Entre perdas e ganhos: homossexualidade masculina, geração e transformação social na cidade de São Paulo / Between losses and gains: male homosexuality, generation and social transformation in São PauloGustavo Santa Roza Saggese 13 March 2015 (has links)
Baseada em pesquisa etnográfica envolvendo observação participante e entrevistas em profundidade realizadas entre 2011 e 2013, a proposta deste trabalho consiste em investigar a maneira pela qual homens de meia-idade provenientes de camadas médias e residentes na cidade de São Paulo experimentam e percebem transformações relativas à visibilidade homossexual ao longo de suas vidas e, mais especialmente, das últimas três décadas. A partir de uma análise dos discursos, tento construir junto aos interlocutores uma dialética que leva em conta tanto a experiência subjetiva de pertencimento a um grupo tradicionalmente marginalizado quanto a posição sócio-histórica que ocupam. Aqui, entram em jogo vários marcos, como o final da ditadura militar e a abertura política do Brasil, os pânicos morais suscitados pelo advento da epidemia de HIV/AIDS em meados da década de 1980 e a participação de alguns deles em movimentos sociais. Alvo de discussões acaloradas no cenário político nacional, exploro também suas posições sobre acontecimentos mais recentes, como o surgimento das Paradas do Orgulho LGBT e os embates envolvendo o reconhecimento das uniões homoafetivas e a criminalização da homofobia no país. Ao mesmo tempo, problematizo o marcador geração e procuro entender as diferenças que apontam entre eles e os mais jovens. / Drawing on ethnographic research involving participant observation and in-depth interviews conducted between 2011 and 2013, this study investigates the way by which middle-class, middle-aged men from São Paulo experience and perceive transformations of homosexual visibility throughout their lives and most especially over the last three decades. Analyzing their discourses, I try to build with interlocutors a dialectic that takes into account both the subjective experience of belonging to a traditionally marginalized group and the socio-historical position they occupy. Various landmarks come into play, such as the end of the military dictatorship and the political openness in Brazil, the moral panics brought on by the emergence of HIV/AIDS epidemic in the mid-1980s and the participation of some in social movements. Subjects of heated debates in the national political scene, I also explore their positions on more recent events such as the emergence of LGBT Pride Parades and the clashes involving the recognition of same-sex unions and the criminalization of homophobic discrimination in the country. At the same time, I question the label generation and try to understand the differences they point between themselves and the younger.

TCC Tomaz Edson.pdf: 698536 bytes, checksum: 41ebe9bc8af5557f954f2e225b9da252 (MD5) / hotelaria é um dos campos de prestação de serviço que mais cresce e contribui para o desenvolvimento positivo da economia mundial. No Brasil, a perspectiva é positiva, uma vez que eventos como a Copa do Mundo e as Olimpíadas acarretam em altas taxas de ocupação e maior demanda de hóspedes. Para atender corretamente a esta demanda é necessário a segmentação, que consiste na divisão do público resultando em grupos distintos. Os indivíduos de um mesmo grupo devem possuir necessidades, atributos e perspectivas semelhantes entre si e distintas dos outros grupos. Além destas segmentações, há a criação de subsegmentos, como hotéis voltados para o público masculino (segmentação), de lazer (subsegmentação). Como um dos mais expressivos setores, o mercado hoteleiro LGBT possui grande destaque no exterior. Nos EUA, pode movimentar cerca de 68 bilhões de dólares em um ano. No Brasil, os números chegam a R$ 150 bilhões por ano. Os efeitos da hotelaria LGBT são mais expressivos em cidades como São Paulo onde, por exemplo, ocorre a mundialmente conhecida Parada Gay e no Rio de Janeiro, no qual um dos eventos que mais atrai turistas LGBT é o Carnaval. Eventos como os citados, lotam os hotéis, restaurantes e pontos turísticos. O objetivo do artigo é fazer um breve panorama do mercado LGBT no Brasil e verificar o relacionamento da comunidade LGBT com o setor hoteleiro, uma vez que é este segmento, um nicho de mercado promissor. O problema de pesquisa foi embasado no questionamento de se o sistema de hotelaria no Brasil corresponde a expectativa LGBT e qual a influência da discriminação contra a comunidade LGBT em sua relação com o setor hoteleiro. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica. O presente estudo aborda o conceito de hotelaria, segmentação, o valor da hotelaria LGBT para a economia, a formação do nicho mercadológico LGBT, os preceitos básicos para entendimento do panorama do mercado LGBT no Brasil e a importância da comunidade LGBT como segmento de interesse da hotelaria. / The hotel industry is one of the service provision fields that most rapidly grows and contributes to the positive development of world economy. Brazil’s perspective is also promising since events such as the World Cup and the Olympic Games create high occupation rates and high guest demand. To meet this demand, segmentation is required. In broad terms, it consists of distinct needs, attributes and perspectives. In addition to these targets, there is the creation of sub-segments, such as hotels aimed at the male audience (segmentation) for leisure purposes (subsegmentation). As one of the most important sectors, the LGBT hotel market has great prominence abroad. In the US, it can move about 68 billion dollars a year. In Brazil, the numbers reach R$ 150 billion per year. The effects of LGBT hospitality are more expressive in cities like Sao Paulo, where a world-renowned Gay Parade takes place, and Rio de Janeiro, through which Carnival attracts thousands of LGBT tourists. Events such as those cited, fill hotels, restaurants and sights. This study addresses the concept of hospitality, segmentation, value of LGBT hospitality to the economy, the formation of the LGBT market niche, the basic precepts for understanding the overview of LGBT market in Brazil and the importance of the LGBT community as a segment of hospitality. The intention of the article is to make a brief overview of the LGBT market in Brazil and check the relationship of the LGBT community with the hotel industry, since it is this segment, a promising niche market. The research problem was based on questioning of the hospitality system in Brazil corresponds to LGBT expectation and the effect of discrimination against the LGBT community in its relation to the hospitality industry. The methodology used was literature. The current study clarifies the concept of hospitality, segmentation, the value of LGBT Hotel industry for the economy, the formation of LGBT marketing niche, the basic rules for understanding the LGBT market in Brazil and the importance of the LGBT community as the hospitality segment of

