We take as the theoretical background archeology and genealogy formulated by Michel Foucault to understand the theoretical categories: discourse, power / knowledge / truth, sexuality / homosexuality and standardization. We adopted qualitative approach to analyze the corpus that was videos posted on YouTube containing pronouncement, debate, lecture and preaching of six political and religious leaders opposed to the policies of human rights aimed at the LGBT group. The definition of participants number followed the data saturation criterion proposed by Minayo (2010). To analyze the discourses we used the DA (Gregolin, 2004), whose analysis proposal was outlined by Foucault and is based on the following categories: Who speaks? Where does it speak from? What effect of meaning does it produce? Which discourses appear (statements, contradictions, repetitions, regularities and dispersions)? What great event do the discourses emerge from? The data indicate that the discursive practices of religious and political leaders materialize in aversion, rejection and exclusion discourse. They also emerge discourses that relate to LGBT with deprived people of character, promiscuous, pedophiles and threatening the social order. In view of these leaders, human rights policies should not include LGBT group. The subjects are crossed by discourses of imprint moral, religious and pseudo-scientific that support the heteronormativity. Homophobia is institutionally legitimized if we consider the place where these subjects speak. / Esta tese tem como objetivo geral analisar a discursividade produzida por parte de líderes políticos e religiosos em função das reivindicações do movimento LGBT e das políticas públicas de direitos humanos. Tomamos como embasamento teórico a arqueogenealogia formulada por Michel Foucault para compreender as categorias teóricas: discurso, poder/saber/verdade, sexualidade/homossexualidade e normatização. Adotou-se a abordagem qualitativa tendo como corpus para a análise os vídeos postados no site YouTube contendo pronunciamento, debate, preleção e pregação de seis líderes políticos e religiosos contrários às políticas de direitos humanos voltadas ao grupo LGBT. A definição do número de participantes seguiu o critério de saturação proposto por Minayo (2010). Para analisar os discursos, utilizamos a Análise do Discurso (AD) (Gregolin, 2004), cuja proposta de análise foi delineada a partir das teorizações de Foucault e tem como base as seguintes categorias: Quem fala? De onde fala? Que efeitos de sentido geram? Que discursos aparecem (enunciados, contradições, repetições, regularidades e dispersões)? A partir de que grande acontecimento os discursos emergem? A partir dos discursos analisados, são identificados sentimentos de aversão, rejeição e, consequentemente, exclusão do grupo LGBT. Emergem discursos que relacionam o grupo LGBT a pessoas desprovidas de caráter, promíscuas, pedófilas e ameaçadoras da ordem social. Na visão desses líderes, as políticas de direitos humanos não devem incluir esse grupo. Os sujeitos são atravessados por discursos de cunho moral, religioso e pseudocientífico que sustentam a heteronormatividade. Sendo assim, a homofobia está legitimada institucionalmente se considerarmos o lugar de onde esses líderes falam.

A pesquisa foi produzida com base nos pressupostos teóricos da perspectiva foucaultiana e da teoria Queer. O corpus de análise foi composto por narrativas produzidas por sujeitos/as gays, travestis e transexuais do município de Rio Grande/RS, com a articulação entre a metodologia da História Oral Temática e a Observação Participante. Para o processo analítico, utilizamos algumas ferramentas da Análise do Discurso proposta por Michel Foucault. Ao analisar as enunciações, destacamos a emergência de alguns discursos e enunciados, os quais foram problematizados ao longo dos artigos que compõem a tese. Entre estes, elencamos o enunciado a constituição da homossexualidade, o qual foi problematizado com base em três cenas enunciativas: a busca de uma explicação e/ou gênese para a homossexualidade; o desejo como constituinte da subjetividade homossexual; e as questões de gênero e suas relações com a homossexualidade. Destacamos o discurso da heteronormatividade com as enunciações que evidenciam o quanto alguns espaços educativos interpelam os sujeitos e produzem efeitos em suas subjetividades. Ao mesmo tempo em que se constituem como espaços educativos, buscam conduzir a vida dos sujeitos com