Generous dissonance and wanderings: form and politics in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and Ali Smith's Hotel World.

This essay looks at, and compares, Hotel World by Ali Smith and Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf and attempts to understand the differences within both the formal and philosophical/political outlook of the two works. Presuming stream-of-consciousness as both a set of formal prosaic styles and a genre, the essay argues that the way the novels utilize formal style is indicative of their individual politics in counterintuitive ways. Furthermore, it argues that by looking at these two novels we can begin to map a lineage of queer stream-of-consciousness works and explore how those perspectives have changed over time.

"The Slovenian Word For These People is 'Degenerates'!": Examining Negative Attitudes Toward Non-Normative Sexual and Gender Identities in Slovenian Online Comments.

Numerous reports have documented the discrimination, physical, and verbal attacks on LGBTQIA+ people throughout the world and the situation in Slovenia, a Central European country, is similar, albeit with its own national and historic specifics. Therefore, we see it as crucial to identify the prevailing negative discourses about the LGBTQIA+ community within this country. In this paper, we identify different negative discourses about non-normative sexual and gender identities in Slovenia by analyzing hateful online comments posted under different LGBTQIA-related articles on the most frequented Slovenian news websites. We identified seven different themes within anti-LGBTQIA+ discourses with the current article focusing on themes of the Hegemonic binary and Non-normative identities. The anti-LGBTQIA+ discourses identified in this article often denigrate the non-normative LGBTQIA+ identity and discursively construct it as inferior to the prevailing cis-heterosexual identity. We argue that identified discourses are linked with the resurgence of the anti-gender movement and the retraditionalization of society and also constitute a form of violence, which is especially true for violence directed at subjects constituted as dispensable, whose life is seen as not worth valuing and not worth living, which are often members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Queer decisions: Racial matching among gay male intended parents.

How does race and location shape the reproductive decisions of gay men who are intended parents? In this article, we propose the concept of strategic racialization to characterize the ways in which gay male parents employ racial matching in their selection of egg donors and surrogates in the United States and United Kingdom. We argue that racial matching is a strategy of stigma management. This study draws upon interview data from 40 gay male couples who formed families through surrogacy. We find that pre-conception fathers seek racialized resemblance to reinforce kinship between themselves and their children. In California and England, gay men seeking donor eggs engage in racial matching, which reveals that the racialized biogenetic model of kinship remains dominant. This study makes a significant contribution to the literature on race and queer family formation.

Becoming-Perverse: Queering Sworn Brotherhood in the Non/Human Realm of Songzhuxuan's Hailiwa and Daokousu.

This article examines the pornographic representation of Hailiwa and Daokousu, from Songzhuxuan's novel Yaohu Yanshi, where a sworn brotherhood incorporates an egalitarian homosexual relationship, something highly unusual in the Qing context in which sexual acts, including same-sex ones, were intelligible only via unequal hierarchies. In so doing we explore the queer potentialities of sworn brotherhood, signifying fraternity, friendship and a sexual relationship simultaneously. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari, queer theory, and Giffney and Hird's concept of the non/human, we argue this tale and its wider genre enriches the scope of what we might term "queer literatures" in offering us historically and culturally situated stories of desire that refuse to confine themselves to the binaries that supported conventional premodern Chinese understandings of gender and sexuality-including the Confucian model of the heterosexual family unit, but also the highly hierarchical notions of sexual status underpinning Qing conceptualizations of sexual acts.

A "Phoenix" rising from the ashes: China's Tongqi, marriage fraud, and resistance.

There are significant numbers of women in China who have inadvertently married closeted gay men. Women in China who unwittingly marry closeted gay men are known as Tongqi (), and these women often discover their husband's secret only after giving birth to fulfill filial obligations. These women taken into this "marriage fraud" are initially unaware of their husbands' sexual orientation. Because China's divorce law favors men, even if the wife files for divorce, the husband often wins custody of children. The tendency to blame the woman who have unwittingly married gay men extends even to the woman's own immediate families. These women suffer heightened risk of not only physical death from AIDS and other diseases, but also psychological death through the loss of physical mobility, alienation of kin, and death of their heterosexual marriage identity. This article extends necropolitics to the social death situations of 12 educated and 47 low-educated Tongqi and reveals how they resist and overcome their circumstances. Tongqi are the women who have unwittingly married gay men of violations involving their own marriage, but they are not simply waiting for death. Taking an ethnographical approach, this work uses the social death concept of necropolitics to provide understanding of how marriage and gender laws perpetuate these dysfunctional unions.

