Abstract:

Resumen: El lesbianismo feminista, como corrienteteórico-política del feminismo ha propuesto analizar laheterosexualidad, como un régimen político, más quecomo una práctica sexual, basado en la ideología de ladiferencia sexual como su base ontológica. A través deun análisis crítico del discurso, esta tesis muestra comoeste régimen se articula a la nación, concretamente, en laConstitución Política de Colombia de 1991, su ley suprema.Apoyada además en las teorías de la antropología dela mujer, del género y feminista, la antropología políticay la teoría marxista, desde el concepto de hegemoníade Antonio Gramsci, la autora muestra, por medio delanálisis de las categorías mujer, hombre, familia, parentesco,nacionalidad, entre otras, cómo este régimen estácontenido en los discursos escritos y jurídicos tanto deltexto constitucional, como de los argumentos emitidos porlos y las constituyentes en la Asamblea Nacional Constituyenteque dio origen a la Carta Magna. Propone lo quedenomina Antropología de la Dominación que consiste endevelar las formas, maneras, estrategias, discursos quevan definiendo a ciertos grupos sociales como “otros” y“otras” (sobre todo a las mujeres y las lesbianas) desdelugares de poder y dominación.Palabras claves: Heterosexualidad, nación, constitución,lesbianismo, feminismo.The heterosexual regime and the nation. Contributions of feminist lesbianism to antropologyAbstract: Lesbian feminism, as a theoretical politicaltrend of feminism, has suggested analyzing heterosexualityas a political regime, based on the ideology of sexualdifference as its ontological grounding. Through criticaldiscourse analysis, this thesis shows how this regime articulatesitself with the nation, especially in the PoliticalConstitution of Colombia of 1991, its supreme law. Basingas well on the theories of women, gender and feministanthropology, political anthropology and marxist theory,specifically from Antonio Gramci’s concept of hegemony,the authoress shows- through analysis of categories suchus women, man, family, kinship and nationality, amongothers- how this regime is included in the written andlegal discourses both in the constitutional text and in thearguments expressed by constituents at the National ConstituentAssembly that led to the Magna Carta. The authorproposes what she calls Domination Anthropology, whichconsists in uncovering the ways, strategies and discoursesthat define certain social groups as “others” (specially womenand lesbians) from power and domination positions.Key words: Nation, heterosexuality, feminism,lesbianism, constitution.

Abstract:

The issue of drug abuse and the resultant effects has been on the limelight in recent times.Hence, this paper examined from drug abuse to lesbianism: an educational undertone. The paper highlighted the meaning of drugs and what constitutes drug abuse. It identified the ever several dangers associated with drug abuse in tertiary institutions in Nigeria, where lesbianism was spotted as a major fallout of the negative impacts of drugs on female undergraduates.Furthermore, the act of lesbianism was evaluated, where the modus operandi and factors of the lesbians were showcased. In the end, the paper conceived some therapy that could help in the curtailing or eradicating of this menace in our institutions of higher learning. Among the recommendations of the paper were that every management of tertiary institutions must recognize this as a time bomb waiting for explosion and that sex education should be institutionalized as a GST or GNS course for all freshmen in our institutions. This would go a long way in checkmating this time bomb from exploding.

Abstract:

AbstractIn recent years scholars have shown increasing interest in lesbianism under National Socialism. But because female homosexuality was never criminalized in Nazi Germany, excluding Austria, historians have few archival sources through which to recount this past. That lack of evidence has led to strikingly different interpretations in the scholarly literature, with some historians claiming lesbians were a persecuted group and others insisting they were not. This article presents three archival case studies, each of which epitomizes a different mode in the relationship between lesbians and the Nazi state. In presenting these cases, the article contextualizes them with twenty-seven other cases from the literature, arguing that these different modes illustrate why different women met with such radically different fates. In so doing, it attempts to bridge the divide in the scholarship, putting persecution and tolerance into a single frame of reference for understanding the lives of lesbians in the Third Reich.