base em suas estratégias de governo/governamento. O outro enunciado analisado foi a produção do corpo e a (re)invenção de si, o qual foi problematizado com as enunciações de travestis e transexuais sobre a fabricação dos seus corpos e a produção da feminilidade. A rede de enunciações produzida possibilitou entendermos como se constituem os sujeitos que participaram deste estudo e quais são as práticas de si e as estratégias de fabricação de si envolvidas no processo de produção de suas subjetividades. Evidenciamos a escola e a universidade como instituições em que o controle e a vigilância regem sua organização e estrutura. Problematizamos a necessidade de articular a discussão das temáticas multiplicidades sexuais e de gênero aos projetos político-pedagógicos das instituições de ensino, buscando desconstruir algumas “verdades” produzidas sobre as subjetividades lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, travestis e transexuais que, de alguma forma, colaboram para a produção da desigualdade e da homofobia. A heteronormatividade é expressa e reforçada em diferentes espaços sociais, em normas reguladoras de gênero e sexuais, reproduzindo práticas excludentes e discriminatórias, pois tais normas incidem sobre a negação e a invisibilidade de determinadas subjetividades. A partir de técnicas de si, transexuais e travestis trazem à tona diferentes posições de sujeito, desafiando, em muitos casos, a heteronormatividade. / This thesis was developed in the Post-Graduate Program in Science Education (Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências: química da vida e saúde), in the research line "Scientific Education: implications of scientific practices in the constitution of subjects", in order to investigate the discourses and practices of self that constitute gay, transvestite and transsexual subjects in educational spaces. The study was produced based on the foucaultian theoretical assumptions and Queer theory. The corpus of analysis consisted of narratives produced by gays, transvestites and transsexuals from Rio Grande/RS, with the link between the Thematic Oral History methodology and Participant Observation. For the analytical process, some tools from the Discourse Analysis proposed by Michel Foucault were used. While analyzing the enunciations, we highlighted the emergence of discourses and statements which were problematized in the articles that compose this thesis. Among these, we listed the statement 'the constitution of homosexuality’, which was problematized based on three enunciative scenes: the search for an explanation and/or genesis for homosexuality, the desire as constituent of homosexual subjectivity, and gender issues and their associations with homosexuality. The discourse of heteronormativity was emphasized with enunciations that show how some educational spaces question subjects and effect on their subjectivities. At the same time that they constitute themselves as educational spaces, they seek to lead lives of individuals based on their government strategies. The other analyzed statement was ‘the production of the body and self-(re)invention, which was problematized with the narratives from transvestites and transsexuals on their body fabrication and the production of femininity. The network of produced enunciations allowed us to understand how the subjects who participated in this study are constituted and what are the practices of self and the strategies of self-production involved in the production process of their subjectivities. We highlighted the school and the universitie as institutions in which control and surveillance govern its organization and structure. Also, we problematized the need for articulation between the discussion of the themes of the sexual and gender multiplicities to political-pedagogical projects of educational institutions, seeking to deconstruct some "truths" produced on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transvestite and transsexual subjectivities which, somehow, collaborate for the production of inequality and homophobia. The heteronormativity is expressed and reinforced in different social environments, in gender and sexual controlling norms, reproducing exclusionary and discriminatory practices, given that such norms affect the denial and invisibility of certain subjectivities. From techniques of the self, transsexuals and transvestites bring up different subject positions, challenging, in many cases, the heteronormativity.