On Becoming an LGBTQ+-Identifying Teacher: A Year-Long Study of Two Gay and Lesbian Preservice Elementary Teachers.

LGBTQ+-identifying preservice teachers must navigate several different contexts, including the university and public schools, wherein they must make decisions about being open ("out") regarding their LGBTQ+ identities. However, the small amount of research to date has typically focused on the experiences of LGBTQ+ educators already actively working in public schools. In this year-long, qualitative case study, we present the experiences, perspectives, and challenges of two elementary preservice teachers who identify as gay and lesbian through their year-long student teaching placement. The study offers implications for teacher education programs about often overlooked ways to recruit, support, and advocate for LGBTQ+ preservice teachers.

Current Challenges of North/South Relations in Gay-Lesbian and Queer Studies.

The article assesses and analyzes different dimensions of the current configuration of North/South dialogues within gay-lesbian and queer studies, with particular attention to the interrelations between the United States and South America. It looks into how gay-lesbian and queer studies relate to the global division and hierarchy of intellectual labor traditionally embedded in academic practices, and it asks whether the scope of its radical program includes a revision of unequal academic dynamics. Its concerns are both ethical and epistemological, as they speak not only to the moral and political dimensions of academic practice, but also to how these modes affect the knowledge produced in the United States and in South America today. By offering a view from the South conversant with South American as well as Northern production, we hope to contribute to both local and international debates regarding the present and future of the field.

Getting Disciplined: What's Trans* About Queer Studies Now?

This essay maps the epistemological terrain trans* studies may face as it is widely incorporated into queer studies programs, often housed within women's studies departments. Over the past two decades, queer studies and women's studies have rapidly professionalized, producing new modes of disciplinary power that may seek to either include or cite trans* studies, often without fully welcoming its specific material and political investments. Under such conditions, trans* studies may find itself heard largely as a but-an epistemic blockage, a distraction from proper objects, a hindrance to customary methods-that must be disciplined.

Poor Queer Studies: Class, Race, and the Field.

This study asks, What are the material conditions under which queer studies is done in the academy? It finds a longstanding association of queer studies with the well-resourced, selective colleges and flagship campuses that are the drivers of class and race stratification in higher education in the U.S. That is, the field of queer studies, as a recognizable academic formation, has been structured by the material and intellectual resources of precisely those institutions that most steadfastly refuse to adequately serve poor and minority students, including poor and minority queer students. In response, "poor queer studies" calls for a critical reorientation of queer studies toward working-poor schools, students, theories, and pedagogies. Taking the College of Staten Island, CUNY as a case study, it argues for structural crossing over or "queer-class ferrying" between high-status institutions that have so brilliantly dominated queer studies' history and low-status worksites of poor queer studies.

25 Years On: The State and Continuing Development of LGBTQ Studies Programs.

This article serves as the introduction to "25 Years On: The State and Continuing Development of LGBTQ Studies Programs." It begins by placing the current issue in a commemorative context: marking the anniversary of a 1993 special issue of the Journal of Homosexuality dedicated to the emergence of "Gay and Lesbian Studies" and edited by Howard L. Minton. The introduction continues by providing an overview of early phases of academic transformations, primarily in the United States, with notes on particular legacies. This is followed by a brief survey of scholarship published since 1993 that pays particular attention to curricular and pedagogical concerns. It concludes by identifying themes articulated by the essays selected for this issue as well as commentary on their individual, yet richly interrelated, contributions.

Not in our community: Queer women challenge religious homophobia in rural Kentucky.

"Not in my backyard" (NIMBY) movements emerge when a social or political event spurs opposition from local residents. Much research on NIMBY movements concentrates on local residents' efforts to defend their community from unwanted "outsiders" or elements, such as a waste incinerator or sex offenders. Little is written on how NIMBY activism can redefine a place to be more inclusive of sexual minorities and supportive of progressive social initiatives. After the Supreme Court's 2015 ruling in favor of marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges, Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples citing her religious beliefs. Davis' actions galvanized marriage-equality and religious-freedom activists in the region. Pro-marriage-equality activists included lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and queer women who viewed Davis' action as an attack on their legitimacy in the community. Drawing on 11 interviews with queer women in Kentucky, we explore how their activist work in Rowan County challenged small-town intolerance and religious homophobia and helped to re-form the region as more a progressive space for sexual minorities.

