Dans ce mémoire de maîtrise, il s'agit d'examiner le rôle du genre, de la sexualité et de la traduction dans les rapports entre deux mouvements nationalistes. D'abord, nous examinerons les représentations de la famille véchiulées dans l'autobiographie du membre du Front de libération du Québec Pierre Vallières (1938-1998), Les Nègres blancs d'Amérique. Ensuite, nous nous pencherons sur l'analyse du genre et de la sexualité contenue dans Soul on Ice, un recueil de textes écrits par le nationaliste noir Eldridge Cleaver (1933-1998). Dans les deux cas, la question de la violence révolutionnaire tiendra lieu de fil conducteur. Enfin, dans le troisième chapitre, nous relirons la traduction anglaise de Vallières, White Niggers of America, signée par Joan Pinkham. Cette relecture nous fournira l'occasion à la fois de comprendre et de critiquer, à partir de la perspective établie par la pensée de Cleaver au sujet de la masculinité noire dans une société régie par la suprématie blanche, comment Vallières essaie de bâtir des réseaux de solidarité internationaux et interraciaux entre les hommes. Dans notre conclusion, nous réunirons ces trois textes par le biais du sujet de l'internationalisme, en nous servant de la théorie queer, de la traductologie et des données biographiques pour résumer les résultats de nos recherches. / In this master's thesis, I will explore the roles of gender, sexuality and translation in the relationship between two nationalist movements. In the first section, I will look at the representations of family life contained in the autobiography of Front de liberation du Québec member Pierre Vallières (1938-1998), Les Nègres blancs d'Amérique. In the second section, I will examine the analysis of gender and sexuality offered by Soul on Ice, a collection of texts written by the Black nationalist Eldridge Cleaver (1933-1998). In the third section, I will re-read Nègres blancs in English translation—Joan Pinkham's White Niggers of America—in order both to understand and to critique, from the vantage point created by Cleaver's reading of Black masculinity in a white-supremacist society, Vallières's attempt to build networks of international and interracial solidarity between men. In the conclusion, I discuss internationalism as a way of tying the three texts together and make use of queer theory, translation theory and biographical data to formulate final remarks.