Abstract:

Media representation of heterosexual alternatives is particularly salient for young people negotiating sexuality, more so for those with limited access to other cultural resources to inform their homosexual understandings. With the centrality of media as resource in mind, we present in this article findings from our focus group research with 25 high school students aged 16—18 in which we invited them to discuss representations of homosexuality in the media. Our analyses, which focus here on lesbian sexuality, used a thematic discursive approach. We found constructions of lesbianism as `heteroflexible', `hot' and experimental to be common patterns in participants' talk, whereas notions of lesbian desire were largely silenced. While most of the talk drew on heteronormativity, we found small pockets of its deconstruction in mobilization of alternative discourses and rejection of sexual categories.

Abstract:

This study is an examination of the identity formation of lesbians in sport and how lesbians interpreted the softball environment with regard to social support and the ability to be open about their lesbianism. Twenty four women on summer slow pitch softball teams, and 5 spectators, participated in qualitative interviews. Responses were consistent with a model of lesbian identity formation that included preconformist, conformist, post-conformist, lesbian conformist, and lesbian post-conformist levels. The support these women received from softball players helped them to come out to others and to enter the lesbian community.

Abstract:

The provocative and dynamic interrelationships between the social organization of sport, sexual orientation of women participants, and their concomitant perceptions and behavior represent a fertile area for social psychological research. Sport psychologists have largely avoided, through scholarly discourse, examining lesbianism in sport thereby perpetuating “the silence so loud that it screams.” The purpose of this paper is to identify the harmful intellectual and social consequences of this silence and to advance suggestions for future research directions based on emerging epistemology and theory. It is argued that if the silence is broken using depoliticized functionalist approaches such as sex-role identification and liberal humanism, this will only exacerbate the homophobia and heterosexism that hinders our intellectual pursuit of knowledge in this area and reify the heteropatricarchal oppression of lesbians participating in sport. The rigid socially-constructed isomorphism between sport and masculinity coupled with the social stigma of lesbianism within sport may only be transformed via a paradigmatic shift from traditional functionalism toward a social constructionist approach.

Abstract:

This study stems from the observation that lesbianism is fast creeping into Girls’ secondary schools in Nigeria. Using the ex-post facto research design, the study examined the influence of self-concept (moral and academic) on the acceptance of lesbianism tendency among 218 senior secondary school girls in Ovwie Local Government Area (LGA) of Delta State, Nigeria with a population of 2,112 senior secondary school girls. The respondents were randomly selected. The three research hypotheses formulated to guide this study were tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The instrument for data collection was the Self-concept and Acceptance of Lesbianism Tendency Questionnaire (SALTQ). The data were analyzed with the population and independent t-tests as the statistical tools. The results showed that the level of lesbianism tendency among senior secondary school girls in the study area was significantly high while a significant influence of moral and academic self-concepts on acceptance of lesbianism tendency was found to exist among the girls. Based on the findings, it was recommended that efforts should be made by the stakeholders of education to reduce the level of lesbianism among the senior secondary school girls by instituting programmes that sensitize them on the need to develop proper self-concept, the word of God and motivational talks can be appropriately used to encourage the development of moral concepts among the students, and self-concept enhancement programmes should be introduced in schools to enhance academic self-concept.

Abstract:

This article aims to explore the ḥadîth thematically on the act of lesbianism in the normative roots. The methods used are operationally by generating ḥadîths that are related to the topic, making typology, defining the primary ḥadîth, takhrîj, and analyzing it in textual and contextual perspective. This article finds that some ḥadîth which are talking straightly on lesbianism are narrated by al-Ṭabrânî. It suggests that the act of lesbianism is a sinful deeds that are similar to the act of sexual intercourse (zinâ). In the wide analysis, it can be noted that Islam does not give space for making it legal for the doers of lesbianism. It is not only because the act of lesbianism has been considered as deviation from the nature of human sexual orientation, but also because it certainly contradicts to the basic legal of human relation. Otherwise, there are ample of ḥ adîth giving instruction to prevent people from such action, that is by not to open and look at other human genitals (‘awrat), not to have body contact that arouse sexual desire, and to emerge awarness of sexual identity and sexs by not to follow the deeds or dressing the opposite gender clothes.