Sobre AFROntar a Casa-Grande e botar a cara no sol: uma etnografia transviada de formas de gestão de sofrimento / On AFFROntting the Casa-Grande and "putting your face on the sun": an ethnography transviada (queer) of forms of suffering gestão

Esta dissertação visa contribuir com uma discussão genderizada e transviada no campo da saúde mental e sustentar uma discussão da saúde mental e processos de subjetivação no campo dos estudos transviad@s, tendo a dimensão racial como uma discussão transversal. A partir da noção de "sistema de gênero moderno colonial" e de uma perspectiva analítica interseccional, a questão que orientou a pesquisa foi: como tem se dado a gestão do sofrimento de mulheres trans que vivem ou já viveram na rua e quais estratégias para o cuidado de si essas pessoas estão lançando mão? O objetivo do trabalho é analisar as formas de gestão desse sofrimento em seu duplo sentido, isto é, o de gestar e o de gerir. Para isso, se baseia em uma etnografia multisituada em espaços que foram aqui nomeados como uma "rede de cuidado trans em (des) construção" e nas histórias de vida de quatro mulheres trans que atuam ou transitaram nos projetos. Na primeira parte da dissertação, que aborda a gestão do sofrimento no sentido de gestar, discute-se sobre a história da gestação do sofrimento a partir da produção de dor e do tornar-se sujeite de direitos, bem como sobre o que se chama de itinerários de vulnerabilização. Isso significou pensar sobre a história de gestação do sofrimento pela Casa-grande, mas também considerar fissuras e brechas que as mulheres trans precisaram construir por meio de ruas encruzilhadas e agenciamentos. Já a segunda parte, trata da gestão do sofrimento no sentido do gerir, seja por elas próprias; por meio de uma tentativa de construção do cuidado de si (nomeada como itinerário de encruzilhamento), seja por meio da rede formal e informal que está sendo costurada para dar conta de tal questão: Ong Casinha e o Serviço Noturno de um CAPSAd, localizado numa região periférica da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Em termos analíticos, busca-se o afastamento de uma perspectiva salvacionista que contribua para a reificação do dispositivo transexualizador enquanto tutela, patologização e vitimização das pessoas trans. Para tal, propõe uma nova epistemologia do sofrimento, sugerindo a noção de sofrimento encruzilhado como a interseção entre o itinerário de vulnerabilização e o itinerário de encruzilhamento.

This thesis aims to contribute to a gender and transviada (queer) oriented discussion in the field of mental health, and to sustain a discussion of mental health and subjectivation processes in the field of transviados (queer) studies, having the racial dimension as a transversal discussion. From a notion of "modern colonial gender systems" and from an intersectional analytical perspective, the question that guided this work was: how has the suffering of trans women who live or have lived on the streets been managed, and what strategies this population has been using for self-care? The objective of this thesis is to analyze the forms of gestão of this suffering, in a double sense, that is, that of gestating and that of managing. For that, it is based on a multi-situated ethnography in spaces that have been named here as a "trans care network in (de) construction" and in the life stories of four trans women who work or transit in these projects. The first part of this thesis deals with the management of suffering in the sense of gestating, it discusses the history of the suffering gestation from the production of pain and to becoming a subject of rights, as well as about what is called vulnerability itineraries. This meant thinking about the history of gestation of suffering caused by the Casa-Grande, but also considering the cracks and breaches that trans women needed to build through crossroads and agencying. The second part, on the other hand, addresses the management of suffering in the sense of managing, either by themselves; through an attempt to build self-care (referred to as crossroads itinerary), either through the formal and informal network that is being sewn to account for this issue: NGO Casinha and night shift service in a CAPSAd, located in a peripheral region of the Rio de Janeiro City. In analytical terms, this work seeks to move away from a salvationist perspective that contributes to the rectification of the transsexualizing device as protection, pathologization, and victimization of trans people. To this end, it proposes a new epistemology of suffering, suggesting the notion of crossroads suffering as the intersection between the vulnerability itinerary and the crossroads itinerary.