The phenomenon of LGBT affirming Black Churches and their response to the HIV/AIDS crisis in Black AmericaLewis, Terrence Omar January 2012 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / PLEASE NOTE: Boston University Libraries did not receive an Authorization To Manage form for this thesis or dissertation. It is therefore not openly accessible, though it may be available by request. If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at open-help@bu.edu. Thank you. / There is a psychosexual health crisis in the African American community, with disproportionate rates of HIV/AIDS infections and poorer medical treatment outcomes for Black men and women (Fullilove, 2006; CDC, 201 0). In contrast to the homophobic responses of most Black Churches, some Black Churches are offering an affirmative ministry for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) individuals. This dissertation examines how these ministries developed and what strategies they employ in response to the HIV/AIDS health crisis. Building on Stigmatization theory, Queer theory, and previous research on Black Churches, I construct a conceptual framework for interpreting this phenomenon. Using the Heuristic methodology, I explore the historical, theological, and practical dimensions of four LGBT -affirming African American ministries.
During a period of four to six weeks with each church, I conducted two narrative
mterviews with the pastors, 15 to 20 hours of observation of ministry activities, and a
review of church documents regarding relationships with the LGBT community. Using
narrative analysis and grounded theory, I analyzed the interviews, documents and observational field notes for evidence of the LGBT affirmative ministry. I constructed
holistic profiles of each church and a composite profile of the four.
All four pastors credited formal theological education and personal experiences
with the LGBT community as sources of their theologies. Two of the pastors self-identified as members of the LGBT community; LGBT inclusion was the central focus of their ministries. The other two pastors integrated LGBT inclusion into a broad based social justice ministry that focused on multiple oppressions, including racism and sexism. All four pastors seek to avoid the psychological, spiritual, and physical harm that homophobic Black churches inflict on LGBT Black folk, and seek thereby to discourage behaviors that contribute to the proliferation of HIV/AIDS. Each pastor offered LGBT affirmative strategies for decreasing LGBT stigmatization and HIV infections in the Black community. / 2031-01-01

