[en] RECREATING PLACES FOR ONESELF: SOCIALIZATION AND SELF-RECOGNITION OF LGBTI+ MIGRANTS IN RIO DE JANEIRO / [pt] RECRIANDO LUGARES PARA SI: SOCIABILIDADE E AUTORRECONHECIMENTO DE MIGRANTES LGBTI+ NO RIO DE JANEIROFLAVIA BELMONT DE OLIVEIRA 07 March 2024 (has links)
[pt] A presente tese de doutorado versa sobre perspectivas infra-estruturais e afetivas da
integração de pessoas venezuelanas LGBTI+ na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Para essa finalidade,
recorre à literatura sobre migração, gênero e sexualidade; a relatórios e documentos de
Organizações Não-governamentais, Organizações Internacionais, e a entrevistas semi-estruturadas com oito pessoas migrantes venezuelanas LGBTI+, tendo o objetivo de abordar
dimensões variadas da integração, palavra que merece olhares críticos a partir da percepção de
que gênero e sexualidade perpassam a infra-estrutura migratória, mesmo em se tratando da cis-heterossexualidade, desde a decisão de migrar até a (longa e contínua) chegada no local de
destino. O deslocamento de pessoas venezuelanas para o Brasil, assim como a intensificação
de fluxos de pessoas de outras nacionalidades buscando refúgio em território brasileiro na
década de 2010, vem levantando a necessidade de revisões de políticas migratórias nos níveis
federal e local que, embora tenham recentemente se multiplicado, requerem maiores debates
sobre a participação de migrantes, sobre seus direitos políticos enquanto cidadãos, e sobre as
importantes interseccionalidades que perpassam raça, gênero e sexualidade, ponto focal desta
tese. Por fim, as entrevistas semi-estruturadas lançarão luz sobre como as políticas LGBTI+ e
os desdobramentos da cidadania sexual no Brasil incidem sobre a vida das pessoas
entrevistadas, que acabam por fazer sentido de si mesmas ao narrar sobre as espacialidades e
pertencimentos que perfazem suas vidas no Rio de Janeiro. Perspectivas de interseccionalidade
e posicionalidade serão fundamentais para a reflexão de que as categorias de
migração/migrante, refúgio/refugiado e gênero e orientação sexual se realizam a partir de
processos materiais e históricos cujas incorporações acontecem de modos relacionais e
contingentes que constróem e são construídos por experiências de discriminações e
destituições. Por outro lado, permitem brechas e negociações para estratégias de sobrevivência
e aspirações subjetivas e objetivas sobre o presente e o futuro. / [en] This doctoral dissertation deals with infrastructural and affective perspectives of the
integration of Venezuelan LGBTI+ people in the city of Rio de Janeiro. For this purpose, it
draws on the literature on migration, gender and sexuality; on reports and documents from
Non-governmental Organizations, International Organizations; and semi-structured interviews
with eight Venezuelan LGBTI+ migrants, with the aim of addressing varied dimensions of
integration, a word that deserves a critical gaze based on the perception that gender and
sexuality permeate the migratory infra-structure, even when it comes to cis-heterosexuality,
from the decision to migrate to the (long and enduring) arrival at the destination. The
displacement of Venezuelan people to Brazil, as well as the intensification of flows of people
from other nationalities seeking asylum in the Brazilian territory in the 2010s, has raised the
need of revisiting migration policies at the federal and local levels which, although have
recently multiplied, require greater debates on the participation of migrants, on their political
rights as citizens, and on the important intersectionalities that permeate race, gender and
sexuality. Finally, the semi-structured interviews will shed light on how LGBTI+ policies and
the developments of sexual citizenship in Brazil affect the lives of the people interviewed, who
make sense of themselves as they narrate the spatialities and belongings that make up their
lives in Rio de Janeiro. Perspectives on intersectionality and positionality will be fundamental
to the reflection that the categories of migration/migrant, asylum/refugee and gender and sexual
orientation are realized through material and historical processes whose embodiment occurs in
relational and contingent ways that construct and are constructed by experiences of
discrimination and destitution. On the other hand, it allows strategies of survival and subjective
and objective aspirations about the present and the future.