O referencial teórico foi estruturado com base na discussão sobre o gênero em uma visão não essencialista, considerando-o como um fazer, e não uma propriedade dos sujeitos; e as críticas ao binarismo de gênero; e na problematização da questão transgender, sem a pretensão de esgotá-la, dada sua complexidade. Abordo também o fazer e o desfazer do gênero com apoio principalmente em Judith Butler, autores organizacionais e das ciências sociais; a hetero(norma) e a (des)identificação, com foco nas reflexões de Butler sobre o sujeito relacionado diretamente com as normas sociais, tendo em vista que as identificações nunca são completas, possibilitando diferenciações e subversões; a performatividade, a paródia e a performance de gênero, diferenciando-as e reconhecendo a performatividade imbricada com a reiteração das normas discursivas; uma breve introdução sobre o mundo dxs drags, especialmente, com foco nos estudos brasileiros. Destarte, realizei uma pesquisa qualitativa, com uma epistemologia pós-estruturalista, por meio narrativas de biográficas de dez drag queens, com inspiração na análise crítica do discurso de Fairclough (2003, 2008). A análise foi pensada a partir da obra e dos conceitos de Judith Butler tendo as seguintes categorias: Performances que contém as subcategorias sobre performances, produções e cachês, performances com o público "hétero" e "LGBTIQ", performances e sentimentos, e humor; As relações entre drags: famílias, "amigxs", "colegas" e jogos de poder; Em busca de reconhecimento para x drag queen; (Des)Identificações; e Fazendo e desfazendo gênero. Por fim, as considerações remetem à complexidade e ambivalência dessa temática nas identificações, fazeres, desfazeres e contingencialidade do gênero. Também, pensou-se na possibilidade de uma relação direta com estudos organizacionais críticos, tendo vista que a matriz heteronormativa habita a administração, mas não impede que criemos matrizes rivais. / I sought in this dissertation to understand the doing and undoing of the gender of drag queens from Belo Horizonte, using especially the works of Judith Butler (2003, 1993, 1997, 2004). The theory was structured discussing: the gender in a non-essentialist view, considering it as a doing and not a property of the subject, the criticis of the gender binary and questioning the transgender issue without intending to exhaust it given its complexity; doing and undoing the gender supporting me especially in Judith Butler, organizational and social sciences authors; (hetero) norm and the (dis) identification appropriating Butler's reflections on the subject related directly to social norms, given that the identifications are never complete, allowing differentiations and subversions; the performativity, parody and gender performance, differentiating them and recognizing the performativity imbricated with the reiteration of the discursive norms; a brief introduction to the world of drags especially focusing on Brazilian studies. Thus, I realized a qualitative research, with a poststructuralist epistemology through biographical narratives of ten drag queens, with inspiration in critical discourse analysis of Fairclough (2003, 2008). The analysis was designed from the work and concepts of Judith Butler and has the following categories: Performances that contains sub-categories: on performances, productions and caches, performances with the "straight" and "LGBTIQ" public, performances and feelings, and humor; The relationship among drags: family, "friends", "colleagues" and power games; Seeking recognition for x drag queen; Humor; (Dis) Identifications; Doing and undoing gender. Finally, considerations lead the complexity and ambivalence of this theme in the identifications, the doings, undoings and the contingentiality of the gender. Also thinking about the possibility of a direct relationship with critical organizational studies, having seen that the heteronormative matrix inhabits the administration, but does not prevent us to create rivals matrices.

The subject of this bachelor thesis is the logics and counter-logics that have structured the perception of transsexualism and the now abolished sterilization requirement for legal recognition of sex change within the Swedish legal system and governmental authority. The analyzed material consists of judgments from two court cases with opposing verdicts that took place in 2004-2005 and 2012. The main conflict in the first court case was about if the sterilization requirement entailed the destruction of frozen germ cells or not. In the second court case the antagonism was mainly about if the sterilization requirement itself was legitimate or not. The differentiation in the verdicts and the expressed logics between the court cases was through analyze linked to discursive displacements in media coverage and judicial descriptions of transsexuals and their legal rights.

