391	Theoretical You Summe, Lisa Marie 24 June 2016 (has links) Theoretical You is a collection of autobiographical queer love poems told from the perspective of a single speaker. These love poems speak not only to lovers and exes, but also to lust and sex and desire, to the speaker's father (they do not reciprocate the cruelty he has shown her--they are neither malicious nor vindictive), and perhaps most importantly, to the speaker herself--she recognizes herself as a lesbian, as a human, who deserves to love and be loved. While love is the crux of these poems, the collection is just as much about heartbreak (which is, of course, inevitably tied to love, is the consequence of love), heartbreak others have inflicted on the speaker and heartbreak she has inflicted on herself, having walked out on many of the women she addresses in the collection. The poems work to navigate the challenges of heartbreak by confronting homophobia, familial rejection, gender binaries and the appearance norms tied to them, as well as the grief that comes with simply being unable to stop missing someone. Here is a young woman who still loves every woman she has ever been with, who has so much love to give, who has a father who refuses to accept her, in a world that is often cruel. All of this together creates the complicated situation of being perpetually heartbroken, even when the speaker is happily in a relationship, even though she has learned to love herself. / Master of Fine Arts Poetry Lesbian Identity Coming Out
392	O que podem fazer duas vulvas : lesbianidades no Tumblr Batista, Daniela Conegatti January 2015 (has links) A presente dissertação teve como tema as lesbianidades no espaço da web. Assumido o lugar de importância que as mídias e redes sociais têm alcançado na contemporaneidade, optou-se pelo tumblr como lugar de análise. Assim, esta pesquisa foi guiada pela seguinte questão: como se constituem as lesbianidades nos tumblrs selecionados? Para a pesquisa, foram escolhidos quatro tumblrs com interesse nas lesbianidades: love-my-girlfriend, lovee-fuck-you, butchlife e n-surtesorria. Em acordo com a perspectiva pós-estruturalista, a abordagem foi teóricometodológica, compreendendo os estudos foucaultianos, estudos da Cultura Visual e permanecendo na esteira do pensamento de Judith Butler e Beatriz Preciado, principalmente seus escritos sobre gênero, sexo e sexualidade. O enfoque recaiu sobre as imagens compartilhadas nestas páginas. A partir do contato com os tumblrs, foram eleitas três instâncias de análise: corpo, amor e sexo lésbico. Com base nos escritos de Foucault e nos estudos da Cultura Visual, as imagens foram analisadas enquanto produto de discursos e, neste processo, tais imagens produziram modos de ser lésbica, exercendo Pedagogias Culturais. Por vezes as lesbianidades aproximaram-se do ideal heteronormativo – e por vezes afastaram-se –, assim como corresponderam à performatividade de gênero (ou não). Contudo, neste processo, desconstruíram verdades e discursos sobre gênero, sexo e sexualidade nos tumblrs analisados. / The theme of this essay is lesbianisms on the web. Realized the importance that social media has reached in the contemporary world, we chose tumblr as place of analisys. Thus, this essay was guided by the following question: how are constituted the lesbianisms in the selected tumblrs? For this essay, were elected four tumblrs with interest in lesbianisms for analysis: love-my-girlfriend, lovee-fuck-you, butchlife and n-surte-sorria. In accordance with the poststructuralist perspective, the approach was theoretical and methodological, comprising studies of Foucault, Visual Culture studies and remaining in accordance with the ideas of Judith Butler and Beatriz Preciado, mainly their works about gender, sex and sexuality. The emphasis was on the images shared in these pages. By the contact with the tumblrs, were elected three analytical instances: body, love and lesbian sex. Based on the writings of Foucault and of Visual Culture studies, it was realized that the images were produced by discourses and, in this process, they produced ways of being lesbian, effecting Cultural Pedagogies. Sometimes, the lesbianisms approached the heteronormative ideal – and sometimes they diverged –, as well as they corresponded to gender performativity (or not). However, in this process they deconstructed beliefs and discourses on gender, sex and sexuality in the analyzed tumblrs.

