Construindo a diferença: a intimidade conjugal em casais de homens homossexuais / Making difference: conjugal intimacy in homosexual male couplesMurilo dos Santos Moscheta 21 December 2004 (has links)
O emergir deste novo século traz consigo mudanças significativas nas estruturas sociais, políticas e econômicas. Especificamente na esfera social, assistimos a reconfiguração dos modelos familiares, antes presos a estrutura patriarcal e nuclear, e hoje abertos a inúmeras possibilidades, dentre as quais os casais homossexuais. As discussões acerca dessas relações têm ganhado fôlego e visibilidade e seus debates transitam entre o campo político, jurídico, religioso, moral e científico. Observa-se uma relativa tendência dentro da academia e da prática psicológica de buscar uma postura não estigmatizante e preconceituosa. Em contrapartida, a literatura científica que trata do tema é escassa e os estudos nacionais são ainda mais raros. Neste sentido, este estudo qualitativo teve como objetivo conhecer de maneira aprofundada a experiência conjugal de casais homossexuais à luz das transformações da intimidade na contemporaneidade. Acredita-se que tal conhecimento pode oferecer subsídios para o planejamento e execução de intervenções psicológicas que considerem as necessidades e características específicas dessa população. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas abertas com seis casais homossexuais masculinos de Ribeirão Preto, constituídos de parceiros adultos com pelo menos três anos de coabitação. As entrevistas foram áudio-gravadas, transcritas na íntegra e submetidas à análise de conteúdo temática. Como complementação, foi mantido um diário de campo para registro de impressões e acontecimentos durante a fase de coleta de dados. A partir da análise do material pôde-se identificar que o processo de construção da relação desses casais é marcado pela busca de modelos de relacionamento em que ora leva a comparação ao modelo heterossexual dominante, ora culmina com o desenvolvimento criativo de um estilo particular de conjugalidade. Os casais relatam esforço de negociação das diferenças que emergem ao longo da história da relação e que demandam mudanças contínuas. Tais mudanças imprimem um caráter transformador à experiência conjugal. Os ritos que os casais desenvolvem atuam como forma de circunscrever os limites da relação, marcar o tempo e as fases compartilhadas e de oferecer segurança na medida em que produzem uma tradição confortante. Além disso, a relação homossexual é produzida em contínuo diálogo com as instâncias sociais que muitas vezes, por preconceito e discriminação, limitam e isolam a experiência conjugal, constituindo uma fonte de angústia. Nesse sentido, a ciência psicológica pode contribuir favorecendo a criação de espaços e contextos dialógicos onde esses casais possam encontrar apoio e auxílio na construção de seus relacionamentos. / The new century has brought meaningful changes in social, political and economical structures. In the social arena, we can notice a reconfiguration of familiar models, once bound to a nuclear and patriarchal standard, and nowadays open to several possible configurations, from among homosexual couples. The debate around such relations is getting louder and visible and its outcomes move in the political, legal, religious, moral and scientific fields. It can be noticed a relative bias either in the academic discussion or in psychological practice to search for a non-stigmatizing approach. On the other hand, scientific literature concerning this subject is scarce and national studies are even rarer. Thus, this qualitative study aimed at understanding the conjugal experience of male homosexual couples as part of the contemporary transformations on intimacy. We believe that such understanding can subsidize the planning and execution of psychological interventions designed to meet the specific characteristics and needs of this population. Six male adult homosexual couples from Ribeirão Preto with at least three years of cohabitation were interviewed. The interviews were audio-recorded, fully transcribed and submitted to a content analysis. A field diary was kept as a complementary form of data collection, in which impressions and especial events were registered. The interviews analysis shows that the process though which the couples construct their relations is marked by the search for relationship standards that either leads to a comparison to the dominant heterosexual model, or ends up in the creative development of a particular conjugal pattern. The couples report effort to negotiate the differences that emerges during the history of the relationship and that demands continuous changes. Such changes determine a transformative character to the conjugal experience. Rites developed inside the relationship works as forms of circumscribing the relations boundaries, marking time and stages and offering security once they produce a comfortable tradition. Furthermore, homosexual relationships are produced in a continuous dialogue with social instances that, often by prejudice and discrimination, constrain and isolate the conjugal experience, constituting a source of distress. In this sense, Psychology can contribute favoring the creation of dialogical contexts where these couples may find support in the construction of their relationships.

