Abstract

From its sweaty beats to the pulsating music on the streets, Latin/o America is perceived in the United States as the land of heat, the toy store for Western sex. It is the territory of magical fantasy and of revolutionary threat, where topography is the travel guide of desire, directing imperial voyeurs to the exhibition of the flesh. Jose Quiroga flips the stereotype upside down: he shows how Latin/o American lesbians and gay men have consistently eschewed notions of sexual identity for a politics of intervention. In Tropics of Desire, Quiroga reads hesitant Mexican poets as sex-positive voices, he questions how outing and identity politics can fall prey to the manipulations of the state, and explores how invisibility has been used as a tactical tool in opposition to the universal imperative to come out. Drawing on diverse cultural examples such as the performance of bolero and salsa, film, literature, and correspondence, and influenced by masters like Roland Barthes, Walter Benjamin and a rich tradition of Latin American stylists, Quiroga argues for a politics that denies biological determinism and cannibalizes cultural stereotypes for the sake of political action.--

Abstract

François Rigaux a publié sou le titre Plaisir, interdits et pouvoir, un recueil de cours qu´il a fait pendant l´année académique 1996-1997 en tant que titulaire de la Chaire Franqui. Il s´agit d´une analyse des discriminations fondées sur le sexe, l´orientation sexuelle et la race. L´auteur poursuit un examen objectif des problèmes relatifs à ce sujet, portant souvent à de vives controverses, surtout en ce qui concerne le mariage de personnes de même sexe. Il présente des notions telles que ´la discrimination´, ´le racisme´, le comportement déviant ou contre nature´ de manière impartiale et dans un contexte historique. Il essaie également de répondre à la question de savoir si la problématique se situe au niveau du droit privé ou du droit public. Différents aspects du mariage civil sont examinés de plus prés, de même que ses implications sur le droit fondamental à l´intimité et au respect de la vie privée et vice versa. Un lien est établi entre les discriminations raciales et celles qui ont pour objet le sexe ou l´orientation sexuelle. Ce livre est le premier livre de langue française dans la collection néerlandophone ´Ontmoetingen met Recht´ (Rencontres avec le droit).

Abstract

The most comprehensive resource to date on the methods of empowerment with lesbian and gay clients, this book explores the history and politics of gay identity and explains the basis and development of the empowerment approach in social work practice in the United States. After analyzing the different types of homophobia (individual, institutional, and internalized) and how these are manifested in real life situations, Tully addresses the special needs and issues particular to three age groups: gay and lesbian youth, adults, and older clients. The author offers practical applications for the social worker and client at the micro-, mezzo-, and macro-levels, from helping a teenage client to discover a personal sexual orientation (micro), to organizing a social event for lesbians and gays (mezzo), to building a community coalition (macro). Eye-opening case studies are provided for each age group and cover everything from defining problems, identifying the underlying issues causing them, understanding the role of homophobia, and the application of the empowerment perspective.