Abstract:

Lesbians are primarily residents of the Greek island of Lesbos. The term gained currency after Sappho, a poet from Lesbos around 600 BC, depicted the state of a female's blistering emotional and erotic lodestone toward another female [1]. While there has been an increase in tolerance and a decrease in discrimination in recent years, and some studies have been conducted on lesbianism and lesbian-related linguistic features, lesbianism and lesbian-related linguistic features have received significantly less attention than gay men's homosexuality [2]. Taking up this issue, this research is determined to elucidate the specific language variation used by the Bondowoso district's lesbian community. As the concept of lesbian-specific words is reformed and deconstructed, this investigation seeks to unearth the meaning of the language variety referred to as slang. Additionally, to complete this research, some sociological factors influencing the use of slang [3] are examined. The interview is conducted to elicit information about the sociological factors that contribute to speakers' use of slang in their community. The result indicates that the majority of slang words are derived from English and refer to gender roles, physical characteristics/appearance, types of relationships, and sexual activities. Bondowoso's lesbian community adapts slang terms used by lesbians worldwide phonologically. Sociological factors and reasons indicate that this queer society views self-identification as a lesbian as the most significant identity because it has ramifications for other attributions.

Abstract:

The study investigated the influence of physical and social self-concept on lesbianism tendency among senior secondary school girls in Uvwie Local Government Area (L.G.A) of Delta State, Nigeria. The ex-post facto research design was used for this study. Three research hypotheses were formulated to guide this study namely: 1. Physical self-concept does not significantly influence lesbianism tendencies among senior secondary school girls.2. Social self-concept does not significantly influence lesbianism tendencies among senior secondary school girls. The hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance. A sample of 218 senior secondary school girls was randomly selected from a population of 2,112 senior secondary school girls in Uvwie L.G.A. of Delta State, Nigeria. The Self-concept and Lesbianism Tendency Questionnaire (SLTQ) was the instrument for data collection. It was face-validated by two experts in Measurement and Evaluation and one expert in Guidance and Counselling at the University of Calabar, Nigeria. The reliability of the instrument was established through a trial test which yielded a Cronbach alpha reliability estimate of between 0.73 and 0.85 making the instrument to be deemed reliable. The independent t-test statistical technique was the statistical tool for data analysis. Findings revealed a significant influence of physical self-concept on lesbianism tendency and a significant influence of social self-concept on lesbianism tendency among the secondary school girls who participated in the study. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that professional counsellors should play a unique role in addressing issues related to sexual orientation while also making conscious efforts toward shaping the right behaviours.

Lesbodiskursseja tarkastelemme edelleen teoriavetoisen kriittisen lähiluvun avulla. Analyysi nostaa esiin keskusteluja, joissa heteronormatiivisuuden kautta määrittyvä lesbous voidaan kokea hyvinkin ristiriitaiseksi ja ahdistavaksi. Käyttämällä hyväksi lesbomatriisin ja lesbonormatiivisuuden käsitteitä osoitamme, kuinka sekä nais- että miesfeminiinistä lesboutta ja lesboparisuhteita koskevissa keskusteluissa nojataan yhtäältä normatiiviseen ajattelutapaan ja toisaalta haastetaan sitä.Avainsanat: lesbous, lesbonormatiivisuus, keskustelufoorumit, korpusavusteinen diskurssintutkimusCross pressured by lesbonormativity: Quantitative and qualitative analysis of online conversations on the Suomi24 discussion forumIn our article, we use statistical keyword analysis to identify typical lesbian discourses at the Suomi24 discussion forum. Contrary to gay discourses, they focus on sexual orientation, gender and looks. These lesbian discourses are further analyzed by critical close reading. The analysis highlights conversations in which lesbianism can feel extremely conflicting and distressing when defined in heteronormative terms. Moreover, by using the concepts of lesbian matrix and lesbonormativity, we show how discussions concerning both feminine and masculine appearing lesbians as well as lesbian relationships rely on normative thinking, while also challenging it.Keywords: lesbianism, lesbonormativity, discussion forums, corpus-assisted discourse studies

