Porous Boundaries

Drawing on theories of identity postulated by cultural theorists, scholars of gender identity, and critical race theorists, I explore issues of identity politics and “Otherness” as they pertain to Romani identity, history and activism. By critiquing the latent bifurcation of identity and subjectivity in Judith Butler’s theory of performativity as well as her explicit adherence to universalism, I begin to outline a (post-Hegelian) hermeneutic in which narratives of self enable political processes of self-determination against symbolic and epistemic systems of racialization and minoritization.[1] Roma identity both serves as an oppressive social category while at the same time empowering people for whom a shared ethnic group provides a sense of solidarity and community. In re-conceptualizing, reimagining and re-claiming Romani-ness, we can make movements towards outlining a new Romani subjectivity – a subjectivity that is firmly rooted in counterhistories of Roma, with porous boundaries that both celebrate our diversity and foster solidarity. I come to the subject of Romani identity from an understanding that our racialized and gendered identities are both performed and embodied – forming part of the horizon from which we make meaning of the world. I wish to recast the discourse surrounding Romani identity as hybridized and multicultural, as well as, following Glissant, embedded into a pluritopic notion of history.

Despite establishing the gendered construction of infertility, most research on the subject has not examined how individuals with such reproductive difficulty negotiate their own sense of gender. I explore this gap through 58 interviews with women who are medically infertile and involuntarily childless. In studying how women achieve their gender, I reveal the importance of the body to such construction. For the participants, there is not just a motherhood mandate in the United States, but a fertility mandate—women are not just supposed to mother, they are supposed to procreate. Given this understanding, participants maintain their gender by denying their infertile status. They do so through reliance on essentialist notions, using their bodies as a means of constructing a gendered sense of self. Using the tenets of transgender theory, this study not only informs our understanding of infertility, but also our broader understanding of the relationship between gender, identity, and the body, exposing how individuals negotiate their gender through physical as well as institutional and social constraints.

La escuela constituye un espacio reproductor de la cultura heteronormativa y de los patrones, roles y normas de género; especialmente desde el área de Educación Física en la que el género suele ser un tema tenido en cuenta diariamente. No todas las personas se identifican con uno de los dos sexos establecidos socialmente: masculino o femenino, pudiéndose identificar con ambos o con ninguno de ellos. El presente artículo tiene por objeto realizar una revisión de la literatura con el objetivo de explorar el momento en el que se encuentra la temática de diversidad en la identidad y la expresión del género en la etapa de Educación Primaria y concretamente en el área de Educación Física. La revisión ha sido llevada a cabo en diferentes bases de datos y fuentes de indización internacional: Dialnet, EBSCO, DOAJ, Pubmed y WOS, además de libros especializados en campos próximos a la temática. No se ha encontrado ningún resultado que trate las identidades de género no binarias en el ámbito educativo, dentro del periodo de Educación Primaria y desde la Educación Física. Se presenta una temática actual y realista pendiente de ser abordada desde el ámbito educativo.Abstract: School constitutes a space reproducing heteronormative culture and gender patterns, roles, and norms, especially in the area of Physical Education, in which gender is usually a topic taken into account daily. Not all people identify themselves with one of the two socially established sexes: male or female, as they may identify themselves with both or none of them. The purpose of this article is to review the literature in order to explore the incidence of the theme of diversity in gender identity and expression in the Primary Education stage, and specifically in the area of Physical Education. The review was carried out in different databases and sources of international indexing: Dialnet, EBSCO, ERIC, DOAJ, Pubmed, and WOS, as well as in specialized books in fields close to the subject. No data addressing non-binary gender identities in the educational field was found within Primary Education and Physical Education. This shows a current and realistic topic pending to be approached from the educational field.

Initial Knowledge

Gender identity disorder is a sexual disorder characterized by strong identification with the opposite gender, followed by unpleasant feeling due to the birth given gender. Longstanding clinical experience with transgender population has brought new knowledge and better understanding of gender identity and gender identity disorders. Initial knowledge referred to sexual orientation of gender dysphoric persons such as homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual and asexual. The contemporary literature dealing with transgenderism and transsexualism brings out the concept of autogynephilia (from Greek ?love oneself as a woman?) which is the subject of numerous controversies among the experts in this field as well as in the transgender community. The concept of autogynephilia gained importance in Blanchard?s work and his attempts to improve diagnostic categories of gender identity disorders and implement efficient strategies in the management of adult male patients. The main topic of this paper refers to the evolution of the autogynephilia concept, which most prominent authors within the field elaborate as a type of male paraphillic tendency of a person to be sexually by the idea of a phantasy or an image of oneself as a woman, naming these persons ?nonhomosexual transsexuals? or ?autogynephilic transsexuals?.

