Building spaces of belonging: queer lesbians in Cape Town

Susan Holland-Muter

Abstract: Two dominant and contrasting narratives characterize public discourse on queer sexualities in Cape Town. On the one hand, the city is considered the gay capital of South Africa, a place that promises opportunities, well-being and belonging. Cape Town, on the other hand, is also known for being a city of strong racialized contrasts, with queer experience materialized in places of racialized (in)security, zones of pleasure and danger in a bifurcated lens of rich zones/township, safety and danger . This presentation will explore narratives of the everyday lives of queer women and lesbians in Cape Town. Interviews with lesbians from my doctoral study will be explored through their counter-narratives, which reveal how they actively "make" Cape Town a home from within and in relation to racialized and class heteronormativities. Navigating Cape Town's everyday/night space reveals the specific and focused lesbian way of occupying and inhabiting the city. Their queer lifeworlds overlap, complement and contradict the city's official 'Pink Maps' and rework the meaning of the representation of Cape Town as the gay capital of South Africa. These gray out the racialized binary of security and territorial danger and produce moods of lesbian home constructions, notably embodied lesbian modes; homonormativity and borders. These counter-narratives reveal queer lesbian lifeworlds that are ephemeral, contingent and fractured, making known hybrid, contrasting, and alternative narratives of the city.

 

Susan Holland-Muter holds a Ph.D. in Humanities from the Department of Sociology at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. She has been actively participating in social movements of women and LGBTI people in South Africa and Colombia, and working as a researcher, teacher and public policy advocate in the areas of gender and sexuality policies. Her publications include a focus on lesbian motherhood, families and queer kinship, as well as the politics of lesbian spatialities in everyday life. She is the author of Outside of the Safety Zone: An agenda for research on violence against lesbian and gender non-conforming women in South Africa. He currently teaches in the Department of Sociology at the University of the Western Cape. 

Notes on a trajectory of research on sexuality, gender, race and government policy in Brazil

Silvia Aguião

Abstract: The presentation exposes some ethnographic elements of research carried out between 2003 and 2016, regarding the constitution of the field of “LGBT” rights and the “promotion of gender and race equality” at the Brazilian government level. The objective is to reflect on the relationship between the research questions, the sociopolitical context of the period and the theoretical-methodological perspectives adopted in the investigations. 

Silvia Aguião holds a Ph.D. in Social Sciences from the State University of Campinas, a Masters in Public Health from the Institute of Social Medicine/UERJ and a degree in Social Sciences from the State University of Rio de Janeiro. Performed post-doctoral internships at the Brazilian Center for Analysis and Planning (CEBRAP) and at the Graduate Program in Psychology at the Federal University of Maranhão (PPGPI/UFMA). She is currently a research associate at AFRO - Center for Research and Training in Race, Gender and Racial Justice (AFRO/CEBRAP) and at the Latin American Center for Sexuality and Human Rights (CLAM/UERJ). It operates and conducts research in the areas of sexuality, gender and race in its interfaces with sociability, policies and rights, social movements and State processes. She is the editor of Sexualidad, Salud y Sociedad - Revista Latinoamericana and author of the book Doing yourself in the State. An ethnography on the process of constitution of the 'LGBT' as subjects of rights in contemporary Brazil (Eduerj, 2018).

Based on two research experiences about businesses and traders in the Chiado area, in Lisbon, and Bonfim, in Porto, Portugal, it is intended to discuss how the notions of tradition and identity are strategically mobilized, in different ways, by the projects of city marketing by the public authorities and by merchants, engendering ambivalences and negotiations. It is proposed to think of these concepts as local constructions from the context of globalization.

The National Encounters of Anthropology of Law, ENADIR, are biannual events promoted by the Nucleus of Anthropology of Law, NADIR, based in the Department of Anthropology of the University of São Paulo, USP. Despite the almost identical names, the meetings and the nucleus are not confused, since it is the existence of NADIR, since 2008, that allows the realization of ENADIR, since 2009, although it is possible to say that they feed each other.

ENADIR's goals have remained firm since 2009: to generate new knowledge and promote the improvement of the quality of scientific production in the field of anthropology of law and related areas, encouraging and supporting exchanges between researchers from different national institutions and even international higher education, research, governmental and non-governmental organizations.

We hope that, in these times so adverse for academic life, for Brazilian political life and for the lives of each one of us, the VII ENADIR will be a place of welcome, encouragement and renewal of hopes. May the perception and the reiteration that we form a large collective of researchers, focused on topics of high social and political relevance, strengthen us and make us proceed with special determination.

Film screenings and conversation circles