Abstract:

AbstractRepresentation of lesbian relations in Ming-Qing vernacular literature is foremost a male discourse. A close look into this discourse will help gauge the contemporary social stance, especially the male stance, towards lesbianism. This paper examines textual strategies and the narrative norm of portraying lesbian love and sex in twelve Ming-Qing texts. The normative pattern extracted from these texts suggests a consensus in the male position that favors suppression of lesbianism via trivializing or heterosexualizing passions and romance between women. Male writing on lesbianism thus seems to function as containment of homosexuality for the benefit of the institutions of heterosexual sex and marriage.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper investigates several meanings of (mis)recognition relevant to butch lesbians, using the work of butch writers on gender misrecognition, Judith Butler’s theorisation of hate speech, and Jessica Benjamin’s work on recognition and intersubjectivity. Butch lesbianism or lesbian masculinity is understood as a second-order gender category describing some lesbians’ feelings of ‘masculinity’ and distance from the primary gender categories masculinity and femininity. Using the example of misrecognition in public toilets I highlight how Butler’s and Benjamin’s ideas can enrich our understanding of lesbian identities. Finally, I suggest that (mis)recognition is a fruitful avenue for further psychosocial exploration of homophobia and heterosexism, and relevant to investigations of the ways that the continuing power of gender norms shape lesbian experiences.

Abstract:

It is very interesting to bring discourse on homosexuality and lesbianism, particularly from a psychological perspective into the arena of Islamic discourse. Study of homosexuality and lesbianism becomes even more interesting when we try to elaborate on the psychological theories of sexuality from the expert and pioneer of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. Freud was considered by some as anti-God, anti-establishment, anti-argument, anti-consciousness and anti-rationality. This was because Freud created inner psychology, which not only examined the visible indications of the soul, but also those things connected to dreams, hysteria and imaginings. This article discusses the phenomena of homosexuality and lesbianism from a psychological perspective, mainly focusing on the theories of Freud. This is because Sigmund Freud is the psychologist who proposed psychoanalysis, which introduced and spread.

Abstract:

The feminist movement in America is experiencing rapid development. The early feminist idea about woman's right to vote has developed on other issues, including sexuality and reproductive rights, ideas about universal femininity, the body, gender, and heteronormativity. In its development, feminism is sometimes associated with lesbianism. This linkage occurs because lesbian and feminist criticism grow in response to patriarchal oppression. Raised as an orphan, the two main female characters in Riding Freedom struggle to survive and achieve their freedom and happiness. Charlotte in Riding Freedom obscures her feminist identity to get equal opportunities with men. Susan in Fingersmith fights for her rights, even though she engages in lesbianism. By using these two novels as primary data, and data on the development of feminism in America as secondary data, this study aims to show the evolution of feminism in America, starting from the issue of voting described in The Riding Freedom, to the issue of lesbianism in Fingersmith's novel as the effect of disappointment from man's oppression. Feminist criticism and lesbian criticism are the two theories used in this research. This study finds that American women's struggle to gain equality with men requires a long process. The trauma of men's oppression supports the practice of lesbianism in America.

Abstract:

In 2008, a monument to the gay victims of the Holocaust was erected that paid tribute only to its male victims, reigniting a long-running debate regarding the fate of lesbians in the Third Reich. Using four previously unanalyzed police investigation files at the Landesarchiv Berlin, this article opens a window into the lives of lesbians living in Nazi Berlin. The four case studies below highlight the capricious nature of Nazi rule and the surprising ways in which discourses of homosexuality appeared in the everyday lives of prostitutes and factory workers. At the same time, they demonstrate a surprisingly robust and open world in which lesbianism was not only not persecuted, but even tolerated in limited ways. While these materials suggest a chasm that separated the experiences of gay men and lesbians under the Nazi regime, they also highlight not only the limits of tolerance but the ways in which it can reinforce persecution itself.