[pt] AS ESTRATÉGIAS DE SOBREVIVÊNCIA E VISIBILIDADE DA COMUNIDADE LGBTI+ NO RIO DE JANEIRO DE 1950 A 1990 OU O ANACRONISMO COMO POTÊNCIA / [en] THE SURVIVAL AND VISIBILITY STRATEGIES OF THE LGBTI+ COMMUNITY IN RIO DE JANEIRO FROM 1950 TO 1990 OR ANACHRONISM AS POWERRODRIGO FAOUR TEIXEIRA 01 August 2024 (has links)
[pt] Esta tese traz à tona histórias até então caladas, esquecidas, subestimadas
ou vistas sobre novos prismas acerca da cena LGBTI+ do Rio de Janeiro a partir
da década de 1950, quando os homossexuais (masculinos) começam a ser mais
notados (e não apenas apontados) no espaço público da cidade, na época dos
concursos de fantasias dos bailes carnavalescos da Praça Tiradentes. A partir de
então, procurou-se mapear os principais espaços de convivência, eventos,
costumes, gostos e códigos culturais dessa comunidade que fizeram do Rio uma
metrópole bastante gay dos anos 1950 aos 1980, na vanguarda do tema no país.
Tudo isso baseado em depoimentos de personalidades de destaque, pioneiros
ativistas, mas também personagens anônimos cujas histórias são igualmente
representativas, além de uma farta documentação, incluindo a da imprensa
normativa e da nascente imprensa gay. Em meio a um contexto hostil,
extremamente moralista e homofóbico, incluindo perseguições e estigmas
diversos, tais depoimentos mostram a capacidade de resistência e superação de
gays, lésbicas, travestis, transformistas, transexuais e bissexuais cariocas ou que
escolheram a cidade para morar. Uma população que conseguiu, apesar de tudo,
exercer com fervor sua maneira de ser neste período e está viva para contar e
celebrar detalhes submersos de uma história que até então corriam o risco de ser
apagados. / [en] This thesis brings to light stories that were previously silent, forgotten, underestimated or seen from new perspectives about the LGBTI+ scene in Rio de Janeiro from the 1950s onwards, when homosexuals (males) began to be morenoticed (and not just pointed out) in the city s public space, at the time of the costume contests at the carnival balls in Praça Tiradentes. From then on, we sought to map the main living spaces, events, customs, tastes and cultural codes of this community that made Rio a very gay metropolis from the 1950s to the 1980s, at the forefront of the topic in Brazil. All of this based on testimonies from prominent personalities, activist pioneers, but also anonymous characters whose stories are equally representative, in addition to abundant documentation including that of the normative press and the nascent gay press. In the midst of a hostile, extremely moralistic and homophobic context, including persecution and various stigmas, such testimonies show the capacity for resistance and overcoming of gays, lesbians, transvestites, transformers, transsexuals and bisexuals from Rio or who chose the city to live. A population that managed, despite everything, to fervently exercise its way of being during this period and is alive to tell and celebrate submerged details of a history that until then were at risk of being erased.