How Same-Sex Spouses of Female Enlisted Soldiers Perceive Support in Military Communities Post-DADT/DOMA RepealsGutman, Cristina F. 01 January 2017 (has links)
The end of the Vietnam War heralded the beginning of the all-volunteer Army. In the interest of soldier retention, research focused on the military spouse, their challenges and needs. Four decades of research indicate that soldier deployments, separation from loved ones, and limited career options were among factors negatively impacting psychological and physiological well-being of this population. Support offered through military formal and informal support networks, however, provides some relief. The repeals of Don't Ask, Don't Tell and Defense of Marriage Act expanded the military family to include same-sex spouses yet a review of the literature revealed no research on this relatively new phenomenon. This hermeneutic phenomenological study explored how same-sex spouses of enlisted female soldiers perceive support in their military communities. Presented are findings of semi structured interviews conducted with 12 spouses of active duty enlisted female soldiers recruited using purposive and snowball sampling. Spouses shared their experiences by answering 8 open-ended questions. Research credibility and validity included verbatim transcription and member checking for accuracy, reflexive journaling, audit trail maintenance, and data saturation; manual coding and NVivo11 identified emergent themes and subthemes. Data revealed spouses faced additional stressors due to their sexual minority status, and perceived rejection from support resources created feelings of alienation and isolation. This research represents the first foundational study of this minority group in this setting. Social implications include a deeper understanding of these spouses by unit commanders, chaplaincies, informal support groups, health care providers, and other military agencies in order that these may improve existing, or create additional, support networks and services.

Skewing the Nation: Mobilizing Queer Citizenship in South Africavan der Wal, Ernst 04 February 2022 (has links)
To belong is not always an easy thing, especially when ideas surrounding a person’s ability to fit in, join in and be in, is dependent upon normative codes of gender and sexuality. This is especially true for individuals whose genders and sexualities run counter to those normative ideals that have become cemented in the discourses of state and nation. Departing from this supposition, this article is interested in the national imaging and imagining of variant1 genders and sexual orientations; that is, the way in which citizenship, as a form of belonging, is visually
negotiated from an lbgti (that is lesbian, bisexual, gay, trans and intersex) perspective. Images that speak of/to the nation on the topic of lbgti citizenship are complex representational devices, as they encapsulate a marked sense of difference and departure, while they also reveal a profound desire for solidarity and reconciliation.

"None of us can go it alone": The Informal Caring Experiences of LGBT Older AdultsGeffros, Sophie 11 1900 (has links)
This paper examines the caring experiences of 7 LGBT older adults in Southwestern Ontario. Up to 2 90-minute interviews were conducted with 7 participants which were then transcribed and analyzed using interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA). Participants described life histories of discrimination and isolation, as well as contemporary experiences of medical discrimination. As a result, participants were highly skeptical of the formal care system, with only one indicating they would be willing to enter long term care.
Analysis was conducted according to four themes that were identified while engaging in the interpretive phenomenological process. The research was influenced by life course theory and cultural scripts: specifically, that the current cohort of LGBT+ older adults is perhaps the first to age openly in their identity and as a result lack cultural scripts as to what they should do as they age. Questions were open-ended and asked participants about their experiences giving or receiving care, life histories of discrimination, and how their care experiences influence their plans for the future. Although no questions were directly asked about the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the legacy of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on contemporary LGBT older adults became a major theme of this paper. Other themes identified include the role that stigma and concerns about autonomy play in their plans for the future, the importance of political advocacy and community caregiving for LGBT older adults, and how LGBT older adults have developed resiliency and the practice of holding loved ones in personhood in order to cope with medical issues and death. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA) / This paper examines the experiences of LGBT older adults giving and receiving informal care for physical or mental health conditions. It highlights themes of stigma and autonomy, the relationship between community caregiving and political advocacy, the legacy of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and how LGBT older adults hold each other and the dead in personhood. Seven LGBT older adults from Southern Ontario were interviewed about their experiences with care, and the relationship between social structures and discrimination and their personal experiences with the medical system.

Multiple minority identities : Queer and Muslim Arab AmericansDuvall Brown, Timothy A. 01 January 2009 (has links)
People who are Queer Muslim Arab Americans have unique experiences, as their multiple identities often clash head-on with cultural expectations of their respective communities. To fully grasp the concept of someone who identifies as such, this thesis explores each minority identity individually, and then examines the interactions of all three identities. The Double Jeopardy and Intersectional Invisibility theories of multiple minority identities are explored in relation to people who are Queer Muslim Arab Americans. Scenarios are outlined in which each theory seems more relevant. Finally, community needs of Queer Muslim Arab Americans are discussed, with a focus on the opportunities that are available to mental health providers and community psychologists to make a positive impact on this multiple minority community.