395	"Lager utav oro" : Erfarenheter och farhågor kring graviditet och förlossning, hos förlossningsrädda lesbiska och bisexuella kvinnor och transpersoner / "Layers of worry" : Experiences and fears of pregnancy and childbirth in lesbian and bisexual women and transgender people with fear of childbirth Jonsson, Louise, Wikström, Johanna January 2018 (has links) Förlossningsrädsla har tidigare främst undersökts hos kvinnor som lever i heterosexuella relationer, och på senare tid även kommit att inkludera deras manliga partners upplevelser av rädsla. Förlossningsrädsla kan påverka negativt under familjebildningen, vilket gör den viktig att uppmärksamma i alla familjekonstellationer. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur förlossningsrädsla erfars och tar sig uttryck hos lesbiska/bisexuella kvinnor och transpersoner, samt vad olika typer av bemötande i vården får för betydelse för dem och deras rädsla. Data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med tio deltagare. De transkriberade intervjuerna bearbetades genom tematisk analys med en induktiv ansats. Analysen resulterade i fem huvudteman som handlar om förlossningsrädslan, omkringliggande aspekter och hur bemötande i vården påverkar rädslan; Mina förlossningsrädslor, Naturlighet, cisnormer och femininitet, Vägen till barn, Att vara sårbar och utsatt under en förlossning och Bemötande i vården. Resultatet visar på att deltagarnas förlossningsrädsla är lik den som rapporterats i forskning i stort, men att det delvis tillkommer vissa nya aspekter för denna grupp. Förlossningsrädslan influeras av deras erfarenheter av bemötande i vården och den större omgivande sociala kontexten som påverkar genom processer av normer, minoritetsstress, hetero- och cisnormativitet och diskriminering. För vissa deltagare har förlossningsrädslan dessutom påverkats av att ha deltagit vid en partners förlossning. / Förlossningsrädsla hos lesbiska/bisexuella kvinnor och transpersoner - Förekomst, upplevelser och erfarenheter Fear of childbirth FOC lesbian bisexual transgender LGBTQ same-sex couples LGBTQ-couples pregnancy childbirth treatment social norms heteronormativity minority stress micro aggressions thematic analysis qualitative method Förlossningsrädsla lesbisk bisexuell trans LBT HBTQ samkönade par LBT-par graviditet förlossning bemötande normer heteronormativitet minoritetsstress mikroaggressioner tematisk analys kvalitativ metod Psychology Psykologi
396	”Homosexualitet är någonting hemskt och jag är på grund av det helt värdelös.” : Homosexuella personers upplevelser och hantering av minoritetsstress i Sverige / ”Homosexuality is something awful and because of that I am completely worthless.” : The Experiences and Coping of Minority Stress, among Lesbians and Gays in Sweden Malinowska, Marcelina, Stolt, David January 2019 (has links) Syftet med denna examensuppsats var att kvalitativt undersöka upplevelsen av minoritetsstress samt dess påverkan och hantering hos homosexuella i Sverige. Detta gjordes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med tio personer i åldern 22 till 44 år, vars berättelser analyserades med hjälp av en tematisk analys. Resultatet visar på en utbredd upplevelse av minoritetsstress inom flera områden i samhället och livet. Minoritetsstressen berodde på alltifrån hat och avståndstagande, diskriminering, utanförskap, heteronormativt bemötande, exotifiering och internaliserad homofobi till problem vid kontakt med myndigheter, vård och juridik. Minoritetsstressen upplevdes ge en sämre psykisk hälsa, ge upphov till komplexa negativa känslor, begränsa livsutrymmet, dränera energi samt ge upphov till en förhöjd rädsla och vaksamhet för potentiellt ofarliga situationer. Strategier för hantering av minoritetsstressen omfattade allt från socialt stöd, arbete med sin självbild och gränssättning till engagemang för hbtq+- frågor. Informanternas vittnesmål gick i linje med internationell forskning på samma område och kunde vidare förstås när de ställdes bredvid tidigare fynd och teorier kring minoritetsstress och hanteringsstrategier. Vittnesmålen visade även på minoritetsstressens komplexa verkan och genes. Resultatet indikerar ett stort behov av kunskap om homosexuellas utsatthet och livsvillkor inom samhällets alla arenor. Vidare forskning rörande minoritetsstressens omfattning, intersektion med andra minoritetspositioner samt fördjupning kring de olika delområden denna examensuppsats har berört bedöms nödvändig i framtiden. / Minoritetsstress hos hbtqi-personer: Upplevelser och coping lgbt gay lesbian sexual orientation microaggressions internalized homophobia hypervigilance self-concealment heteronormativity heterosexism stigmatization prejudice homonegativity mental health victimization discrimination exoticization lgbt-community thematic analysis qualitative research lgbt-research hbtq lesbisk sexuell läggning mikroaggressioner internaliserad homofobi hypervigilans heteronormativitet heterosexism stigmatisering fördomar homonegativitet psykisk ohälsa utsatthet diskriminering exotifiering hbtq-community tematisk analys kvalitativ forskning hbtq-forskning Psychology Psykologi
