Abstract

Tracing the extensive LGBTQ+ venue closures in the 2010s, this book explores the queer politics of LGBTQ+ inclusion in London. Drawing on rich ethnographic work with activists, professionals and businesses, it reveals how gender and sexuality come to be reconfigured in the production and consumption of LGBTQ+ inclusion and its promises.

Abstract

Tri godine je prošlo od objavljivanja prvog izdanja Čitanke lezbejskih i gej ljudskih prava i dvije od drugog izdanja Čitanke LGBT ljudskih prava 2, koja je u odnosu na prvo izdanje bila dopunjena novim temama koje su pisali autori i autorice iz Bosne i Hercegovine. Pred vama se nalazi treće izdanje LGBT čitanke, čija je ideja da sažme i predstavi lokalno znanje koje se posljednjih godina proizvodilo za aktiviste i aktivistkinje, LGBT osobe i njihove prijateljice, prijatelje i rodbinu, za osobe koje rade u raznim institucijama, te za sve one ljude koje zanimaju ove teme. Struktura LGBT čitanke 3 pojednostavljena je i sadrži tri poglavlja. Prvo poglavlje obrađuje široke teme identiteta, seksualnosti i coming outa, a autorica poglavlja Jasmina Hasanagić objedinila je i predstavila najvažnija znanja o ovim temama, referirajući na savremenu domaću i stranu literaturu, te dajući preporuke za dalje čitanje o pitanjima kojima se bavila. Po istom principu su urađena i ostala dva dijela. Drugi dio donosi pregled historije LGBT aktivizma koji je, prema istom metodološkom principu sažimanja i objedinjavanja postojećeg znanja, uradila Slobodanka Dekić, dok je Vladana Vasić u trećem dijelu dala pregled pravne regulacije homoseksualnosti kroz zapadnu historiju, preko osvrta na situaciju u Socijalističkoj Federativnoj Republici Jugoslaviji, sve do danas aktuelnih pravnih pitanja kada je riječ o LGBT osobama, njihovim pravnim problemima i potrebama.

Abstract

Colette, André Gide, Natalie Clifford Barney ou encore Georges Eekhoud : autant d’intellectuel.les queer qui n’ont pas hésité à parler de leurs amours et à les défendre dans leurs écrits à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle. Leur engagement ne se forme pas dans un vide, mais fait partie de toute une société dite « marginale » à l’époque, dont les membres se retrouvent par le biais de leur militantisme en faveur du droit à aimer librement. Ce numéro de Sextant analyse la manière dont les intellectuel·les queer collaborent et s’entraident dans le contexte européen de la Belle Époque dans leurs entreprises de création et de diffusion de leurs publications. Les études rassemblées ici explorent les multiples formes qu’ont prises leurs collaborations ainsi que les représentations différentes des amours queer dans la littérature et la vie intellectuelle auxquelles leurs oeuvres et leurs échanges ont donné lieu. Ce faisant, ce numéro met au jour des parcours et des engagements d’intellectuel·les queer méconnus et interroge également la construction de formes inédites d’expression d’une identité sexuelle partagée.

Abstract

Between HIV Prevention and LGBTI Rights investigates the transformative impacts of global development's sexual rights agenda on queer politics and activism in Ghana. With queer men bearing a disproportionate burden of HIV in Africa, rights-based health interventions have sought to tackle the epidemic by bringing together, educating, and 'empowering' queer African communities. Gore argues that queer Ghanaian men are not benefiting from development's turn to sexual health and sexual rights. Instead, HIV and other sexual rights-based initiatives operate through neoliberal paradigms that reinforce class divides and de-politicize queer struggle. These dynamics are further shaping and shaped by the politicization of homophobia within the contemporary Ghanaian state. Gore combines original ethnography, documentary analysis, and the examination of development and global health data to connect the struggle for queer liberation in Ghana to broader trajectories of capitalist transformation and crisis and the afterlives of colonialism. In doing so, Between HIV Prevention and LGBTI Rights offers fascinating insights into the political economy of sexuality and global development for scholars, activists, and policymakers seeking to understand and address sexual injustice and oppression, both in Africa and beyond.

Abstract

Wie konstituiert sich das aktuelle queer-politische Subjekt und welche Rolle spielen Identitätspolitiken dabei? Tanja Vogler geht dieser Frage nach, indem sie Bewegungsmaterialien queerer Einrichtungen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum analysiert und Aktivist*innen in Interviews zu Wort kommen lässt. Dabei werden Theorie, Bewegungsgeschichte und Empirie miteinander verknüpft und am Beispiel des zeitgenössischen queeren Aktivismus das Verhältnis von Politik und Identität differenziert dargestellt.

Abstract

"Au-delà de la contestation des régimes politiques, les révolutions du Maghreb et du Moyen-Orient se sont traduites depuis 2010 pour un foisonnement de luttes : ouvrières et syndicales, féministes, antiracistes, pour les droits des minorités sexuelles et de genre... Elles ont favorisé la remise en question de multiples hiérarchies sociales. Rompant avec l'image dominante d'un acteur protestataire homme affrontant les autorités sur les places publiques, cet ouvrage démontre que le genre est une catégorie nécessaire pour expliquer le déclenchement, les dynamiques et les issues de ces conjonctures. Les cas des révolutions tunisienne, égyptienne, yéménite, syrienne, bahreïnie et soudanaise, ainsi que du hirak algérien et du soulèvement libanais, révèlent les recompositions des rapports entre les hommes et les femmes, ainsi que des masculinités et des féminités dans différents milieux sociaux. En dépit de la violence des restaurations autoritaires et des guerres, l'analyse au prisme du genre permet ainsi d'envisager les révolutions comme des processus aux effets durables."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

In the last three decades of the twentieth century, LGBT Latinas/os faced several forms of discrimination. The greater Latino community did not often accept sexual minorities, and the mainstream LGBT movement expected everyone, regardless of their ethnic and racial background, to adhere to a specific set of priorities so as to accommodate a “unified” agenda. To disrupt the cycle of sexism, racism, and homophobia that they experienced, LGBT Latinas/os organized themselves on local, state, and national levels, forming communities in which they could fight for equal rights while simultaneously staying true to both their ethnic and sexual identities. Yet histories of LGBT activism in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s often reduce the role that Latinas/os played, resulting in misinformation, or ignore their work entirely, erasing them from history. Queer Brown Voices is the first book published to counter this trend, documenting the efforts of some of these LGBT Latina/o activists. Comprising essays and oral history interviews that present the experiences of fourteen activists across the United States and in Puerto Rico, the book offers a new perspective on the history of LGBT mobilization and activism. The activists discuss subjects that shed light not only on the organizations they helped to create and operate, but also on their broad-ranging experiences of being racialized and discriminated against, fighting for access to health care during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and struggling for awareness.