Féminisme matérialiste et queer : politique(s) d'un constructivisme radical / Materialist and queer feminism : politics of a radical constructivismNoyé, Sophie 23 June 2016 (has links)
Notre propos interroge la pluralisation des formes d’émancipation féministe en France depuis le milieu des années 1990 au regard de la confrontation entre féminisme matérialiste et féminisme queer. Nous sommes partis de l’hypothèse que l’articulation entre ces deux positions théorico-politiques est possible car elle se réalise dans les pratiques militantes queer-féministes actuelles. Nous affirmons que cette conjugaison est pertinente et mérite d’être davantage théorisée car elle porte selon nous une radicalité inclusive. L’alliance de ces deux approches interroge la définition du sujet féministe et, en particulier, l’élaboration non-essentialiste de l’unité politique. Nous analysons dans quelle mesure la démarche (contre-)hégémonique ainsi que le projet de démocratie radicale plurielle et agonistique donnent des outils pour répondre à cette question. Notre thèse est la suivante : le constructivisme radical qui résulte de l’union entre féminisme matérialiste et féminisme queer devrait développer une stratégie hégémonique de construction du sujet politique, car celle-ci prend en compte la pluralité et la contingence du social mais vise également l’unité et la stabilité du « nous » politique afin de renverser les diverses dominations matérielles. Ce constructivisme conçoit le politique comme institution du social et développe une compréhension de la politique comme organisation du conflit en situation d’indécidabilité. / This research addresses the pluralization of feminist emancipation’s forms in France since the mid-1990s in light of the conflict between materialist and queer feminisms. We have taken as our starting point the hypothesis that the linkage between these two political theoretic discourses is possible since it actually takes place in the « queer-feminist » movement’s militant practices. We argue that this combination is meaningful and deserves to be better theorized since it carries with it a message of radicalism and inclusiveness. The alliance of the two approaches questions the definition of the feminist subject, and especially the formulation of a political unity which is not essentialist. We analyze the extent to which both the (counter-)hegemonic approach and the project of a radical, agonistic and plural democracy provide us with tools to answer this issue. Our argument runs as follow : the discourse of radical constructivism that results from the union between materialistic and queer feminisms should develop a hegemonic strategy regarding the conception of the political subject for two reasons. First, this strategy takes into account the plurality of the contingency of the social realm. Second, it aims at unifying and stabilizing the political « Us » in order to reverse the various material domination’s manifestations. Such a constructivist theory thinks of the political realm as an institution of the social realm and develops an understanding of politics as the organization of conflict in a situation of undecidability.

Captain: a chamber operaPayne-Passmore, Susanna 06 September 2018 (has links)
This opera, for soprano, contralto, baritone, treble voice, and chamber orchestra, sets an original story, a meditation on gender and the effects of restrictive gender norms in a society. The narrative follows a young sailor who wishes nothing more than to work on the sea forever, but is derailed from that destiny by her forced betrothal to a captain. She escapes this fate through the discovery of a latent power, sailing away from her home into an uncertain future of her own making.
The work is approximately one hour in duration.

Cutting the Gordian Knot: Race, Gender and Sexuality in Moby-Dick and Absalom, Absalom!Smith, Alana 01 January 2018 (has links)
This thesis attempts to answer the following questions: What is the relationship between the American social system and its depiction in American fiction, principally in Moby-Dick and Absalom, Absalom!? and How can one disentangle the workings of race, gender, and sexuality in the American social system, when such a knot depends upon queer desire for its strength and energy to an exaggerated degree? Ultimately, I argue that one way to pull these threads apart is to implement a queer deconstructive approach informed by narrative theories of desire, but to begin to answer this question, I contend that the Romantic version of Satan is inherently queer and that as Byronic heroes, Ahab and Sutpen’s queerness deconstructs the binaries that would ensure the “success” of their designs by magnifying and critiquing the ways in which race, gender, sexuality, and socioeconomic class are predicated on socially constructed and interlocking binaries to assure the supremacy of (those who at least appear to be) powerful white, wealthy, heterosexual, cisgender men like Ahab and Sutpen. In my analysis of the queer impulses of Ahab and Sutpen, I draw on Jaime Harker’s model of the Southern social system as predicated on an “unholy trinity” formed by the “whore,” “nigger,” and “queer” to advance a new approach to interpreting triangular relationships of power and desire in the in the American novel (Harker 112). In my analysis of Sutpen, I layer romantic triangles inspired by the work of René Girard in Deceit, Desire and the Novel (1961) over the triangle of the “whore,” “nigger,” and “queer” to explore the ways in which mediated desire between “whores,” “niggers,” and “queers” disrupts cultural hegemony. Queer erotic dynamics involving Ahab are more often bivalent than triangular, but both Moby-Dick and Absalom, Absalom! feature queer erotic desire across racial boundaries, that reveal deep racial fantasies. I maintain that both novels are palimpsests of queer desire and that as Byronic heroes Ahab and Sutpen, though not the characters most frequently discussed in queer readings of Moby-Dick and Absalom, Absalom!, produce, benefit from and blend back into the queer milieu of each text. I end by arguing that Sutpen’s Hundred metonymically stands in for the American South and that the Pequod represents The American Project in its entirety. It is my view that these novels model a hermeneutic (part: whole) relationship that makes them especially apt choices for probing this uniquely American matrix of social power and for highlighting the transformative potential of partially unearthed counter-narratives.