Abstract:

The discrimination experienced by women in sport in North America has been well documented (e.g., Hall, 1987; Lenskyj, 1986; Uhlir, 1987), and the gains made in the last two decades owe much to the efforts of feminists, both inside and outside sport. However, the situation of lesbians in sport has only recently received attention in academic and professional sport circles, and then only as one aspect of sportswomen’s private lives for which they are subjected to discrimination. And although feminist scholarship of the 1970s and 1980s has investigated the political implications of lesbianism in considerable depth, the specific concerns of lesbians in sport contexts have for the most part been neglected. This paper examines the discrimination faced by lesbians in sport and develops a radical feminist analysis of these experiences. Recent developments in national sports organizations in North America are presented as case studies and analyzed in terms of their political perspective and potential.

Abstract:

This paper examines the theme of lesbianism in Alice Walker’s groundbreaking novel The Color Purple through a nuanced interpretation of the relationship between Celie and Shug, contending that their connection transcends mere friendship or sisterhood and represents a significant manifestation of lesbianism. It substantiates the individual meaning of the lesbian experience, which is not only a survival mechanism for Celie, who exists as the “other” to live in a world dominated by whites and males, but also a catalyst for her personal growth, self-discovery, and empowerment. Furthermore, it also analyzes how Walker’s descriptions of Celie’s lesbian love break the silence of lesbian erasure based on the salvific wish imposed on lesbian women within the black community and deconstruct “unnatural” lesbianism under heteronormality. By shedding light on the overlooked significance of lesbian relationships, this study offers insights into the experiences of marginalized black women, enriching the understanding of The Color Purple.

Abstract:

Between 1973 and 1975, films starring Pam Grier and Tamara Dobson such as Cleopatra Jones (Jack Starrett, 1973), Coffy(Jack Hill, 1973) and Foxy Brown (Hill, 1974) introduced leading black women into the predominantly male blaxploitation scene as aggressive action heroines. Within the cinematic spaces of blaxploitation films which featured women as active agents, a racial and sexual divide exists. These films positioned women either inside or outside of gender tolerability by utilising binary constructions of identity based on race, sex and elementary constructions of good and evil, black and white, straight and gay, and feminine and butch. Popular representations of lesbianism and sisterhood within blaxploitation cinema reflect a dominant social view of American lesbianism as white while straight women are consistently represented as black. However, these spaces also constricted black and white female identities by limiting sexuality and morality to racial boundaries. This article seeks to question the unique solitude of these female heroines and interrogate a patriarchal cinematic world where sisterhood is often prohibited and lesbianism demonised.

Abstract:

This article examines the ways in which 1970s French feminists who participated in the Women’s Liberation Movement (Mouvement de libération des femmes – MLF) wielded the spectre of lesbianism as an American idiosyncrasy to counteract the politicisation of lesbianism in France. It argues that the erasure of lesbian difference from the domain of French feminism was a necessary condition for making ‘woman’ an amenable subject for incorporation into the abstract unity of the French nation, wherein heterosexuality is conceived as a democratic crucible where men and women harmoniously come together and differences are deemed divisive. Looking at the history of feminism from the standpoint of a lesbian perspective reveals unforeseen continuities between French ‘feminist’ and ‘anti-feminist’ genealogies insofar as they rest on common heterosexual and racial foundations. Finally, the article demonstrates that the alleged un-Frenchness ascribed to the word ‘lesbian’ in the 1970s feminist movement spectrally returned in the 1990s when the word ‘gender’ was, in its turn, deemed radically foreign to the French culture by feminist researchers. Fiercely reactionary constituencies against the legalisation of same-sex marriage have more recently taken up this rhetorical weapon against sexual and racial minorities.

Abstract:

Many white American women who came out as lesbians in the 1970s in the context of the feminist movement saw their lesbianism as part of their core identity. A tenet of that movement was that sexual/romantic involvements with men were incompatible with being a ‘true’ lesbian. Women who did were often ostracized. Changes in the lesbian-feminist community and larger society, including the viability and visibility of bisexuality and non-monogamy, have allowed some of these women to explore sexual and romantic involvement with men while holding onto the feminist aspects of their lesbian identification because of non-monogamy’s feminist potential. This analysis supports the work of van Anders in critiquing the primacy of genital configuration as a means of defining sexual orientation.