[en] PERFORMATIVE TRACES IN HUMANITARIAN RECEPTION: MIGRATION AND ASYLUM OF VENEZUELAN LGBTI+ PEOPLE IN OPERAÇÃO ACOLHIDA / [pt] RASTROS PERFORMATIVOS NO ACOLHIMENTO HUMANITÁRIO: MIGRAÇÃO E REFÚGIO DE VENEZUELANAS LGBTI+ NA OPERAÇÃO ACOLHIDARICARDO PRATA FILHO 31 August 2023 (has links)
[pt] Esta tese de doutorado investiga o acolhimento humanitário de pessoas LGBTI+
pela Operação Acolhida (2018-2022) como resposta do Brasil para o fluxo de
migrantes e refugiadas venezuelanas no país, pensando um panorama dos serviços
oferecidos e das questões que surgem no acolhimento e na integração dessa
população no território brasileiro. Uma abordagem da performatividade de Judith
Butler amparada por Jacques Derrida será usada como estratégia analítica para
entender as práticas, os discursos, os protocolos e as regras empreendidas nesse
caso pensando a reiteração de normas de gênero, sexo e sexualidade, do
humanitarismo e de Estado. Nesse sentido, o texto é um enquadramento parcial de
reiterações performativas da Operação Acolhida que podem (re)criar
(im)possibilidades não-intencionais para migrantes e refugiadas venezuelanas
LGBTI+. A realidade social LGBTI+fóbica traz consigo atravessamentos culturais
locais e transfronteiriços em que imperam lacunas, silêncios, segregação e
violências. Enquanto a lógica humanitária traz consigo as narrativas e protocolos
da crise, da emergência estabelecendo pressa e reforçando ausências constitutivas;
e o Estado traz consigo a demanda da contenção, da gestão e governo das
populações e espaços, criando narrativas de (des)acolhida. Nessa sobreposição
normativa e regulatória do contexto de acolhimento da Operação Acolhida, a
população migrante e refugiada LGBTI+ necessita de integração a médio e longo
prazo e de políticas que garantam seus direitos no país. Demandas de
empregabilidade, saúde e assistência social se multiplicam em um universo em que
o pensamento de curto prazo é reproduzido de forma central. Os limites, problemas
e avanços da estrutura logística humanitária são foco do trabalho e delinearão os
achados da pesquisa apontando para uma reflexão em torno da adaptação de
protocolos e de uma crítica dialógica. / [en] This PhD thesis investigates the humanitarian reception of LGBTI+ people from
Operação Acolhida (2018-2022) as a response from Brazil to the flow of
Venezuelan migrants and refugees in the country, thinking about an overview of
the services offered and the issues that arise in the encounter and integration of this
population in the Brazilian territory. An approach to Judith Butler s performativity
supported by Jacques Derrida will be used as an analytical strategy to understand
the practices, discourses, protocols and rules undertaken in this case thinking about
the reiteration of norms of gender, sex and sexuality, humanitarianism and the State.
In this sense, the text is a partial framing of performative reiterations of the
Operação Acolhida that can (re)create unintentional (im)possibilities for
Venezuelan LGBTI+ migrants and refugees. The LGBTI+phobic social reality
brings with it local and international cultural crossings in which gaps, silences,
segregation and violence prevail. While the humanitarian logic brings with it the
narratives and protocols of crisis, of emergency, establishing haste and reinforcing
constitutive absences; and the State brings with it the demand for containment,
management and government of populations and spaces, creating (un)welcoming
narratives. In this normative and regulatory overlap of the reception context of
Operação Acolhida, the LGBTI+ migrant and refugee population needs medium
and long-term integration and policies that guarantee their rights in the country.
Employability, health and social assistance demands multiply in a universe in which
short-term thinking is centrally reproduced. The limits, problems and advances of
the humanitarian logistical structure are the focus of this work and will outline the
research findings, pointing to a reflection around the adaptation of protocols and a
dialogic critique.

The European Union and the politicization of gender and sexuality in the reforms of the Common European Asylum System (1999-2020)Le Bellec, Amandine Rosette Simone Kylie 20 September 2022 (has links)
The history of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) is often considered to be tightly intertwined to that of European security, and late developments in European cooperation indeed seem to demonstrate that asylum has become first and foremost a matter of security in Europe. Yet, this tightening of policies contrasts with the flourishing of proposals claiming to mainstream equality throughout European legislation. This dissertation examines the way a politicized issue in the field of equality—LGBTI rights—has become incorporated into a cooperation mechanism that is itself divisive among Member States, the CEAS. It answers the following question: what does the European LGBTI asylum debate demonstrate about the role played by politicization in shaping the meaning and form taken by equality in European policies? Through a qualitative inquiry, it shows that while the CEAS has been a key space of renegotiation of LGBTI equality in Europe, this deepening came at the cost of the disarticulation of LGBTI emancipation from migrants’ rights. Contrarily to what has been assumed by the literature on homonationalism, this disarticulation was not strategically constructed by LGBTI activists. It rather originated from the predominance of the paradigm of “migration governance”, which depoliticizes exclusions and divides causes to better manage populations. Consequently, even though politicization is often perceived as a negative phenomenon by policymakers, this dissertation shows that what is needed to make the CEAS hold its promises of protection is not less, but more political debate. Only through this re-politicization will new and collective forms of equality emerge. / Le Régime d’Asile Européen Commun (RAEC) est souvent critiqué pour la vision sécuritaire de l’asile qu’il incarne. Il est vrai que son histoire reste marquée par la volonté des Etats-Membres de contrôler la mobilité humaine sur le sol européen. Toutefois, bien que les récents durcissements des politiques communautaires semblent confirmer cette sécuritisation du droit d’asile, ceux-ci contrastent avec l’affirmation croissante de la nécessité de « mainstreamer » le principe d’égalité au sein du droit européen. Prenant cette contradiction pour point de départ, cette thèse examine la manière dont un enjeu controversé au sein du champ de l’égalité – les droits LGBTI – fut incorporé au sein d’un mécanisme de coopération lui-même conflictuel pour les Etats-Membres, le RAEC. Elle répond à la question suivante : en quoi le débat européen sur l’asile LGBTI interroge-t-il le rôle joué par la politisation dans la redéfinition des politiques d’égalité en Europe ? A partir d’une enquête qualitative, cette thèse montre que si le RAEC fut un espace-clé de l’approfondissement de l’égalité LGBTI en Europe, ce fut au prix de la construction des droits LGBTI et des droits des migrants comme deux enjeux distincts. Cette division, toutefois, prend sa source non pas dans une instrumentalisation homonationaliste, mais plutôt dans les dispositifs dépolitisants de gouvernance et de triage des populations qui prédominent désormais au sein des politiques européennes, dépolitisant les exclusions et fragmentant les causes. Face à cette logique individualisante, seule la repolitisation du débat permettra d’inventer de nouvelles formes de politiques d’égalité porteuses d’émancipation collective.