When the gender factor is analyzed with reference to other social markers, such as race and ethnicity, sexuality and social class, inequalities are accentuated in the form of hierarchies of power and subjection/oppression. This research seeks its theoretical and epistemological foundations in the studies of gender and sexuality based on the references of social constructionism, queer studies, feminisms and intersectionality, finding in Social Psychology, from a critical and political point of view, its voice, one of dispute with some (de)naturalizing, (de)essentializing and (non)universalizing discourses in Psychology. This is an investigation designed with empirical and documentary contours (both quantitatively and qualitatively), with the objective of analyzing transphobia in Brazil based on crime reports and how they are dealt with in the criminal justice system, as well as of the relations between knowledge-powerssubjectivities in the production / maintenance of transphobic violence. This paper considers the crime reports and complaints against the LGBT community received by “Disque Direitos Humanos”, a hotline intended to deal with the report of crimes against human rights, in 2014. It focuses on the monitoring of the reports as well as of a criminal case. The methodologies adopted consisted of two: Thematic Analysis and Discourse Analysis as well as (other) practices inspired by the work of Michel Foucault. The results of the research allowed us to problematize the structure and functioning of the hotline “Disque Direitos Humanos”, showing its difficulties and failures, especially regarding the destination and monitoring of the crime reports. The results suggested that, because transgender people break with the supposed linearity of the sex, gender and sexual orientation sequence, they are compulsorily sent to the margins of society; exposed (more often than not) to the dangers of the night and prostitution just as to various forms of violence, occupying, hierarchically, places of subordination and subjection. Exerted and clearly expressed transphobia is considered here as the effect of discourses and other (social) practices, such as the forbiddance of transgender people to come and go as freely as they want due to territorial dispute; the fact of not being considered human beings for a whole day, only being allowed to come out during the night; the suffering of psychological/symbolic violence through insults, curses, humiliations, threats to life and / or silences; institutional violence (both physical and sexual) and finally, in many cases, murders. The effects of multiple intersectional violence in the daily lives of transgender people are considered, then, devastating. Brazil offers many examples of such violence, since it is the country where transvestites, transsexuals and other subjects with "dissident" gender identities or not binary, are killed the most frequently. When so many demand the end of the existence of a non-cisgender, non-heterosexual, non-white body and it remains alive, such act of survival must be regarded as a political attitude of resistance. Consequently, it is vital to (re) think about changes, discursive (re)significations in Psychology and in everyday social practices, considering no longer the impossibility of transgender people leading a full life, but their possibilities of existence as legitimate and human bodies. / São nefastos os efeitos das violências cometidas contra pessoas trans (travestis e transexuais). Quando intersseccionado gênero com outros marcadores sociais, como raça e etnia, sexualidade e classe social, mostram-se acentuadas as desigualdades, hierarquias de poder e de sujeição/opressão. Esta pesquisa buscou subsídios teórico-epistemológicos nos estudos de gênero e sexualidade a partir dos referenciais do construcionismo social, estudos queer, dos feminismos e da interseccionalidade, encontrando na Psicologia Social, por um viés crítico e político, o seu lugar de fala, de disputa por discursos (des)naturalizantes, (des)essencializantes e (des)universalizantes na Psicologia. Esta é uma investigação desenhada com contornos empíricos (quantitativa e qualitativamente) e documental, que teve como objetivo a análise da transfobia brasileira a partir de denúncias e de seus fluxos no sistema de justiça; das relações entre saberes-poderes-subjetividades na produção/manutenção da violência transfóbica. Buscou-se, assim, analisar as denúncias recebidas pelo Disque Direitos Humanos, módulo LGBT, no ano de 2014, relatórios de monitoramento do mesmo serviço e um processo criminal. Os focos metodológicos adotados consistiram em dois: Análise Temática e Análises de Discurso e (outras) práticas com ‘inspiração’ em Michel Foucault. Os resultados da pesquisa permitiram problematizar a estrutura e funcionamento do Disque Direitos Humanos mostrando suas dificuldades e falhas, principalmente no que tange ao encaminhamento e monitoramento das denúncias. Os resultados sugeriram que, por romperem com a suposta linearidade da sequência sexo, gênero e orientação sexual, pessoas trans são direcionadas compulsoriamente à margem da sociedade; expostas (muitas vezes) à noite e à prostituição e a diversas modalidades de violência ocupando, hierarquicamente, lugares de subordinação e assujeitamento. Analisou-se a transfobia operada e manifesta como efeito de discursos e (outras) práticas sociais, como a impossibilidade de ir-e-vir dxs trans, por questões de territorialidade; de não serem consideradxs seres humanos por todo um dia; pela violência psicológica/simbólica por via de insultos, termos de baixo calão, humilhações, ameaças à vida e/ou silêncios; violência institucional; física; sexual e, em muitos casos, os assassinatos. Considera-se, portanto, que são graves os efeitos de múltiplas violências interseccionais presentes no cotidiano de pessoas trans, sendo o Brasil um exemplo desse processo, país em que mais se mata travestis, transexuais e outros sujeitos com identidades de gênero “dissidentes” ou não binárias. Quando um coletivo de vozes brada pelo fim da existência de um corpo não cisgênero, não heterossexual e não branco e esse permanece vivo, devemos considerar este ato de sobrevivência como uma atitude política e de resistência. Nesse sentido, deve-se (re)pensar mudanças, (re)significações discursivas na Psicologia e nas práticas sociais cotidianas, considerando não mais a impossibilidade de vida das pessoas trans mas, sim, nas suas possibilidades de existência como um corpo legítimo e humano.

This research project was a mixed method of both a quantitative and qualitative design to examine the perception of 38 gay male’s life satisfaction post coming out. In the past few years, laws affecting the gay community have been at the forefront of policies and debates, given all communities an insight into the specific challenges that are endured. As the gay community starts to openly live their lives as a gay man, there has been a need to accept and understand not only the challenges, but to give acceptance. Additionally, this project sought out to determine if the gay community feels that their life satisfaction has increased post coming out to their family, friends, and coworkers, furthermore to be able to live a life not of shame, but of pride and acceptance of themselves.