397	Möjligheter och förbehåll – en diskursanalytisk studie av lesbiska kvinnors erfarenheter av att bilda familj genom assisterad befruktning inom svensk sjukvård / Opportunities and restrictions – a discourse analysis on lesbian womens’ experiences of creating a family through assisted reproduction in Swedish public medical services Rozental, Alexander January 2011 (has links) Syftet med studien är att utforska och förstå de resonemang lesbiska par begagnar sig av i beslutsfattandet om reproduktionsmetod. Här ingår även berättelser kring de erfarenheter paren har av möten med professionella inom svensk sjukvård och myndighetsutövning. Studien består av tio intervjuer med lesbiska par, vilka har fått barn inom den offentliga sjukvården sedan detta blev tillgängligt den 1 juli år 2005. Materialet har analyserats med hjälp av kvalitativ metod i det diskursanalytiska fältet. Resultatet visar att parens beslut har föregåtts av en process där alternativ har vägts mot varandra. Här återfinns två typer av tolkningsrepertoarer där svensk sjukvård har fått företräde på grundval av externa omständigheter. Den ena kretsar kring ett samhällsperspektiv där olika juridiska faktorer används retoriskt för att framhäva valet som rimligt. Den andra utgår ifrån ett familjeperspektiv, där det externa synliggörs genom konsekvenserna de får för den egna familjebilden. Resultatet visar samtidigt på de erfarenheter paren har av att genomföra assisterad befruktning i Sverige. Dels beskrivs upplevelserna utifrån utsatthet, där rollen som vårdtagare och homosexuell framställs som en dubbel sårbarhet. Dels framkommer resonemang om acceptans, genom vilken paren hanterar och föregår bristande bemötande med olika argument som reducerar potentiella stressorer.

398	En familj är att man är bra ihop – en diskursanalytisk studie av regnbågsbarns prat om familj och tillblivelse / A family is that you are good together – a discourse analytical study of the way children in lesbian families talk about family and origin of babies. Wikström, Maria, Möllerstrand, Anna January 2011 (has links) Denna studie kan placeras inom barndomsforskningen, där barn ses som aktörer vars röster förtjänar att tas på allvar. Syftet var att undersöka regnbågsbarns syn på familj, sin egen familj och tillblivelse. Intervjuer har genomförts med tolv barn i åldern fem till åtta år som alla var samboende med två mammor. En semistrukturerad intervjuguide användes och barnen ombads att måla sin egen och en annan familj. Barnens tal har analyserats utifrån en diskursanalytisk ansats. Resultatet visar att regnbågsbarnen pratar om familj utifrån relationella band, emotionell närhet, att man bor och gör saker tillsammans. Barnen visar en öppenhet inför olika familjestrukturer. Föräldrar beskrivs som omhändertagande och mammors och pappors funktion sägs vara likvärdig. Pratet om den egna familjen och mammorna präglas av positiva beskrivningar men utmanas i ett fåtal berättelser genom att teman av konflikt lyfts. Majoriteten av barnen pratar om pappor och beskriver dessa dels utifrån ursprung och dels utifrån en relationell mening. En del barns prat framstår förvirrat kring dessa två aspekter av pappor. Barnen uppvisar svårigheter att närma sig prat om tillblivelse och använder begreppen frö och ägg i olika utsträckning. Majoriteten av barnen som pratar om frö berättar att det kommer från en man. Regnbågsbarnens sätt att prata om familj är i linje med tidigare forskning om barns syn på familj. Barnens öppenhet inför olika familjestrukturer kan ses som ett uttryck för att rättfärdiga den egna familjekonstellationen, alternativt visar det på en realistisk spegling av samhällets mångfald vad gäller familjeformer. Svårigheterna att prata om negativa erfarenheter inom den egna familjen visar på det problematiska att gå emot en dominerande diskurs av familj som harmonisk. Regnbågsbarnens prat kring att mammor och pappor är samma sak skiljer sig från tidigare forskning om barns syn på föräldrar och hur detta kan förstås diskuteras i uppsatsen. Den förvirring som en del barns prat kring att i en mening ha en pappa och i en annan inte, kan visa på att barnen behöver få stöd i att hitta en fungerande diskurs om vad en pappa är och skillnaden på en relationell pappa och en donator.

