Para tanto, realizamos pesquisa de campo em espaços de sociabilidade das transexualidades no centro do Recife, com a utilização da técnica de observação participante e uso de entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Ademais, confrontamos algumas teorias médicas, psicanalíticas e das ciências humanas sobre as transexualidades com os dados empíricos coletados. Depois, fazemos um breve percurso teórico pelas concepções de sexo, gênero, corpo, sexualidade, discurso e subjetividade, que nos levam às discussões sobre representações e performances, formando a base de compreensão da experiência das transexualidades. / This work attempt to investigate how the body modifications done by the subjects of the transsexualities can give a different meaning to the correspondence among sex, gender, sexual orientacion and desire, being able to generate new matrixes of intelligibility from the identities and multiple strategies used by crossdressers, drag queens, travestities and transexuals. For this, the we made the research using the participant observation and semi-structured interview technique in spaces of sociability of transexualities on downtown Recife. Moreover, we collate some medical, psychoanalytical, and human sciences theories with empirical data collected. After that we have a brief theorical passage through the sex, gender, body, sexuality, speech and subjectivity's conceptions that take us to discussions about representations and performance, setting up the basis of a transexualities experience.

Nossa hipótese é que a mídia é, também, espaço de (re)produção de violências e exclusão de pessoas trans – hipótese essa que ao final afirmamos, e justificamos, como verdadeira. Desta forma, o trabalho tem três objetivos centrais: 1) analisar os discursos produzidos (jan.2014 – jan.2015) por Aqui PE e Jornal de Commercio (versões impressas) acerca de transexualidade(s) e travestilidade(s); 2) através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com alguns dos sujeitos envolvidos na produção noticiosa (editoras/es dos cadernos analisados), lançar pistas sobre algumas das concepções acerca de transexualidade e travestilidade que circulam nas redações dos jornais, bem como sobre outras variáveis que condicionem a construção noticiosa dos temas; 3) alinhavando teorizações provenientes, principalmente, das Teorias do Jornalismo, Estudos Críticos do Discurso e Estudos Queer, refletir sobre as possibilidades de mudança discursiva, portanto social, acerca da(s) transexualidade(s), travestilidade(s) e, necessária-simultaneamente, cisgeneridade(s). / The investigation is instigated by two assumptions: 1) understanding the mainstream media as an institution integrated, and originated, in the capitalist system, it is the focus of complex struggles of/for power to influence the production of meanings and social representations – i.e., its a privileged space for the recognition of (in)existence and (in)visibility of voices, themes and worlds, thus collaborating in the reconstruction of reality; 2) in Brazilian society, transgender people are one of the political/identity groups that, on daily bases, experience social marginalization – structural, many of the transphobic/ cissexists violence they face are the result, and result, from / in the deletion of their voices, historically pathologized/ criminalized by 'official' knowledge (mostly built by medicine and psychological sciences, reproduced in various public and private spaces). Our hypothesis is that the media is, also, space of (re)production of violence and exclusion of transgender people - a hypothesis that at the end we found to be true. Thus, the work has three main objectives: 1) to analyze the discourses produced (jan.2014 - jan.2015) on Aqui PE and Jornal do Commercio (printed versions) about transsexuality(s); 2) through semi-structured interviews with some of those involved in news production (publishers of the analyzed books), provide clues about some of the conceptions of transsexuality circulating in newsroom and newspapers, as well as other variables that condition the construction of news topics; 3) tacking theories derived mainly from Journalism Theories, Critical Discourse Studies and Queer Studies, reflect on the possibilities of discursive change, therefore social changes, about transgenderity and, necessary- simultaneously, cisgenderity.

