RECALIBRANDO O “UNIVERSO QUEER” TRANSNACIONAL: POSICIONALIDADES-IDENTITÁRIAS LÉSBICAS E "LÉSBICAS" EM DELI NOS ANOS 80 (TRADUÇÂO)
Resumo
Este estudo emerge de minha perplexidade e preocupação durante diversas conferências profissionais recentes (não a Associação de Geógrafos Americanos) nos EUA onde identidades queer transnacionais e movimentos sociais foram discutidos. Nestes contextos eu repetidamente ouvi acadêmicos situados nos EUA afirmarem, geralmente de um modo elogioso, que finalmente os movimentos queer emergiram no mundo pós-colonial do meio para o fim dos anos 90, e estão atualmente prósperos. De fato, ao longo dos últimos vinte anos ou mais e mais especificamente na última década, acadêmicos queer norte-americanos, ativistas e mesmo agências turísticas produziram uma infinidade de representações de queers localizados fora dos EUA. Elas circularam de forma crescente na academia, ativismo, em contextos de lazer e outros. Estas produções e circulações são certamente criadas através de uma gama de desejos, incluindo os anseios de acadêmicos e ativistas queer por conectividade, solidariedade e comunidade entre-queers. Paradoxalmente, no entanto, elas todas muito frequentemente têm o efeito oposto. Porque representações queer transnacionais podem ser inadvertidamente ligadas com outros ocultamentos queer em uma configuração inseparável de representação/apagamento. Este estudo aborda alguns dos problemas que tais representações/apagamentos representam para os locais sendo representados ou não representados e para possíveis alianças queer transversais (Yuval-Davis 1998). Por alianças queer transversais, eu quero dizer conexões de solidariedade tanto dentro como entre escalas, tais como dentro de um âmbito local, de um âmbito local para outro, de um âmbito local para um regional, ou transnacionalmente, em uma miríade de arranjos possíveis.
