This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the ways in which transgender women who identify as being inside "the closet" in Bogotá, Colombia, negotiate their gender identities. It provides a detailed ethnographical account of the experiences of the participants by looking at how they negotiate gender through three lenses: intimate relationships, space and sense of belonging. This thesis also critically addresses the concept of gender by engaging with the participants' embodied, spatialized and relational experiences of family relationships and being in the closet. This provides the basis for discussing how the tensions between the experiences of a sense of belonging and not-belonging enable the participants to create strategies to reduce the conflict between their different belongings and maintain their intimate relationships. In this sense, this thesis understands gender as constantly negotiated in different contexts, with different people in different places. The Introduction provides a brief context of the field of this research. Chapter 2 explains how the research was undertaken methodologically. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with the relationship between family relationships and gender and sexuality, arguing that family life is a key arena for negotiating them. Here I engage with the concept of intimate citizenship and the experiences of the participants around intimate life, and their relationships as children, parents and partners. Finally, Chapters 5 and 6 concentrate on the participants' experiences participants of the closet by looking at gender and sense of belonging, arguing that the closet is not a closed off space. Its boundaries are not fixed, as people are able to step in and out of it in dialogue with broader society, their relationships and belongings. Indeed, as with the gendered lives of my research participants being threaded through multiple places and relationships, the closet is dynamic and productive of diversely complex negotiations and performances of gendered being and doing.

Download or read book Trans written by Ruth Morgan and published by Fanele. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With more than twenty original voices from the trans community in South Africa, this book is a journal of shared experiences for trans people and a fascinating point of departure for interested members of the general public. The contributors who 'transitioned, are transitioning or will transition', have all been actively involved in the process of making the book and have a great deal to say about their personal experiences of being transgender today. Their illuminating and touching life stories are complemented by the extraordinary photographs by renowned photographer, Robert Hamblin. Many of the stories collected here touch on the isolation that transgender people often feel in their communities. Transgender issues are a taboo subject for discussion, which are either ignored by the media, or covered in an invasive, insensitive and sensationalist way. The stories stress the need to provide accurate information, counter negative stereotypes, reduce discrimination, provide transgender people with honest representations of their lives, and offer visible, positive role models. This book brings us all a small step closer to a future where no young transgender person in South Africa grows up in isolation and despair"--Publisher's website.

Book Synopsis Before We Were Trans by : Dr Kit Heyam
Download or read book Before We Were Trans written by Dr Kit Heyam and published by . This book was released on 2022-06-23 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world today, people of all ages are doing fascinating, creative, messy things with gender. These people have a rich history - but one that is often left behind by narratives of trans lives that focus on people with stable, binary, uncomplicated gender identities. As a result, these stories tend to be recent, binary, stereotyped, medicalised and white. Before We Were Trans is a new and different story of gender, that seeks not to be comprehensive or definitive, but - by blending culture, feminism and politics - to widen the scope of what we think of as trans history by telling the stories of people across the globe whose experience of gender has been transgressive, or not characterised by stability or binary categories. Transporting us from Renaissance Venice to seventeenth-century Angola, from Edo Japan to North America, the stories this book tells leave questions and resist conclusions. They are fraught with ambiguity, and defy modern Western terminology and categories - not least the category of 'trans' itself. But telling them provides a history that reflects the richness of modern trans reality more closely than any previously written. Before We Were Trans is a history and celebration of gender in all its fluidity, ambiguity and complexity.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Inequalities and the Life Course by : Magda Nico
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Inequalities and the Life Course written by Magda Nico and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon perspectives from across the globe and employing an interdisciplinary life course approach, this handbook explores the production and reproduction of different types of inequality across a variety of social contexts. Inequalities are not static, easily measurable, and essentially quantifiable circumstances of life. They are processes which impact on individuals throughout the life course, interacting with each other, accumulating, attenuating, reproducing, or distorting themselves along the way. The chapters in this handbook examine various types of inequality, such as economic, gender, racial, and ethnic inequalities, and analyse how these inequalities manifest themselves within different aspects of society, including health, education, and the family, at multiple levels and dimensions. The handbook also tackles the global COVID-19 pandemic and its striking impact on the production and intensification of inequalities. The interdisciplinary life course approach utilised in this handbook combines quantitative and qualitative methods to bridge the gap between theory and practice and offer strategies and principles for identifying and tackling issues of inequality. This book will be indispensable for students and researchers as well as activists and policy makers interested in understanding and eradicating the processes of production, reproduction, and perpetuation of inequalities.
Download or read book Qur'an and Woman written by Amina Wadud and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-06-10 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen centuries of Islamic thought have produced a legacy of interpretive readings of the Qu'ran written almost entirely by men. Now, with Qu'ran and Woman, Amina Wadud provides a first interpretive reading by a woman, a reading which validates the female voice in the Qu'ran and brings it out of the shadows. Muslim progressives have long argued that it is not the religion but patriarchal interpretation and implementation of the Qu'ran that have kept women oppressed. For many, the way to reform is the reexamination and reinterpretation of religious texts. Qu'ran and Woman contributes a gender inclusive reading to one of the most fundamental disciplines in Islamic thought, Qu'ranic exegesis. Wadud breaks down specific texts and key words which have been used to limit women's public and private role, even to justify violence toward Muslim women, revealing that their original meaning and context defy such interpretations. What her analysis clarifies is the lack of gender bias, precedence, or prejudice in the essential language of the Qur'an. Despite much Qu'ranic evidence about the significance of women, gender reform in Muslim society has been stubbornly resisted. Wadud's reading of the Qu'ran confirms women's equality and constitutes legitimate grounds for contesting the unequal treatment that women have experienced historically and continue to experience legally in Muslim communities. The Qu'ran does not prescribe one timeless and unchanging social structure for men and women, Wadud argues lucidly, affirming that the Qu'ran holds greater possibilities for guiding human society to a more fulfilling and productive mutual collaboration between men and women than as yet attained by Muslims or non-Muslims.

Book Synopsis Homophobic Violence in Armed Conflict and Political Transition by : José Fernando Serrano-Amaya
Download or read book Homophobic Violence in Armed Conflict and Political Transition written by José Fernando Serrano-Amaya and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that homophobia plays a fundamental role in disputes for hegemony between antagonists during political transitions. Examining countries not often connected in the same research—Colombia and South Africa—the book asserts that homophobia, as a form of gender and sexual violence, contributes to the transformation of gender and sexual orders required by warfare and deployed by armed groups. Anti-homosexual violence also reinforces the creation of consensus around these projects of change. The book considers the perspective of individuals and their organizations, for whom such hatreds are part of the embodied experience of violence caused by protracted conflicts and social inequalities. Resistance to that violence are reason to mobilize and become political actors. This book contributes to the increasing interest in South-South comparative analyses and the need of theory building based on case-study analyses, offering systematic research useful for grass root organizations, practitioners, and policy makers.
