dazzling, because it is sexual and lesbian, introducing the possibilities of an alterity, an alternative, a different becoming. These texts thus question the poetry and efficiency of a lesbian aesthetic, the demiurge validity of a lesbian utopia, and the symbolism of a pattern unifying the paper women and the women writers in a positioning rejecting the implicit subalternity of oppressive and obsolete categories. By getting a hold of ipseity, these narrations introduce a queer poetic defying determinisms, crystallizations, norms and hierarchies. They open to radical and multiple possibilities of living and creating, indicating the materiality of subversive marginalities which problematize the very notion of individual, envisioned in its hypermodern perspective

Full textSOME LIKE IT HOT: female bodies in the cinema screens has like theme the female body thought through scenes cut four movies out: Some Like It Hot (United States, 1959), directed by Billy Wilder; Transamerica (United States, 2005), by Duncan Tucker; Elvis & Madonna (Brasil,2010), by Marcelo Laffitte and La Piel que Habito (Espanha, 2011), by Pedro Almodóvar. The cinema, taken up as one of the critical spaces to explore the discourses about femininity, not only teaches the ways of experiencing it, but is a powerful space to think the sexuality and gender positions of the characters that are in the screens. So, the movies constitute a powerful instrument to suspend these same gender and sexuality positions that often establish hierarchies, binaries and tautologies between genders. Thus, this research was mobilized mainly by the following question: How dislocate through scenes of four movies the relations between femininity, body, biopower and truth? Therefore, this research was inserted in the poststructuralist analysis field. To think the female body, was adopted the Gender Studies and Queer Theory , close of Judith Butler and Michel Foucault theories, as well as, it was done some approaches to the Cultural Studies. As to methodological strategy, it was proposed a ‘scenes ethnocartography’, which is a compilation of the ‘screen ethnography’ and cartography. With the theoretical references adopted, the analytical perspective chosen and the scenes cut movies out it was possible to set four axes of analysis. In a first axis, I thought the way of female characters are manufactured in the cinema screens through lighting and colors techniques as well as the codes that governing the film industry. In a second axis, I discussed the female body as an effect of speeches. In the third axis of analysis, I discussed the articulation of the femininity with a neoliberal way of being in the world. In the last axis of analysis, I discussed the body ‘pedophilization’. Thus, the femininity was taken as a ‘biopolitics fiction’, because it can be changing from one culture to another, from one epoch to another, as to be effect of discourses, practices and knowledge.