Gender Concept

The article clarifies of gender identity stereotypes in modern media. The main gender stereotypes covered in modern mass media are analyzed and refuted. The model of gender relations in the media is reflected mainly in the stereotypical images of men and woman. The features of the use of gender concepts in modern periodicals for women and men were determined. The most frequently used derivatives of these macroconcepts were identified and analyzed in detail. It has been found that publications for women and men are full of various gender concepts that are used in different contexts. Ingeneral, theanalysisofthe concept-maximums and concept-minimum gender and their characteristics is carried out in the context of gender stereotypes that have been forme dand function in the society, system atizing the a ctual presentations. The study of the gender concept is relevant because it reveals new trends and features of modern gender images. Taking into account the special features of gender-labeled periodicals in general and the practical absence of comprehensive scientific studies of the gender concept in particular, there is a need to supplement Ukrainian science with this topic. Gender psychology, which is served by methods of various sciences, primarily sociological, pedagogical, linguistic, psychological, socio-psychological. Let us pay attention to linguistic and psycholinguistic methods in gender studies. Linguistic methods complement intelligence research tasks, associated with speech, word and text. Psycholinguistic methods used in gender psychology (semantic differential, semantic integral, semantic analysis of words and texts), aimed at studying speech messages, specific mechanisms of origin and perception, functions of speech activity in society, studying the relationship between speech messages and gender properties participants in the communication, to analyze the linguistic development in connection with the general development of the individual. Nowhere in gender practice there is the whole arsenal of psychological methods that allow you to explore psychological peculiarities of a person like observation, experiments, questionnaires, interviews, testing, modeling, etc. The methods of psychological self-diagnostics include: the gender aspect of the own socio-psychological portrait, a gender biography as a variant of the biographical method, aimed at the reconstruction of individual social experience. In the process of writing a gender autobiography, a person can understand the characteristics of his gender identity, as well as ways and means of their formation. Socio-psychological methods of studying gender include the study of socially constructed women’s and men’s roles, relationships and identities, sexual characteristics, psychological characteristics, etc. The use of gender indicators and gender approaches as a means of socio-psychological and sociological analysis broadens the subject boundaries of these disciplines and makes them the subject of study within these disciplines. And also, in the article a combination of concrete-historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is implemented. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. Also used is a method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-stamped journals. It was he who allowed quantitatively to identify and explore the features of the gender concept in the pages of periodicals for women and men. A combination of historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is also implemented in the article. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. A method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-labeled journals is also used. It allowed to identify and explore the features of the gender concept quantitatively in the periodicals for women and men. The conceptual perception and interpretation of the gender concept «woman», which is highlighted in the modern gender-labeled press in Ukraine, requires the elaboration of the polyfunctionality of gender interpretations, the comprehension of the metaphorical perception of this image and its role and purpose in society. A gendered approach to researching the gender content of contemporary periodicals for women and men. Conceptual analysis of contemporary gender-stamped publications within the gender conceptual sphere allows to identify and correlate the meta-gender and gender concepts that appear in society.

The Peony Pavilion is a story central to Chinese gender identity. It vividly portrays a story of the path of sexual individuation of a Chinese woman. In comparison to female images in Western stories, Chinese women are the active ones in their intimate relationships with men. They have been oppressed for many years because they are recognised as the subject of desire and as having reflexive aggression. However, with enough love, a girl dares to separate from her natal family, to fight against the patriarchal system, and to be herself. Identifying with the father’s aggression can facilitate her in this process.

Human Participants

In 1960s Rio de Janeiro, a multidisciplinary group of artists dedicated themselves to making art that invited active, sensory engagement from audience participants. This neoconcrete group theorized the art object as participatory and relational. The theoretical consequences of this approach to art-making included an expansion of the object’s agency. No longer a static wall-hung work of art, the object was now capable of shaping the engagement of its human participants. Conversely, these participants would share in the object-like qualities of the artwork, merging with it in a relational exchange in which both the human and the nonhuman contributed to the constitution of the work. However, changes to this paradigm arise when the subject (or object) in question is not an abstract participant untethered to notions of gender identity. In Lygia Pape’s work, objects are embodied and bodies are objectified, but, as she shows, this exchange cannot be separated from gender. This essay examines key works by Lygia Pape, including the Neoconcrete Ballet, Divisor, and Eat Me, and argues that her embodied aesthetics, rooted in twentieth century Brazilian art, chart new horizons for feminist posthumanism today.

Statutory Regulation

In the context of the increased attention to the rights of the LGBTQ community representatives, the problem of allowing transgender people to participate in sports competitions cannot but arise, which is the subject of discussion at the level of the IOC and international sports federations. In these circumstances, the legislator and the sports community face a difficult task to balance the idea of universal equality in the context of access to sports regardless of gender and fair competition, which is reasonably questioned in cases of admission of transgender people to women's competitions.The analysis of the UK legislation shows that the statutory regulation of these issues is carried out at various levels: the basic provisions are prescribed in the laws, while the detailed procedures for the admission of these persons to competitions are carried out in the relevant guidelines for sports federations. Content analysis reveals that attempts to implement a pragmatic approach to the question of access of persons not meeting the classic ideas of gender identity to sports competitions. This approach develops different strategies depending on the level of competition, type of sport (contact/noncontact), physiological characteristics of athletes, divided for these purposes into several categories. The UK reserves the right to allow transgender athletes to participate in national competitions, ensuring a more inclusive approach on the part of national governing bodies, and develops rules for their admission to international competitions, taking into account the existing requirements.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.