Tango y samba: deconstruyendo estereotipos / Tango e samba: desconstruindo estereótipos / Tango and samba: deconstructing stereotypes / Tango et samba: déconstruire les stéréotypes

Las danzas de tango y samba gafieira pueden ser expresiones de ocio en las que predomina cierta heteronormatividad hegemónica. Asimismo en los últimos años se ha venido desarrollando en diferentes países un movimiento de personas que cuestionan, resisten y proponen alternativas a la heteronormatividad en la danza de salón. Este trabajo identifica las resistencias, alternativas y propuestas innovadoras que manifiestan las personas a la heteronormatividad hegemónica en las danzas de tango y samba gafieira, mediante el uso de una metodología cualitativa, estudio de casos múltiple, en la que se entrevistaron 30 personas y se realizaron 30 observaciones en escuelas de baile y espacios abiertos de tres ciudades latinoamericanas (Buenos Aires, Montevideo y São Paulo). Los resultados revelan una clara percepción de profesores y bailarines sobre los estereotipos que a través de estas danzas refuerzan la heteronormatividad hegemónica. Así como, los movimientos de resistencia en las acciones y estrategias que utilizan las personas en las tres ciudades mencionadas para poder disfrutar de la danza sin restricciones.

"Just like a natural man": The B.D. styles of Gertrude "Ma" Rainey and Bessie Smith.

This article pays homage to the antique term "B.D. (bulldyke) Woman" of the 1920s and 1930s, at a moment when the rise of a universal queer subject threatens to erase specific lesbian histories. Characterized by an aggressive stance and an enormousness that confronts rather than merely protests, Black B.D. artists "stole" both masculinity and White privilege to accumulate power and cultural capital. B.D. is therefore a multilayered response to sexism, racism, and homophobia. This performance style is a product of outrage at the oppressive conditions that marked the legacy of slavery, to which B.D. blues must be viewed as a response rather than a more static sexual aesthetic style belonging to lesbian women. Such masculine bravado in Black women disrupted gender/sex alignments and notions of cisnormativity embedded in African American communities. In order to think through this historical legacy, I perform close readings of song lyrics performed by Gertrude "Ma" Rainey and Bessie Smith. The rejection of oppressive conditions occurs most acutely through the theme of travelling in songs that decenter racialized and heteronormative conceptions of home. Through this theme, Rainey and Smith expanded the phallic possibilities of their time period, and for the 2010s, these artists tamper with our staid notions of what gender, sex, and sexuality have meant in the past.

O parentesco transviado, exemplo guna (Panamá) / Perverted kinship, the guna example (Panama) / Parentesco translocado, ejemplo guna (Panamá)

Resumo: Com base em uma etnografia realizada entre os Guna (Kuna), população ameríndia que habita a costa atlântica do Panamá, este artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre parentesco e relacionalidade a partir de sua práxis terminológica. A análise recai sobre os usos do idioma do parentesco por pessoas que afirmam uma subjetividade em desacordo com o gênero atribuído no momento do nascimento (omeggid, categoria local traduzida por "parece mulher"). Considerando as apelações na geração de Ego (G0), especialmente aquelas que remetem à consanguinidade (irmão/sussu; irmã/iolo), o artigo demonstra que a terminologia de parentesco permite conjugar estrutura e estratégia. Chamando alguém por sussu ou iolo, as omeggids produzem para si um lugar de gênero feminino; ao mesmo tempo, em detrimento da troca matrimonial ou aliança, afirmam um "modo de vida" estruturado por relações de amizade.

Abstract: Based on ethnography carried out among the Guna (Kuna), an Amerindian population dwelling in the Atlantic coast of Panama, this article aims to reflect on kinship and relatedness from its terminological praxis. Analysis focuses on the uses of kinship vocabulary by those people who affirm a subjectivity in disagreement with the gender assigned to them at birth (omeggid, local category meaning "woman-like"). Considering the appellations in Ego's generation (G0), especially those referring to consanguinity (brother/sussu; sister/iolo), the article demonstrates that kinship terminology enables to combine structure and strategy. Calling someone by sussu or iolo, the omeggids produce for themselves a feminine gendered position; at the same time, at the expense of matrimonial exchange or alliance, they affirm a "way of life" which is structured by relations of friendship.