Cette thèse en géographie politique et culturelle s’inscrit au sein des approches critiques de mobilités et des migrations et des études sur le genre et les sexualités. Centrée sur les individues, elle vise à éclairer la double face cachée de l’expatriation en s’intéressant au rapport à l’espace de femmes en situation de mobilité internationale, à travers l’analyse de leurs pratiques du quotidien. Elle étudie la façon dont ces pratiques translocales s’agencent, de façon multiscalaire, en un mode de vie dans la mobilité. La dimension du corps, échelle de pratique spatiale et surface d’inscription des normes de sexe et de genre, y est posée de façon centrale, autour de la notion de performance, dans la (re)production d’un espace transnational localisé. Cet angle dévoile l’expatriation comme une pratique de mobilité distinctive, oscillant entre contrainte de genre et émancipation, tout en prenant part à la reproduction et à la diffusion de l’hétéronormativité dans un contexte d’essor de la mondialisation. La méthodologie de la thèse repose sur une enquête ethnographique approfondie mêlant observation participante et entretiens semi-directifs dans un souci constant de réflexivité et en articulation avec une analyse de données statistiques et la présentation d’un large panorama de structures et lieux expatriés en présence. Basée à Luxembourg, capitale en métropolisation émergente, cette thèse se présente comme une étude de cas élargie invitant à prendre en compte les expériences subjectives de la mondialisation. / Positioned in both critical mobility and migration studies, and studies on gender and sexualities, this PhD dissertation in political and cultural geography aims at unveiling the hidden double face of expatriation. For one part, it focuses on women’s daily practices during their international mobility cycle. It thus examines how these translocal practices fit within a multiscale mobility lifestyle. For another part, it places the body as the primary space of the analysis through the concept of performance. It shows of expatriate women play out specific sexual and gender norms and roles that contribute to the (re)production of a localised transnational space. This research seeks to reveal expatriation as a distinctive mobility practice, weaving from gender coercion to emancipation, which contributes to the reproduction and the spread of heteronormativity in a context of growing globalisation. It is settled in Luxembourg, which can be characterised as an emerging metropolitan capital, where the subjective experience of globalisation can be felt. Methodologically speaking, this thesis is based on in-depth reflexive ethnographic researches, combining participant observations and semi-structured interviews, in articulation with a statistical analysis and a large panorama of Luxembourg's expatriate places and institutions.

Winterson’s Written on the Body is an experimental and provocative novel that challenges the reader’s mindset as well as society’s heteronormativity by implicitly questioning societal norms and fundamental values. With an unusual protagonist as a point of departure, upper secondary school students in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom can discuss important political and social issues and giving them the chance to become more open-minded and inclusive towards all people regardless of one’s sex, gender, and, or sexuality. This essay shows that Written on the Body with its unusual, queer protagonist challenges the heteronormativity in modern Western societies and instead of solely focusing on students’ language development during their English education, they are invited to interrupt and question set attitudes, behaviours, and traditions in modern Western societies.

Abstract The present study examines three novels by Finnish women – Johanna Sinisalo, Pirkko Saisio and Helena Sinervo – each of whom has received the Finlandia Prize for fiction. The novels Ennen päivänlaskua ei voi (2000), Punainen erokirja (2003) and Runoilijan talossa (2004) are analysed in the context of contemporary cultural change in which queer themes have become not only a visible part of cultural representations of gender and sexuality but also active constituents of the established cultural canon. The study considers the varieties of gendered and sexual meaning which are generated by this fiction and – as the novels in question deal with non-normative sexuality – it also discusses how these issues were manifested in their reception. Additionally, it investigates the problematics of a literary genre which thematises non-normative sexuality. Beyond its engagement with the interrelationship between the selected novels (along with their social context) and the present culture, institutions and canon, the study also concerns itself with the question of how non-normative sexuality is addressed and discussed in literature and its reception. The novels are examined as products of a context in which their publication had seemed like a swift, yet appropriate, response to a cultural need for the creation