1	La politique du vide comme riposte à l'hétéronormativité : regard foucaldien sur le militantisme de Queer Nation Latour, Mathieu 02 1900 (has links) (PDF) Queer Nation est un groupe d'action politique états-unien qui a émergé au début des années 1990 dans le cadre plus large de la mouvance queer. Son passage dans le paysage du militantisme contre l'hétéronormativité fut de courte durée et a souvent été perçu comme une aventure sans fondement idéologique et stratégique. À partir de la pensée de Michel Foucault, nous érigerons un cadre théorique novateur de façon à donner un sens totalisant aux idées et aux actions du groupe. Autour du concept de politique du vide, nous proposerons d'abord que Queer Nation a entrepris son combat en tentant de renverser le processus historique de la scientia sexualis mis au jour par Foucault. Nous verrons que cela passe par une volonté de faire travailler le sens de l'homosexualité, exercice d'inspiration postmoderne qui s'articule autour de deux axes. Le premier est la désidentification qui consiste à explorer à l'infini de nouveaux plaisirs à travers une identité vide de contenu, fonctionnant davantage en mode relationnel que définitionnel. Le deuxième a trait à la grande importance accordée par la politique du vide à la visibilisation dans l'espace public de ces expérimentations corporelles. Ensuite, afin de rattacher cette pratique au domaine de la science politique, nous expliquerons que son succès est conditionnel à ce qu'elle s'inscrive dans une démarche oscillatoire, laquelle comprend deux volets. D'une part, nous parlerons de la nécessité d'adopter une optique de résistance où les luttes s'apparentent à une entrée en danse avec le pouvoir. D'autre part, nous référerons brièvement aux réflexions de Machiavel sur la virtù de manière à saisir les avantages de l'ouverture du programme politique de Queer Nation. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : homosexualité, queer, hétéronormativité, identité, militantisme, Michel Foucault.

2	Somewhere between here and there : Sharon Hayes and Catherine Opie, picturing protest Rubin, Caitlin Julia 09 October 2013 (has links) Both Sharon Hayes’s "In the Near Future" (2005-2009) and Catherine Opie’s photographs of assemblies and rallies (2007—) take protest as a topic of investigation. Hayes enacts solo protests in urban centers and documents her project’s iterations; Opie attends organized marches and demonstrations and photographs the gathered crowds. Yet while both projects perform or picture protest in the present-day, neither is wholly of this moment. In her staged actions, Hayes holds the signs and slogans of earlier social movements, and both she and Opie create and consider the images they capture in relation to experiences and visual records which predate them. This thesis considers the ways in which expectations and desires for present and future moments are rooted in understandings of social or political pasts, investigating the work of Hayes and Opie alongside the events of Occupy Wall Street and the histories of the movements these artists reference: ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), Queer Nation, and the Memphis Sanitation Strike of 1968. Focusing on the role of the documentary image in the creation and remembrance of historical events, the paper looks at how the longing to reinhabit a pictured past becomes incorporated within a desire to feel historical, and how fantasies of the past and future are absorbed into the charged space of present. Concentrating first on this temporal rearrangement (referred to by Hayes as an “unspooling of history”) and turning next to the reengagement and embodiment of symbolic imagery, this thesis explores how works by Hayes and Opie emphasize disappointment in the present scene while simultaneously endeavoring to establish alternative spaces of social and political possibility—both new sites and reimagined worlds of belonging. / text Sharon Hayes In the near future Catherine Opie ACT UP Queer Nation Occupy Wall Street Protest Protest photography Historical emotion Nostalgia

An Inter-textual Study of the Spatialization and Normalization of a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Soccer League Sport Space Strang, Matthew 25 August 2011 (has links) Sport is an inherently hegemonic hyper masculinity-building project. Therefore, tensions exist when non-hegemonic groups reclaim sport. This thesis questions how normativity is constructed and resisted in non-normative sporting spaces. Drawing from semi-structured interviews, participant observations, self-reflection qualitative methods and post-structural, spatial and post-colonial theory, I problematize how sportsmanship (sportspersonship) is “cultivated” in a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (lgbtq) soccer league . Specifically, I interrogate how queer sporting bodies negotiate (homo/hetero)normativity by either contesting or confirming neoliberal values of ‘sportsmanship.’ Five interlocking themes that emerged from my data suggest that ‘a queer muscularity’ and ‘a normative queer nationhood’ is being (re)produced by and through queer sporting bodies and sports spaces. I argue that we need to be vigilant of queer sporting spaces that claim to be or are assumed to have greater inclusivity because these spaces may actually facilitate the (re)production of dominant discourses and norms. queer nation building lgbtq glbt lgbt gay lesbian queer sport recreational sport soccer recreational soccer transgender bisexual queer nation sport space non-normative sport space sportsmanship sportspersonship homonormativity heteronormativity queer muscularity queer nationhood sporting body sport body sexual diversity sexuality recreational league lgbt sport league soccer league homonationalism 0626 0523 0814 0366