Norma, integracion y desafio. Representaciones masculinas de varones con discapacidad física / Norma, integração e desafio. Representações masculinas de homens com deficiência física / Norm, integration, and challenge. Representations of men with physical disabilities

Resumen: El objetivo del presente artículo es preguntarnos sobre las representaciones masculinas presentes en los discursos que versan sobre varones con discapacidad física. Desde una metodología que abreva teóricamente en los estudios sobre discapacidad y de genero, se intenta abordar las representaciones como estrategias discursivas, con tres fines evidentes: instaurar una norma de masculinidad hegemónica, asociada a la normalidad funcional compulsiva vehiculizada mediante una retórica visual maravillosa; la adaptación de esa masculinidad con fines comerciales mediante una retórica realista; y el desafío a las normas antes citadas mediante la teoría queer.

Resumo: O presente artigo explora as representações masculinas presentes nos discursos que tratam de homens com deficiência física. A partir de uma metodologia que se baseia teoricamente nos estudos sobre deficiência e gênero, aborda representações como estratégias discursivas, com três objetivos: estabelecer uma norma de masculinidade hegemônica, associada à normalidade funcional compulsória transmitida por uma retórica visual maravilhosa; a adaptação dessa masculinidade para fins comerciais através de uma retórica realista; e o desafio às normas acima mencionadas apresentado pela teoria queer.

Abstract: The present work analyzes male representation in the discourse of men with physical disability. Using a methodology that draws theoretically on disability and gender studies, representations were approached as discursive strategies with three evident purposes: to establish a norm of hegemonic masculinity, associated with compulsory functional normality conveyed by a rhetoric of visual wonderfulness, the adaptation of that masculinity for commercial purposes through a realistic rhetoric; and the challenge to these processes presented by queer theory.

Transexualidade e Norma Sexual: A Psicanálise e os Estudos Queer / Transsexuality and Sexual Norm: Psychoanalysis and Queer Studies / Transexualidad y Norma Sexual: El Psicoanálisis y los Estudios Queer / Transsexualité et Norme Sexuelle: La Psychanalyse et les Études Queer

O presente artigo se propõe a discutir as relações entre a transexualidade e a norma sexual a partir da interlocução teórica entre a psicanálise e os estudos queer. A transexualidade midiatizada e atravessada pelo discurso médico/institucional hoje atualiza o ideal do perfeito alinhamento entre corpo e identificação, em que as posições masculinas e femininas estariam estabilizadas. Diante disso, propomos uma releitura do Édipo em Freud e Lacan, destacando os pontos de fissura, de falha na normatização das posições sexuadas. Tal perspectiva nos permitiu aproximar a psicanálise e os estudos queer sob o eixo epistemológico comum do conceito de 'pura diferença', em que se verifica uma relação contingente com a lógica fálica, impossível de ser universalizada. Nas conclusões, indicamos algumas consequências políticas do diálogo entre a psicanálise e os estudos queer, as quais questionam as definições rígidas sobre a diferença sexual e contribuem para a crescente d espatologização dos sujeitos trans.

This article proposes to discuss the relations between transsexuality and the sexual norm from the theoretical interlocution between psychoanalysis and queer studies. The mediated and crossed transsexuality of the medical / institutional discourse today updates the ideal of the perfect alignment between body and identification, in which the masculine and feminine positions would be stabilized. In view of this, we propose a re-reading of the Oedipus in Freud and Lacan, highlighting the points of fissure, failure to normalize sexual positions. Such perspective has allowed us to approach psychoanalysis and queer studies under the common epistemological axis of the concept of 'pure difference', in which there is a contingent relation with the phallic logic, impossible to be universalized. In the conclusion, we point out some political consequences of the dialogue between psychoanalysis and queer studies, which question the rigid definitions of sexual difference and contribute to the increasing spatologization of trans subjects.

Cet article vise à discuter des relations entre la transsexualité et la norme sexuelle à partir de l'interlocution théorique entre la psychanalyse et les études queer. La transsexualité, médiée et traversée aujourd'hui par le discours médical/ institutionnel, actualise l'idéal d'alignement parfait entre le corps et l'identification, dans lequel les positions masculines et féminines sont stabilisées. Devant cette notion, on propose une lecture de OEdipe chez Freud et Lacan, en mettant en évidence les points de rupture et d'échec dans la normalisation des positions sexuelles. Cette perspective permet d'aborder la psychanalyse et des études queer sous l'axe épistémologique commun de «pure différence¼, dans lequel on vérifie une rélation avec la logique phallique, impossible d'être universellle. Dans les conclusions, on souligne certaines conséquences politiques du dialogue entre la psychanalyse et les études queer, qui questionnent les définitions rigides sur la différence sexuelle et contribuent à la croissante dépathologisation trans.