Recent queer scholarship challenges the academy’s longstanding urban and adult oriented trajectory, pointing to the way such studies ignore rural and heartland regions of the country as well as the experiences of youth. In this thesis, I craft a limited ethnographic methodological approach together with a textual analysis of The Oprah Winfrey Show to deliver portraits of gay men living in various rural or heartland areas who use their television sets to encounter and identify with LGBTQ people across the nation. The overarching aim of this project is to explore the ways in which religion, rurality, and Oprah coalesce in the process of identity creation to form rural gay men’s conceptual selves and how they are then informed by that identity formation. I will focus my textual analyses through the frames of six of Oprah Winfrey’s “ultimate viewers” to elucidate how they receive and interact with her star text, how they use television sets in the public rooms of their homes to create boundary public spheres, and how they are impacted by the show’s various uses of the coming out paradigm. In so doing, this thesis seeks to contribute to the scholarship of rural queer studies, television studies, and Oprah studies. / text

Rhetoricians have long been interested in public policy discourse. However, studies have yet to apply the micro-lens of writing process to this context. One consequence is that, while studies of policy discourse point to the complexity of this area, they do not investigate the writing behaviors this complexity inspires. Secondly, while studies of writing process in other areas of rhetoric allow us to theorize process, our theories are typically based on more structured writing environments—such as the classroom, academic discipline, and professional workplace. As a consequence, we know less about invention and other writing processes in more unpredictable, explicitly contested settings. To address these gaps, this dissertation presents a process-based case study of collaborative writing within the context of policy and legal discourse. The case study tracks the year-long work of a group of advocates who attempted to establish Domestic Partner Benefits (DPB) at a large public university. Due to legal restrictions, the writers could not assume a clear authority as they attempted to write a policy proposal together. In meetings in which they invented ideas, a prominent behavior emerged in their talk, what this dissertation refers to as role-play work. Role-play work is a theory of rhetorical invention in which writers propose roles for themselves and their audiences, develop arguments from within those roles, and try to identify how they might be recognized or misrecognized as a consequence of assuming roles. Tracing patterns in the writers’ talk, this dissertation describes role-play work at three critical junctures: in the early stages, when the group lacks legal resources, during a tumultuous hunger strike in which the institution delivers its interpretation of the law, and during the group’s later writing process, when the group has a working understanding of a legal argument they can propose. This dissertation analyzes how writers use role-play to engage authoritative discourse that manifests at each stage: first, to imaginatively co-construct what might be authoritative, next, to confront authority-as-articulated, and finally, to understand the nuance of a potentially authoritative argument. Findings presented in this dissertation may be relevant to scholarship in professional and technical communication, collaborative writing and invention, writing process research, policy discourse, discourse analysis, and queer studies. / text

In the United States, rural culture is frequently thought of as traditional and “authentically” American. This belief stems from settler colonial histories in which Native lands are stolen and “settled” by white colonial communities. Through this process, the rugged “frontier” becomes a symbol of American identity, and rural communities become the home of “real” Americans. Because settler colonization is invested in maintaining systems of white supremacy, sexism, and heteropatriarchy, these “real” Americans are figured as normatively white and straight. This dissertation analyzes the rhetorical construction of rurality in the United States, specifically focusing on the ways in which settler colonial histories shape national discussions of rural sexuality. I theorize a rhetorical practice I call rural drag, a process by which individuals in settler society can assert membership in white heteropatriarchy by performing “rurality.” I trace the development of this rhetorical practice through three case studies. In the first, I analyze 19th-century Texan legislative writings during the creation of Texas A&M University. These writings and related correspondences reveal a baseline of white supremacist and settler colonial rhetorics upon which the university established its ethos. In the second, I look at how these rhetorics continue to inform performances of sexuality and gender at Texas A&M. These performances derive from earlier rhetorical practices designed to create a space for white settler privilege. Together, these two case studies suggest that rhetorical practices shape and are shaped by the spaces in which they are practiced and the rhetorical histories of these spaces. In my final case study, I interrogate national discourses of rurality through an analysis of country western music to show how rhetorics of rurality are simultaneously local and national. I conclude by challenging scholars of rhetoric and queer studies to recognize that the relationship between rhetoric and place is key to recognizing our relationship to privilege and oppression in the United States. To further this, I propose a decolonial queerscape pedagogy that accounts for the multiple overlays of sexual identities and practices that travel through the academy while challenging the colonial histories and actions upon which the academy is built.