Queer Being and the Sexual Interstice: A Phenomenological Approach to the Queer Transformative SelfJ.Horncastle@murdoch.edu.au, Julia Horncastle January 2008 (has links)
This thesis explores a notion of queer being in relation to a difficult yet creative articulation of queer self-consciousness. The difficulty of attempting to particularise self-consciousness is challenged and dismantled by proposing ways in which putatively exclusive esoteric knowledges of being can be exposed and expanded. This is achieved by justifying singular (queer) experience as it coincides with the disparities between subjectivity and objectivity, experience and existence. I argue that two key perspectives (those of interstitiality and self-transformativity) provide a basis whereby we can force a radical articulation of queer being-ness into general and contemporary philosophical discourses of being. In doing so, a particularised theory of intersubjective being emerges as a way to identify the complicity of ethics and ontology.
Queerness in this thesis is especially articulated as an eccentricity or poetics of being, experienced at the juncture of diverse knowledge spaces. These include not only the threshold and radical spaces of sexuality and gender, but also the perceived limits of theories of being which allow us to formulate understandings of self-consciousness. This is evidenced through a critical analysis of feminist, queer, transgender, phenomenological and existential texts and/or practices, paying special regard to everyday, real-life experience. By using a combination of the logic of the interstice, genealogical methods, hermeneutical analysis and a deconstructionist theoretical approach, the thesis seeks out, and insists upon, ways to articulate and determine the possibility of a queer sensibility as both a practice of self-transformativity and a more broadly applicable knowledge heuristic.
The thesis demonstrates that by increasing an awareness of a particular kind of self-transformative queer being-ness one that embraces a critical ethics of being the rich insights of queer experiences and knowledges can act as a valuable resource for reviewing the horizons of the ontology of the subject. It also suggests that particularising the term queer in relation to a complex theory of sensibility provides new depths for understanding, and practical ways to make use of, a queer theory of being.

"If you don't think about it, it doesn´t exist" : Queer Sexuality and Gender Ambiguity in Ernest Hemingway's Islands in the StreamRemnesjö, Per-Olof January 2013 (has links)
This essay will discuss Ernest Hemingway's Islands in the Stream, posthumously published 1970, focusing in particular on the importance of the protagonist's fluid gender identity and interest in queer sexuality. Central to my discussion is queer theorist Judith Butler's view of gender as something performed and contextual and her objection to the binary of man and woman. I will argue that the issues of gender identity and queer forms of sexuality are ever-present throughout the novel, and that in the protagonist Thomas Hudson, Hemingway presents a different hero in comparison to the hardboiled macho-man he has been claimed to glorify in his work. My thesis is that the protagonist's denial of his ambiguous gender identity and his interest in queer sexualitey are the underlying causes for the development of the plot. The novel will be discussed in relation to the thesis in chronological order: first, it examines the protagonist's detachment and separation from his sons; second, his difficulties to sustain any longer relationships with women, and third, why he never dares to trust the people who say they love him.

Queer Feelings, Political Potential: Tracing Affect in Performance SpacesBlackston, Dylan McCarthy 11 May 2012 (has links)
This thesis layers theories of affect circulation, queer performance participation, counterpublics, and queer space and time with ethnographic work performed in queer performance spaces. In so doing, the thesis explores affective networks in queer performance spaces in order to begin a theoretical analysis of the connecting affects amongst queer performance participants. In my interviews, I found affective connections which I explored as keywords. These keywords express affects that, in part, create the affective networks of queer performance participants.