399	Barriers to Help Seeking for Lesbian Victims of Intimate Partner Violence Lovett, Maria Joanne 01 January 2015 (has links) Lesbian intimate partner violence (IPV) is an understudied social and psychological problem in the United States. The purpose of this qualitative, comparative study was to understand any barriers of help-seeking behaviors for victims of lesbian IPV. The literature on lesbian IPV has not included the perspectives of both service provider and support person on why these barriers persist. Normative resource theory and the barriers model informed the study. Interviews were conducted with a sample of 8 providers and 5 support persons. Interviews were then transcribed and coded. The 7 themes that emerged among these 13 participants were an unawareness on how to get help, inability on the part of the victim to recognize abuse, lack of acknowledgement of abuse in the community, inadequate specialized training and policies to work with the lesbian community, no assurance of safety at the shelter, fear of disclosure of sexual orientation, and no confidence with system or service agency. All of these themes were identified as contributing factors that deterred lesbian IPV victims from seeking help. Although the findings are representative of a small sample, these findings can initiate positive social change by informing interventions which can bridge the gap between the lesbian IPV victim and the support services she needs.

400	'Coming out' stories : a narrative study into 'coming out' as lesbian and gay to the family Mason, Glenn January 2016 (has links) Background: The 'coming out' literature reveals there is a high degree of selectivity and fear of rejection around disclosure of sexual identity to others. It is suggested this distress can be particularly elevated around disclosure of sexual identity to the family. Recent research suggests that the age of disclosure around sexual identity within the family is shifting, but even with the recent growth of research within the lesbian, gay and bisexual community, researchers still do not fully understand the complexities of the 'coming out' process. Aim: This narrative study aimed to collect 'coming out' stories to better understand the process an adolescent goes through in disclosing their sexual identity to family. Participants: Seven participants were recruited through snowball sampling, four adolescents (one female and three male) who self-identified as lesbian or gay and three parents (three mothers) who had children that self-identified as lesbian or gay. Method: Participant stories were audio recorded in one semi-structured narrative interview, lasting up to 90 minutes. A narrative analysis was carried out drawing upon Labov's (1972) structural analysis and an adaption of Polkinghorne's (1995) narrative 'plots' to develop Thematic Concepts from the participant stories. Analysis: The structural analysis showed that participants did not restrict their stories to a single event of 'coming out' to the family. They spoke about 'coming out' experiences based around numerous chronological events across their life to date, and included evaluations of these. Five Thematic Concepts were developed from the seven participant stories - (1) the influence of self - a sense of knowing something; (2) the influence of the school environment; (3) the influence of culture and religion; (4) the influence of the digital age/new media; and (5) the influence of the family. Conclusions and Implications: Research literature suggests that 'coming out' should not be viewed as a one-time event, but an on-going process evolving across the lifespan. Historical and socio-political factors must also be considered in understanding the process of 'coming out'. With regards to clinical practice, this study suggests counselling psychology should be pro-active in advancing educative interventions to address heteronormativity and discrimination within society, as well as considering systemic approaches when working therapeutically with sexual minorities. 158.3
