Background and Aims: In view of limitations in existing models, a study was devised to examine the impact of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) on masculine gender identity in relation to other background factors. Design and Participants: A mixed design incorporated qualitative and quantitative components. A theoretical sample of ten abused men was interviewed, five of whom identified as heterosexual and five as homosexual. Measures: Interview transcripts were subjected to Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Smith 1996) and a thematic coding frame developed. Modified Repertory Grids (Kelly 1955) were administered to examine participants' conceptualisation of gender categories and to elucidate patterns of identification between participants, abusers, and other key figures. A further selection of transcript data was micro-coded in order to map gender associations of specific participant responses. Results: Findings indicated that, while CSA did compromise identifications with 'masculine' values of power, agency and control, participants also reported conflicts over their reduced capacity for identification with positive 'feminine' characteristics. These included emotional expression and other interpersonal competencies. Contrary to the Masculinity Model of Adjustment (Antill and Cunningham 1980), many participants expressed ambivalence towards conventional gender roles, and had experienced attempts to conform to them as ego-dystonic. The results provided some evidence consistent with theories of Gender Shame (Mendel 1992), and supported the view that an adequate conceptualisation of the effects of CSA upon gender should incorporate interactions between abuse and other aspects of the individual's developmental and social context. Clinical Implications: The study supported the view that the framework of conventional gender and sexual categories may be of limited relevance in work with sexually abused men. It endorsed the need for clinicians to set aside some existing assumptions in the literature, and develop more sophisticated models of gender more congruent with survivors' perceptions regarding the impact of CSA upon gender and sexuality.

nÃo hà / The objective of this study is to analyze how men with spinal cord injury experience their sexuality from a different body/identity as paraplegia or quadriplegia, taking into account the interference of erotic and effective exchanges in these experiments. In this dissertation, I develop my narrative from personal and social conflicts these individuals, also showing other forms of vision for the handicapped, wich are linked to the bodies of deviante eroticism and pornography of disability. The methodology used resulted from a need from their own field of study, so the nethnography was the most convenient tool, because it allows interation through the internet, wich provided greater accessibility to and interlocutors. Firstly, the interviews were in person and later mediated by videoconferencing. / O Objetivo deste estudo à analisar como homens com lesÃo medular vivenciam sua sexualidade a partir de uma diferenÃa corporal/identitÃria como a paraplegia ou a tetraplegia, levando em conta a interferÃncia das trocas erÃticas e afetivas nestas experiÃncias. Nessa dissertaÃÃo, desenvolvo minha narrativa a partir dos conflitos pessoais e sociais desses indivÃduos, mostrando tambÃm outras formas de visÃo sobre o deficiente fÃsico, que estÃo ligadas à erotizaÃÃo dos corpos desviantes e à pornografia da deficiÃncia. A metodologia utilizada decorreu de uma necessidade proveniente do prÃprio campo de estudo, a netnografia foi, portanto, a ferramenta mais conveniente, jà que possibilita a interaÃÃo atravÃs da internet, o que proporcionou uma maior acessibilidade aos e dos interlocutores.

Jackie Chan has had a long and consistently successful career in the entertainment industry, becoming the most universally recognized Chinese performer, second only perhaps, to Bruce Lee. His rags-to-riches path to stardom has been well documented and oft quoted. At a time when all the up-and-coming martial arts actors felt the pressure to be carbon copies of Bruce Lee, Chan made his mark on the screen by making his persona everything that Lee?s wasn?t. With 1978?s Snake in the Eagle?s Shadow and Drunken Master, Chan?s revolutionary comic and realistic persona was firmly established with audiences. Throughout the 80s and 90s, Chan remained undeniably the biggest star in the East, demonstrating wild popularity in not only Asia, but throughout Europe and Africa as well. After several failed attempts at breaking into the American market, Chan finally achieved success with 1998?s Rush Hour. Unfortunately, success in the West has come with strict limitations placed on the characters he has been allowed to play. These limitations most often manifest themselves in the sexuality and morality of the characters, as well as the dramatic opportunities available to Chan within the films. In order to keep Chan?s vast filmography ? which has recently seen him sign on to his 100th leading role ? I have separated it into three distinct stages. The first stage of his career begins with his groundbreaking turn in Snake in the Eagle?s Shadow and ends with his last Asian film before successfully breaking into Hollywood, 1998?s Who am I?. From this point on, his career takes two distinct paths: the path in Hollywood, beginning with Rush Hour, and the path in Asia, which begins with 1999?s Gorgeous. Each stage features distinct characteristics and trends with rare digression. I will provide examples from a selection of films within each stage of his career in order to clarify the traits and characteristics of the roles he has taken in each one. The purpose of this thesis is twofold. First and foremost, it will reveal the extent to which Chan faces negative stereotyping in the United States by clearly offering the contrasting positive representations he is able to achieve overseas. The second aim, which has naturally arisen from the workings of the first, is a critical look at a career that has found its actor bored with the kinds of films that have brought him worldwide fame.