A relevância das animações infantis no processo de ensinar papéis específicos, valores e ideais é amplamente reconhecida pelos estudiosos da cultura. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo central desvelar e analisar criticamente a sutil estratégia discursiva presente em alguns destes artefatos midiáticos endereçados prioritariamente às crianças, que consiste em reiterar o status de normalidade das formas de identificação por gênero hegemônicas a partir da atribuição de teor de negatividade a identidades desviantes em relação às normativas sócio-historicamente constituídas de \"masculinidade\" e \"feminilidade\". Para tanto, lançamos mão da semiótica greimasiana, de modo a analisar a presença de elementos de transgressão dos papéis de gênero concebidos como \"naturais\" nas representações dos vilões Úrsula, Jafar e Scar, das animações Disney A Pequena Sereia (1989), Aladdin (1992) e O Rei Leão (1994), respectivamente. Enfatizamos a análise de elementos presentes no nível discursivo do texto, destacadamente os figurinos dos personagens, seus códigos de gestualidade e suas conformações físicas. Em combinação com a semiótica, empregamos alguns conceitos da linha de pesquisa genericamente conhecida como Análise de Discurso, visando discutir a relação dialógica que se estabelece entre os textos constituintes do corpus de análise e os discursos políticos e sociais conflitantes, próprios dos contextos sócio-históricos dos quais os filmes emergiram. Buscamos ainda propor discussões acerca do papel que essa associação entre desvio das normas de gênero e a figura dos antagonistas desempenha no reforço da heteronormatividade e de preconceitos em relação a determinados grupos sociais, problematizando as animações enquanto instrumentos de educação moral não-formal. Concluímos que o padrão de representação dos vilões analisados, no tocante às suas performances de gênero, cumpre com a função ideológica de implicitamente avaliar negativamente as formas de ser e agir que frustram as tradicionais expectativas de \"masculinidade\" e \"feminilidade\", inequivocamente associando-as com maldade, crueldade, egoísmo e ganância. Por fim, procuramos compreender as identidades de gênero desviantes dos vilões em questão sob a luz de alguns elementos da Teoria Queer / The relevance of childrens animated films in the process of teaching specific roles, values and ideals is widely recognized by culture scholars. The present work aims to unveil and critically analyze the subtle discursive strategy present in some of these media artifacts primarily addressed to children, which consists in reiterating the normality status of hegemonic forms of gender identification by attaching negativity content to devious identities in relation to socio-historic rules of \"masculinity\" and \"femininity\". Therefore, we make use of the Greimasian semiotics approach in order to analyze the presence of transgression elements of \"natural\" conceived gender roles in the representation of the villains Ursula, Jafar and Scar, from the Disney animation movies \"The Little Mermaid\" (1989), \"Alladin\" (1992) and \"The Lion King\" (1994), respectively. We emphasize the analysis of the elements present on the text discursive level, namely the characters costumes, their body language codes and physical conformations. Together with semiotics, we use some of the concepts from the research line generically known as \"Discursive Analysis\", aiming to discuss the dialogical relation established among the \"corpus\" of analysis and the political and social conflicting speeches, proper to the socio-historic contexts from which the movies emerged. Furthermore, we aim to propose discussions over the roles that this association between deviation of gender norms and the antagonists figure play on the support of heteronormativity and pre-concepts regarding certain social groups, problematizing the animation films as non-formal education teaching tools. We conclude that the representation patterns of the studied villains, on their gender performances, comply with the ideological function of implicitly and negatively evaluate ways of being and acting which frustrate traditional expectations of \"masculinity and femininity\", unequivocally associating them to evil, cruelty, selfishness and greed. Finally, we attempt to understand the devious gender identities from the studied villains under some Queer Theory elements.

Através dos relatos apresentados, procurou-se analisar diferentes formas de interação social por que passam esses sujeitos e as maneiras como as enfrentam. Para tanto, observou-se as experiências individuais de autoconstrução e de compreensão de si, assim como das normas sociais, com relação às quais se forjam tais experiências, partindo de uma noção de sujeito formado nas relações e que não pode existir fora dos quadros normativos que estabelecem os termos de seu reconhecimento e condicionam o reconhecimento intersubjetivo. Um sujeito cuja capacidade reflexiva e de ação é entendida como possível em negociação com as normas. Priorizou-se uma elaboração textual e teórica que partisse das falas dos entrevistados e, junto a elas, foram sendo elaborados os principais temas abordados nesta pesquisa: o reconhecimento de si como pessoa trans; as disputas surgidas no campo das relações familiares, amorosas e de trabalho, dentre outras; e como a transexualidade se insere num quadro maior dos estudos de gênero. Outro ponto importante, cujo debate mostrou-se fecundo a partir dos relatos analisados, foi a sugestão do “ceder” como forma de agência – tendo em vista a conceituação proposta por Saba Mahmood (2006) –, que se daria numa de uma gradação variável de acordo com cada situação social. / From the life histories of three transsexual men, we sought to contribute to an anthropological listening about transsexuality, understanding it as a complex socio-historical phenomenon. Through the accounts presented, we tried to analyze different forms of social interaction that these subjects go through and the ways they face them. In order to do so, we have observed the individual experiences of self-construction and self-understanding, as well as that of the comprehension of social norms, on which such experiences are forged, starting from a notion of a subject formed in the relationships and which cannot exist outside the normative frameworks that establish the terms of their recognition and the conditions to intersubjective recognition. A subject whose reflexive and action ability is understood as possible in negotiation with the norms. It was prioritized a textual and theoretical elaboration that departed from the accounts given by the interviewees and, together with them, the main themes addressed in this research were elaborated: the recognition of self as a trans person; the disputes arising in the fields of family, love and work relations, among others; and how transsexuality fits in a larger picture of gender studies. Another important point, whose debate proved fruitful from the analyzed accounts, was the suggestion of “ceding” as a form of agency - in view of the conceptualization proposed by Saba Mahmood (2006) -, which would occur in a gradation variable according to with each social situation.