of new, 'liberal' and 'progressive' queer representations. In addition, they are approached as works with specific queer-political agendas, aimed at opposing and deranging the hetero establishment. The analysis of the novels is consequently grounded in the politics of performativity, queer theory and the problematics of its domestic contextualisation, taking account, too, of the intersection between performativity and queer reading. This methodology is called queer political reading. The novels under investigation participate in the cultural, societal, social and discursive processes that use gender and sexuality to construct meaning. The fact that they have also received the Finlandia Prize connects them to a wider context, into a contemporary culture and society, which places sexuality at its centre. Where wide and far-reaching gender issues, brought about by cultural, intellectual, judicial and political changes, marked the turn of the 20th century, the turn of the present century is more explicitly sexual in character, facilitated by contemporary phenomena – such as the epochal changes in theories of gender and sexuality, or legislation and presentations of sexual culture, which have manifested themselves over recent years. Nevertheless, it would seem that discussions of queerness tend to remain allusive and implied rather than explicit, taking not only peculiar but also traditional forms, in which the rhetoric of the closet is used extensively. On the one hand, queerness is quite visible in representations of sexuality. But on the other hand, the reception of that queerness remains largely in the closet. This suggests that – particularly on institutional levels – queer themes can be rendered explicit only when it remains contextually suitable. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimus tarkastelee kolmen kirjallisuuden Finlandia-palkinnolla palkitun naiskirjailijan, Johanna Sinisalon, Pirkko Saision ja Helena Sinervon palkintoromaaneja Ennen päivänlaskua ei voi (2000), Punainen erokirja (2003) ja Runoilijan talossa (2004). Teoksia analysoidaan osana nykyistä kulttuurista käännettä, jossa heteronormatiivisuutta kyseenalaistavat, queerit kulttuurituotteet ovat tulleet osaksi sukupuolen ja seksuaalisuuden kulttuurisia esityksiä ja jopa osaksi hyväksyttyä kulttuurista kaanonia. Tutkimuksessa kysytään, millaisia sukupuolen ja seksuaalisuuden merkityksiä Sinisalon, Saision ja Sinervon normienvastaista seksuaalisuutta käsittelevät teokset tuottavat ja miten aiheet tulevat esille vastaanotossa. Lisäksi pohditaan normienvastaisia seksuaalisuuksia käsittelevän kirjallisuuden lajiproblematiikkaa. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan paitsi teosten, myös niiden yhteiskunnallisen kontekstin kautta nykyistä kulttuuriin ja sen instituutioihin ja jopa kaanoniin kytkeytyviä tapoja, joilla normien vastaisista seksuaalisuuksista puhutaan ja kirjoitetaan sekä kirjallisuudessa että sen vastaanotossa. Romaaneja tutkitaan siinä kulttuurisessa kontekstissa, jossa niiden julkaiseminen vaikuttaa äkkiseltään sopivalta vastaukselta kulttuurin tarpeeseen saada uudenlaista, "vapaamielisyydestä" ja "edistyksellisyydestä" kertovia queer-esityksiä. Toisaalta niitä lähestytään teoksina, joilla on queer-poliittisia, heterojärjestystä vastustamaan ja sekoittamaan pyrkiviä tavoitteita. Teosten tarkastelu liitetään osaksi performatiivisuuden politiikkojen sekä queer-teoretisoinnin ja sen kotimaisen kontekstualisoinnin problematiikan tutkimusta, performatiivisen ja queer-luennan risteyskohtaan. Tätä tutkimuksen menetelmää kutsutaan queer-poliittiseksi luennaksi. Sinisalon, Saision ja Sinervon romaanit osallistuvat osaltaan siihen kulttuuriseen, yhteiskunnalliseen, sosiaaliseen ja diskursiiviseen prosessiin, jossa työstetään ja rakennetaan sukupuolten ja seksuaalisuuksien merkityksiä. Se, että ne ovat saaneet myös kirjallisuuden Finlandia-palkinnon, kiinnittää ne laajempaan kontekstiin, nykykulttuuriin ja -yhteiskuntaan, joiden keskeiseksi kysymykseksi seksuaalisuus on muotoutunut. Siinä missä 1800–1900-lukujen vaihdetta kuvasti laaja ja kauaskantoinen sukupuoliproblematiikka, jolle aikaan sidottu kulttuurinen, intellektuaalinen, oikeusjärjestelmällinen ja poliittinen muutos raivasi tilaa, tämän vuosisadanvaihteen murros liittyy seksuaalisuuteen, jonka raivaajina ovat samankaltaiset, omaan aikaansa kytkeytyneet ilmiöt: jopa käänteentekevät muutokset sukupuoli- ja seksuaaliteorioissa, lainsäädännöissä ja seksuaalisuuden kulttuurisissa esityksissä. Näyttäisi kuitenkin siltä, että julkisissa keskusteluissa queeriudesta ei vieläkään puhuta kaikissa yhteyksissä suoraan vaan vihjaillen ja mitä eriskummallisimmin mutta usein silti hyvin perinteisin, kaapin retoriikkaa hyväkseen käyttävin sanankääntein: queer on yhtäältä kovin läsnä ja pinnassa seksuaalisuuden representaatioissa, mutta samalla esimerkiksi vastaanotossa monin ehdoin kaapissa. Näyttäisi siltä, että piilevästä queeriudesta huolimatta etenkin instituutiotasolla queer-tematiikka on näkyvää vain silloin, kun se on paikan ja tilanteen mukaan sopivaa.