Coming Out of the Margins: LGBTI Activists in Costa Rica and NicaraguaAbelove, Samantha 01 January 2015 (has links)
For decades LGBTQ rights have been approached purely by a legal strategy, in particular advocating for the legalization of same-sex marriage. However, discrimination and violence against the LGBTQ community continues to be a major issue in Latin America because of cultural values such as Catholicism and machismo that uphold a standard of and, in turn, have control over people’s sexuality. Using a human rights approach towards the politics of sexuality, LGBTI activists in Costa Rican and Nicaragua have been successful in transforming public opinion about sexuality and more importantly, sexual diversity. As a result of their egalitarian framework and efforts to educate people about sexual diversity, they have made great advancements toward achieving acceptance and equality for LGBTI people. This study focuses on how Costa Rican and Nicaraguan LGBTI activists have worked around traditional cultural values such as Catholicism and machismo that prevent people from accepting and tolerating LGBTI people. The examples of LGBTI activists in these two countries have important implications for other LGBTI activists and the strategies they use to try to achieve full equality (social and legal) for people whose sexual identity differs from the conventional.

Transnationalism, an idea of human rights approach to violence against vulnerable groups (case study LGBT communities in Uganda)Obenga, Peter January 2018 (has links)
This paper investigates the development of transnational human rights activists’ networks and how they operate and influence LGBTI human rights activist networks in Uganda against violence on the Ugandan LGBTI communities. The case study, employs semi structured interviews to investigate, how transnational networks are used as a mobilization too in promoting LGBTI human rights in Uganda. Further investigation is done on how transnational networks influence different social networks within local LGBTI activist groups when dealing with violence against the LGBTI communities. The study is taken from a view point of different local LGBTI activist groups and their close link with other international organizations and human rights bodies specifically from countries such as Sweden. Theories surrounding transnational networks and social networks are used in order to frame both cross border relations and local networks among the LGBTI groups. The study also calls for further research on other actors such as transnational migrants and individual activist including social media activist and their impact on the rights of LGBTI in Uganda.

Breaking the Walls : The First Pride March in Bosnia and HerzegovinaMihaljevic, Stipo January 2020 (has links)
Pride Marches are usually considered as the most important manifestations of LGBTI activism and politics, either as festive and commercial celebrations or protests against violations of human rights of the LGBTI population. The first BiH Pride March from September 2019 successfully took the form of the latter, under heavy security measures and without any incidents in Sarajevo. Bosnia is regarded as a highly patriarchal country with strong homophobia and structural discrimination towards its minorities and marginalized groups. In that context, the Pride March is the most visible expression of LGBTI struggles for social recognition and acceptance. It also illustrates the status of human rights in BiH and represents a form of symbolic politics concerning the EU. This study aims to examine how the event was organized, how it indicated the human rights of LGBTI persons in the country, and what was the influence of Western Embassies and international organizations in BiH on its preparation and staging. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the organizers, the attendees, activists, and members of the LGBTI community in the country; 11 in total. The analysis shows a connection between the egalitarian Organizing Committee (activists/individuals) and the March´s claim for equality of LGBTI people in BiH society, including a correlation between the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and discrimination of LGBTI persons in BiH. The analysis also shows strong cooperation between the organizers and the international community in the country. The study concludes the March being organized as a collaborative and a multi-level project, indicating the discrimination and homophobia through additional security costs imposed on the organizers. Finally, the study finds the international community´s efforts as co-decisive for March´s success.