Neste trabalho é apresentada uma etnografia sobre jovens freqüentadores da Rua Augusta e adjacências na cidade de São Paulo. São analisadas as negociações desses jovens em relação à freqüência de lugares comuns por jovens de estilos diferentes. A maneira como as diferenças são transformadas em desigualdade através do uso de marcadores sociais da diferença é analisada tendo como base uma bibliografia sobre sexualidade, papel de gênero, heteronormatividade e estilo. Será apresentado o campo onde foi feita a pesquisa e contingências da observação participante em um ambiente de flerte. Em seguida são comentadas as perspectivas teóricas utilizadas na análise dos dados obtidos em campo. Também será apresentada a descrição das pessoas que freqüentavam os locais descritos durante o decorrer da observação e por fim são feitas considerações finais sobre os tópicos presentes nos capítulos anteriores. / This work presents an ethnography on young frequenters of Augusta street and the nearby locations in the city of São Paulo. It analyzes the negotiations these youngsters carry in relation to the presence of different styles in that area. The manner in which difference is transformed into inequality through the use of social markers of difference is analyzed based on a bibliography on sexuality, heteronormativity and style. The fieldwork is presented as well as the contingencies of doing participating observation in an environment of flirting. Then there are comments on the theoretical perspectives used to analyze the obtained data. It also presents a depiction of the people present in the field during the time of the research and lastly the final considerations on the data from the other chapters are presented.

M.A. (Clinical Psychology) / Same-sex marriage is legally recognized in South Africa and thereby casting gay men as acceptable sexual citizens. Gay men who choose not to marry are subject to further sexual discrimination. To explore the constructions and social meanings of gay men in same-sex marriage, four self-identified gay men who had been married for at least a year were interviewed. Guided by a social constructionist epistemology, discourse analysis of these interviews exposed the effects of language in the shaping of identities. The analysis found that the married gay man positions himself as a ‘decent’ sexual subject and assumes the heterosexist ideology of marriage, which discriminates the single gay man as amoral and ‘deviant’. The married gay men used the discourses of healing, othering, protection, rights and playing straight that entrenched heteronormativity as a moral and sexual authority thereby reinforcing homophobic prejudice. Policy and socio-political recommendations were made to address the legal concept of equality from a Queer Theoretical perspective and for the training of psychologists to include critical engagement with gay subjectivity and the gay cultural world.

Throughout the past 18 months I have adopted a construct for creating art in regards to what will be presented in this text. Research and statistics about LGBT legislation and societal attitudes inform perceptions of citizens and values within specific cities. Perceptions of these attitudes inform my experiences within these cities. The experiences within these cities inform the creation of text I write. The text I write informs the art, whether it be text, video or performance, that I create. This methodology has been applied before, during and after travelling to Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Lappeenranta, Tallinn, Riga, Kaunas and Vilnius, during 2015 and 2016. As an Australian, as an other.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom att använda ett specifikt teoretiskt ramverk kunna undersöka och problematisera den stora förekomsten av transpersoner med erfarenhet av ätstörningar. Ramverket är baserat på Sara Ahmeds teorier om orientering och bygger på synen på samhället som uppbyggt av heteronormativa linjer vilka transpersoner förhåller sig till. Genom att välja ut illustrerande exempel från två antologier kretsade kring kropp och identitet har jag kunnat peka på att den press som transpersoner utsätts för i samhället leder till minskat handlingsutrymme, maktlöshet, kroppslig dysfori och assimilation. Med behovet av att reglera de känslor som uppstår samt den fysiska kroppen kan ätstörningen ses som ett verktyg med dubbel funktion. Dels för att hantera maktlösheten inför världen och återta kontroll över den kropp som någon annan definierat och begränsat. Och dels utifrån behovet av att skapa sig själv som begriplig inför sig själv och världen - för att kunna existera.

