Queera karriärer : Om normalitet, homosexuell subjektivitet och meningsskapande praktiker bland tjänstemän på statliga myndigheterHolmberg, Daniel, Övling, Johanna January 2007 (has links)
<p>Uppsatsen handlar om normaliserande och meningsskapande praktiker bland statsanställda på olika myndigheter. Utifrån fem homosexuella tjänstemäns och tjänstekvinnors berättelser om sina arbetsliv och karriärer undersöks hur normalitet skapas och upprätthålls, hur homosexuell subjektivitet formas och hur normativa maktordningar kan utmanas. I uppsatsen visar vi att sexualitet inte kan förstås isolerat från andra maktordningar utan måste ses som intimt förknippat med</p><p>föreställningar om kön, klass, etnicitet, ålder och yrkesposition. Ju närmare en normativ position den homosexuelle befinner sig desto mindre utmanande blir den homosexuella identiteten. Framför allt är kopplingen mellan sexualitet och kön viktig. En homosexuell identitet som inte utmanar föreställningen om två kompletterande kön uppmuntras av omgivningen medan könsöverskridande könsuttryck bemöts med negativa reaktioner.</p>

"Skapa en ny värld" : en queer och foucaultsk läsning av Karin Boyes KallocainAxelsson, Mia January 2007 (has links)
<p>This essay examines expressions of power and resistance, in relation to gender and sexuality, in Karin Boye´s novel Kallocain. I read the novel´s theme of resistance on a level of sexuality. Because differing sexualities and genderpractises are often hidden within the heteronormative mechanisms of oppression, I focus my reading on the meaning of the room and the eye. With theories of Michel Foucault and queer theories, I show how the novel´s rooms in both a material and an immaterial way demarcate based on heteronoramative structures. Further I use the theoretical tools of Foucault and show how looks become the gatekeepers of normativity. I investigate how Judith Butler’s theory on how gender is performatively constructed take shape in the novel and how there can be queer leakage, for example in the potentially homoerotic relation between the two main male characters. I will argue that the heteronormative novelworld of Kallocain contains an emancipating potential in the rooms for resistance created both through the spirit of community in the “fools community” and in other relations, foremost the one between the main male character and the female who is married to him.</p>

Kompetens och ansvar kring hbt och homofobi i skolan : Intervjustudie med lärare i årskurs 7-9Bergengren, Caroline January 2008 (has links)
<p>Many reports infer that questions of HBT and homophobia are either poorly addressed or not addressed at all in schools today. This study is based on interviews with teachers of students aged 13 to 15. It is an inquiry to the teacher's thoughts about, knowledge of, and sense of responsibility to inform students of the subjects 'Queer', 'HBT', and 'Homophobia'. Who is responsible for educating the students regarding these subjects and what do teachers think about including these subjects in their curriculum? How do the teachers describe their knowledge of the subjects? Do they require further knowledge themselves in order to educate others in a proper way? The study is grounded in queer theories. This study shows that teachers do have some knowledge and are interested in teaching the subjects. Unfortunately the subject matter presently lacks support and status in schools and as a result is left behind.</p>

”Så nu är jag ett annat jag igen” : Autenticitetsgränser i och kring JT LeRoys Sarah och Hjärtat är bedrägligast av alltSäfwenberg, Nike Linn January 2008 (has links)
<p>The aim of this essay is to investigate how the author JT LeRoy (a. i. Laura Albert) questions and broadens the concept of authenticity in literature and authorship. My study is based on LeRoy’s novel Sarah [2000] and the collection of short stories The heart is deceitful above all things [2001], as well as articles written about the construction of Laura Albert’s alter ego JT LeRoy. I look for norms and boundaries in connection with authentic authors, identities, sex, gender and love. My method is that of a thematic analysis focusing on names, parenthood, religious beliefs and sub cultural norms and resistance. I am inspired by Michel Foucault’s thoughts on discourse, power and sexuality. My results are presented in a dialogue with previous readings and queer theory, foremost represented by Judith Butler. My general conclusion is that the literary texts, as well as the author represent a queer perspective, and that they therefore – in a heteronormative world view – are considered neither normal nor authentic.</p>