Rainbow Flags and Rubber Bullets : A Framing Analysis of LGBTI+ and Pride in Contemporary Turkey / Regnbågsflaggor och Gummikulor: : En Framinganalys av HBTQI+ och Pridei Samtida TurkietSjöstrand, Julia January 2023 (has links)
The LGBTI+ community in Turkey are regularly subjected to discrimination, threats andviolence. This study aims to analyze how two Turkish newspapers cover LGBTI+ in Turkey,with a time frame of the last ten years and a sub-focus on the ban of Istanbul pride in 2015. Ipresent a qualitative approach to the study based on framing analysis regarding mediacoverage. The analysis applies to articles and citations within these, using four different‘frames’ adapted from previous research; equality frame, victim frame, morality frame andpropaganda of homosexuality frame. The results show a decrease of LGBTI+ coveragewithin the examined time frame and a variation of frame usage. There are indications that thepride ban of 2015 may have been a shifting point for framing regarding both articles andcitations. The results also uncover a substantial decrease in the quantity of coverage on thetopic. The results of the two newspapers differ, indicating different media outlets portrayLGBTI+ people in diverse ways.

The latest progress in human rights protection of LGBTI community in the Inter-American field / Los avances más recientes en la protección de los derechos humanos del grupo LGBTI en el ámbito interamericanoNegro Alvarado, Dante Mauricio 10 April 2018 (has links)
The text describes the main progress in depicting the LGBTI topic in the Inter-American area. It begins with the analysis of some conceptual issues that are crossed to the topic and discuss the importance of including political commitments and statements in the resolutions adopted by the General Assembly of OAS (Organization of American States) related to the LGTBI community protection. Even though, a few cases have gone to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, some landmark cases have deserved the Inter-American Court of Human Rights opinion. This produces an interesting case law on the matter. Finally, the text covers the latest Inter-American Convention on human rights adopted by the General Assembly of OAS in 2013, which includes the LGBTI community. That Conventionconstitutes the first regional treaty in force on the matter. / El artículo describe los principales avances que han contribuidoa visibilizar la temática de las Lesbianas, Gays, Bisexuales, Travestis e Intersexuales (LGBTI) a nivel interamericano. Para ello, comienza con el análisis de algunas cuestiones conceptuales que son transversales al tema y discute la importancia que tiene la inclusión de varios compromisos políticos y declaraciones en las resoluciones de la Asamblea General de la OEA referentes a la protección de la comunidad LGBTI. Si bien aún pocos casos han llegado a la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, algunos casos emblemáticos han merecido el pronunciamiento de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, lo que ya genera una jurisprudencia interesante sobre el tema. Finalmente, el texto aborda el contenido de la más reciente Convención Interamericana sobre derechos humanos adoptada por la Asamblea General de la OEA en 2013, la cual incluye dentro de su ámbito de aplicación al colectivo LGBTI. Así, dicha Convención constituye el primer tratado regional en vigor referido a la materia.

The rights and experiences of LGBTI refugees in Europe: a comparative study of procedures and practices in Italy and SwedenMatheson, Giorgia January 2019 (has links)
The main problem of this thesis was the comparative analysis of the procedures in place in Sweden and Italy for the reception and support of LGBTI asylum seekers fleeing from war. The aim was to understand if the Swedish and Italian asylum and social systems are supporting and protecting the rights of LGBTI asylum seekers equally, also by uncovering how these procedures affect individuals. The method used to carry out this study was analysis of secondary documents. Queer and migration research, as well as reports, were used to provide a general framework to the issue, while country-specific data was sought in current domestic legislation and country reports carried out by local and international NGOs invested in LGBTI and migrants rights. The gathered information was examined from a descriptive, critical and constructive perspective, and placed within a prevailing comparative framework. Indeed, at the core of the study, lies a comparison between procedural differences in Sweden and Italy concerning the reception and protection of LGBTI asylum seekers who flee war. It was found that in Sweden and Italy people seeking refuge from war torn countries have much higher possibilities to be granted asylum than any other group of migrants. However, with regards to LGBTI asylum seekers from other countries, the social and asylum system of both are structurally violent in that the exclusion and discrimination against sexual minority refugees is the standard. In fact, LGBTI asylum seekers face similar challenges related to their intersectional identity in Sweden as well as Italy, although to different degrees: compared to Italy, Sweden has more standard procedures set in place that help queer asylees have a better experience. Nevertheless, neither systems hold up to the standard they should as consistent reports describe unlawful practices that violate humanitarian law and breach of Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights. Ultimately, LGBTI asylum seekers appear to have virtually no control over any aspect of their application or experience in the asylum and social system in Sweden as well as Italy. Therefore, rather than experiencing a newfound freedom, in entering the Italian and Swedish democratic spaces, these individuals simply experience a different kind of oppression.