Individuals who do not fit neatly into the expected genetic and phenotypic XX/XY binary have been misrepresented, ignored, operated on without consent, denied legal rights, and gaslighted by multiple spheres of dominant society including, but not limited to: medicine, popular culture, and the justice system. Using Michael Foucault’s conception of 'counter-discourse' in conversation with the work of Gayatri Spivak, I ask how online intersex communities (OICs) have participated in counter-discourse by examining forums, blogs, comments, organization websites, memoirs and social media pages. Major examples of phenomena OICs respond to, engage with, and critique include: surgery on intersex infants; the introduction of the term 'DSD'; intersexuality in popular television shows; chromosomal primacy; and legal standings of intersex individuals in different countries. I found that 'counter-discourse' within OICs include efforts to: redefine the 'truth' against common problematic appeals to medicine, morals, or nature; advocate acceptance of all bodies; and create of a sense of belonging where there is space for people to heal and organize on a foundation of affinity.

abstract: The purpose of my dissertation project is to understand how Same-Gender Loving (SGL) Black Christian men negotiate their sexuality and spirituality in spaces that are not always accepting of SGL people, by examining on how Black SGL men perform their sexual identities within hegemonic institutions that often deny their existence or outwardly seek to exclude them from their communities. I have identified three scripts that Black SGL men often follow within Black religious settings. The first script that SGL people often follow in the church is that of deliverance-- confessing their same-gender desires and maintaining that they have been delivered from those desires The second is "don't ask don't tell" performed by men who many believe and suspect of being SGL; so long as they do not publicly affirm these beliefs they are able to hold a variety of positions in their religious communities.. The last script involves accepting one's same-gender desires and also affirming one's Christian beliefs, proclaiming that the two are not at odds with one another. I examine how these scripts and/or others are performed by and on the bodies of Black SGL males in two distinct sites. The first is the career and music of former gospel star Anthony Charles Williams II (Tonex / B. Slade), who has utilized the three scripts at various times in his career. The next site is that of theatre, where I explore how these scripts have been employed in dramatic texts. By reading Christian Black SGL performance through its theological parameters, I aim to discern the avenues in which Black people in the United States are able to perform same-gender sexual identities in spaces that are constructed as "homophobic," and in so doing combat the narrative of hyper-homophobia in Black communities. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Theatre 2013

Mémoire en recherche-création / Des lucioles est un roman versifié où monde intérieur et monde extérieur paraissent irréconciliables. À travers une narratrice habitée par le deuil inachevé de son père, ce projet s’interroge sur ce qui demeure après la perte lorsque les circonstances ne permettent pas que l’on s’arrête pour contempler le vide laissé par l’être perdu. Entourée de personnages habités par une douleur qu’elle croit semblable à la sienne, la narratrice fait l’expérience de l’importance de la communauté, mais également, des limites de cette même solidarité. La lumière, image parcourant le texte, expose autant la beauté que l’obscurité du milieu où la narratrice évolue. L’absence d’issue apparente pour le personnage nous révèle le sentiment d’impuissance qui l’habite face à sa situation précaire. L’essai qui le suit, Utilité et limites de la commune dans L’ange de la solitude de Marie-Claire Blais, s’articule également autour des questions d’individualité et de solidarité. À partir du concept d’hétérotopie développé par Michel Foucault, l’essai tente d’abord de comprendre la nécessité de la création d’un safe space pour les personnages marginalisés de L’ange de la solitude, puis se questionne sur la persistance des rapports de force à l’intérieur de ce lieu établi hors des instances sociales dominantes. Au cœur de cette contradiction se pose une question fondamentale sur la relation qu’entretient l’individu ostracisé avec le monde qui le rejette, et propose ainsi une réflexion sur le rapport à l’espace des communautés marginalisées. / Des lucioles is a versified novel in which intimate and outside world are shown as irreconcilable. Through a female narrator who is still grieving the death of her father, this project shows what remains after a person disappears, especially when circumstances do not allow the griever to properly process that loss. Surrounded by like-minded people who seem to be struggling as much as her in their own lives, the narrator realizes the importance of belonging to a community, but also, the limits of that solidarity. The recurring image of light shows both the beauty and the despair of the environment in which the characters evolve. The apparent lack of resolution for the protagonist tells us a lot about the helplessness of the subject facing the world they live in. The essay that follows, Utilité et limites de la commune dans L'ange de la solitude de Marie-Claire Blais, is also exploring the ideas of solidarity and community. Through the concept of hétérotopie developed by Michel Foucault, we try to understand the necessity for Blais’ characters to create a safe space for themselves. We then observe the presence of power relationships inside the friend group, despite their attempt at creating a space out of the social structure that marginalized them in the first place. With this essay, we expose the relationship between the marginalized subject and the world that rejects them, which allows us to reflect on the way these social groups interact with space in general.