The first Woman born with a Difference : En komparativ queerläsning av Djuna Barnes <em>Ladies Almanack</em>Fällman, Linn January 2009 (has links)
<p>The aim of this thesis is a comparative study of Djuna Barnes' 1928 book <em>Ladies Almanack</em> and turn of the century sexological texts focusing on Havelock Ellis' studies of 'sexual inversion in women'. The study is based on queer theory concepts from Judith Butler and Fanny Ambjörnson as well as Michel Foucault's studies of the history of sexuality. After a presentation of the theoretical concepts and a short introduction of earlier research on Barnes' works my reading and conclusions are presented in five chapters focusing on different theoretical and thematic aspects of the studied texts. A recapitulation and discussion ends the thesis.</p><p>In short, my conclusions are that <em>Ladies Almanack</em> contrary to earlier research can be read as a queer text, and a form of counter-discourse to the general one regarding lesbianism in the early 1900's. The text also reveals itself as a pointed critique and a satire of Havelock Ellis' writings on 'sexual inversion in women'. As well, when read against Radclyffe Hall's <em>The Well of Loneliness</em>, perhaps the archetypal 'lesbian novel', Hall's book reveals itself as an echo of the same discourse Barnes opposes.</p><p> </p>

Bortom Könet : Om unga transpersoners villkor i skolan ur ett queerteoretiskt perspektivAlkamil, Nour January 2009 (has links)
<p>This essay discusses the students’ thoughts about the teacher's response to their gender identity. The students discuss their right to have an intergender identity which means that they don’t identify themselves in the traditional sexes, <em>man and <em>woman, and the gender role each category has. They want to be called with a neutral pronoun and not be seen like boys or girls. </em></em></p><p>To understand these students’ point of view I used queer theory and discourse analysis to see the differences between sex and gender. Judith Butler the most famous philosopher in the field of queer theory emphasizes that there is no differences between sex and gender roles and explains that sex and gender roles are neither made by nature nor have mystery sources. Instead they are created by historical, social and cultural processes. She declares that language and the names we give each other affect what identities the society think are normal or not. There are many different identities that can’t be identified or categorized in the traditional gender roles. We have to think beyond these categories and not see people in only two sexes/genders, woman and man.</p><p>The Swedish schools have many values to work with and in these values it’s written that the teachers have to treat every student with respect and encourage them to grow and evolve. I investigate how the teachers react to the students’ transgender identities. The investigation is made with four different students who identify themselves as intergender. The study is based on interviews that took between forty and sixty minutes. The interviews were transcribed and written with spoken language. The main purpose of this essay is to investigate what the students thought about their teachers’ reaction.</p><p>The conclusion of this essay is that the students think that the teachers have insufficient knowledge about the transgender identities. The students want the teachers to have more knowledge about transgender identities. That will make the teachers more comfortable in their behavior against students who identify themselves between the traditional sexes.</p>

Gender, Utopia, and Temporality in Feminist Science Fiction: (Re)Reading Classic Texts of the Past, in the Present, and for the FutureThibodeau, Amanda 03 June 2011 (has links)
This dissertation explores the ways that women authors of science fiction have altered conventions of utopia and science fiction in order to revise conceptions of gender, sexuality, the body, and the environment. I examine several twentieth-century feminist critical dystopias that continue to betray genre and form, and to shape the science fiction being written at this moment. Each of the works demonstrates particular elements that facilitate its revisionary power: challenging and deconstructing sex/gender systems, blending utopian and dystopian conventions, and engaging in temporal play. By doing so they accomplish a range of tasks: disrupting generic and historical conventions, blending genres, redefining utopia, and making connections with present realities in order to make a case for social change, particularly for female and queer subjects. Though many of the texts are considered canonical by sf standards, and have been widely praised and critiqued in academic publications, each one continues its project of resistance in the light of the genre and of ever-evolving theories of gender, sexuality, race, and identity. As a scholar of gender and queer theory, I find within sf an extraordinary realm of potential for those willing to challenge norms and imagine new possibilities. In their rejection of system and form, the authors render impure the genre of science fiction, providing a new space in which utopian ideals can become literary and cultural resistance.