There has been an increase in the portrayal of gay characters in several television series during the last decades, however they are still depicted in an odd way, derived from the heteronormative approach. Television programs constantly show that heterosexuality is the prevailing standard and that people that do not adapt to this heteronormative morale are regarded as eccentric and do not fit in American society. This study aims to contribute to an understanding of how the media representation of fictional gay and lesbian characters in U.S. TV-series persists heteronormativity. The theory explores different influencing factors and characteristics of heteronormativity related concepts coming from gender and sex theories. Consequently, these characteristics and elements of the literature will be identified and set side by side. As a method a theoretical conceptual framework, in the context of a qualitative content analysis, is conducted in order to investigate the characteristics and elements of the gays and lesbians in the selected TV-series. Hereby analytical tools were used of this conceptual framework in order to understand the characteristics and elements of gendered stereotype, sexual aspects, villain/victim and life-style in scene dialog texts. The findings suggest that the four series have different ways of depicting the characteristics and elements of how the gay and lesbian characters are represented. Regarding the findings within characteristics: life-style aspects, gendered stereotypes and sexual depiction the heteronormativity is still persisting the American series. Some findings are supporting the arguments of the research review, however several findings are challenging the arguments of the previous research.

Bakgrund: HBTQ är en samlingsbeteckning för homosexuell, bisexuell, transperson och queer och är idag ett aktuellt ämne. Synen på HBTQ-personer har förändrats genom historien där lagar har utvecklats och organisationer bildats i syfte att främja livsvillkor samt arbeta för lika rättigheter. HBTQ-personer är än idag föremål för hatbrott och diskriminering. Förekomsten av ohälsa, såsom somatiska sjukdomar, psykisk ohälsa samt olika former av substansmissbruk, är vanligare hos denna minoritetsgrupp än bland övriga befolkningen. Kommunikationen är en avgörande faktor för upplevelsen av bemötandet. Syfte: Att beskriva HBTQ-personers upplevelser kring bemötandet från vårdpersonal. Metod: För att besvara syftet utfördes en litteraturöversikt, där tio vetenskapliga artiklar granskades och analyserades utifrån likheter och skillnader. Resultat: Resultatet presenteras genom två teman och tre subteman: Vårdpersonalens skiftande kunskaper innefattar Att vara ett uppslagsverk och Vårdpersonalens attityder och förhållningssätt samt temat Att komma ut eller att inte komma ut innefattar Internaliserad stigma. Diskussion: Diskussionen framhäver vikten av ett öppet förhållningssätt och medvetenhet för att främja en jämlik vård där alla människor ska känna sig trygga och välkomna. Två fenomen diskuteras, Diskriminering till följd av avslöjandet av sexuell identitet och Heteronormativitet till följd av samhälleliga strukturer, i relation till Joyce Travelbees teori om mellanmänskliga relationer. / Background: LGBTQ is a collective term for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer and is a current issue in today’s society. The perception of LGBTQ-persons has changed through history, where laws have been developed and organizations have been formed in order to promote living conditions and are working for equal rights. LGBTQ-persons are still subject to hate crimes and discrimination. The occurrence of health issues, such as somatic disease, mental illness and various forms of substance abuse are more common in this minority group than among the rest of the population. Communication is a determining factor for the experience of the encounter. Aim: To describe LGBTQ-persons’ experiences of the encounters with healthcare professionals. Method: A literature review was conducted, where ten science articles were examined and analyzed based on similarities and differences, to answer the aim. Results: The result is presented through two themes and three subthemes: The varying knowledge of health care professionals includes Being a reference and The health care professionals’ attitudes and approach, as well as the theme To disclose or not to disclose includes Internalized stigma. Discussion: The discussion highlights the importance of an open approach and awareness to promote equal care in which all people will feel safe and welcome. Two phenomena are discussed, Discrimination as a result of the disclosure of sexual identity and Heteronormativity as a result of social structures, in relation to Joyce Travelbee's theory of interpersonal relationships.