Historically, films from the mainstream American animation companies have had an almost non-existent representation of homosexual characters. Previously, it has been proven that the heteronormative has had a strong dominance in these companies. Considering the companies constantly produce new films, we aim to explore if this is still accurate. Within this context, this research offers an updated perspective on current representation by analyzing five animated feature films: Zootopia (2016), ParaNorman (2012), Storks (2016), Finding Dory (2016) and Frozen (2013). We have, with semiotics as a foundation, conducted a qualitative inductive content analysis of these films. By diverging from the heteronormative perspective which is deeply rooted in society we have viewed these films with a different approach. This research shows that the inclusion of homosexual couples and queer characters in animated films has increased. However, despite this increase the characters remain in small roles which are only included for a short time. This shows that the heteronormative still dominates in American mainstream animation. The clues which are given about the characters’ sexuality are subtle, resulting in them being easily overlooked. / Filmerna från de stora amerikanska animationsbolagen har tidigare haft en näst intill obefintlig representation av homosexuella karaktärer. Tidigare har det bevisats att heteronormativet har dominerat i dessa bolag. Med tanke på att bolagen ständigt producerar nya filmer vi vill se om detta fortfarande stämmer. Denna undersökning ger därför en uppdaterad bild av den rådande representationen genom att undersöka fem animerade långfilmer, Zootopia (2016), ParaNorman (2012), Storks (2016), Finding Dory (2016) och Frozen (2013). Vi har, med semiotisk metod som grund, utfört en kvalitativ induktiv innehållsanalys av dessa filmer. Genom att frångå det heteronormativa synsätt som finns djupt rotat i vårt samhälle har vi tittat på dessa filmer från en ny infallsvinkel. I vår undersökning framgår det att inkluderingen av homosexuella par och queer-karaktärer har ökat. Trots denna ökning förblir det tidsmässiga utrymmet för dessa karaktärer kort, därmed bibehåller heteronormativet sitt grepp i den amerikanska mainstream-animationen. Ledtrådarna om karaktärernas sexualitet är subtila vilket resulterar i att de enkelt kan missas.

The past few decades have seen a surge in awareness of issues related to both gender and sexual identity, which has shaped our understanding and use of these terms. However, there is a lag between awareness and practical changes, which can also be seen within education; teaching materials and practices change slowly, and the social and linguistic changes that are currently taking place are only partially visible in education. In the present study, gender and sexuality are approached from two perspectives: by analysing two EFL textbooks for upper secondary school and examining inclusive language use and representation of non-heteronormative identities, as well as by identifying attitudes and ideas expressed in interviews with three EFL teachers. The results show that LGBTQ+ representation is still scarce in these two textbooks; even though heterosexuality is not overtly reinforced in lexical choices, non-heteronormative relationships are not included. In addition, gender is still mostly portrayed as a binary, and gender issues are largely linked to male-female equality. In terms of the interviews, a general finding is that the participants are all aware of the importance of including and giving a voice to different gender and sexual identities when planning their teaching. However, deeply rooted traditions and the gender binary still play a role in how LGBTQ+ topics are perceived and addressed. Overall, it appears that teachers display more awareness and active inclusion of non-binary and non-heteronormative identities than what can be found in the textbooks.

Orientador: Leonardo Lemos de Souza / Resumo: Esta dissertação é um convite ao embarque em uma pesquisa/viagem cartográfica que narra sobre vida e resistência Trans* não-bináriE em contextos universitários.

Added to this research three narratives of interior youth who identify themselves as non-binary Trans* people and echo their voices and resistances in different Higher Education Institutions, two of them located in cities in the interior of the state of Paraná and the third inland from the state of São Paulo. The cartographic experience occurred through the displacement of this researcher to the territory of composition, where the meetings, interviews and follow-up of the proceduralities that take place in the daily life of the universities took place.
