“…The fact that no single storyline on phobic violence featured perpetrators with a non-Western ethno-cultural background, however, complicates such an interpretation. Insofar as the racialization of homo-and transphobia is an important component to the (re-)production of homonationalist discourses (see Szulc & Smets, 2015), Flemish television fiction takes an oppositional position, explicitly disarticulating ethnicity and cultural identity as essential components to hostile attitudes towards sexual and gender diversity.…”

Fictional representations of LGBT+ people offer a way to study how socio-cultural discourses on sexual and gender identity are reflected in popular culture. Notwithstanding the fact that particular contexts play a pivotal role in this dynamic, queer television theory currently derives exclusively from U.S. cases. With a quantitative analysis of LGBT+ characters in Flemish television fiction between 2001 and 2016, this study provides a descriptive framework to engage with the representation of sexual and gender diversity in a different context. Firstly, the study establishes the prominent presence of LGBT+ characters in Flemish television fiction. It shows that differences between Flemish public and commercial fiction content are negligible, but that discrepancies between genres are significant. The scarcity of sexual and gender diversity in externally produced ‘quality’ fiction, moreover, suggests a need for channels to formulate stricter expectations to production companies. Concerning individual characters, the study points to an overrepresentation of gay male characters, a lack of LGBT+ characters of color and the pervasiveness of gender conformity. Closer analysis, on the contrary, reveals a disarticulation of Flemings of color from homophobic violence, and the recasting of gender non-conformity on straight characters. This suggests a critical, self-reflexive awareness of stereotyping in fiction production. Accordingly, the findings of this study offer a point of departure for qualitative engagements with LGBT+ televisibility in Flanders. The data presented should not be conceived of as a finality, but as a necessary framework to internationalize and diversify the study of sexual and gender diversity on television.

“…Així, la tolerància amb gais i lesbianes s'alinea amb el clàssic binomi orientalista de tradicionalisme, retard i "barbàrie" versus modernitat, progrés, civilització i inclusió de persones LGTB (Heimer, 2020). Aquest binomi és una ampliació del conegut orientalisme (Said, 1978) que oposa principalment occident i orient, centrant-se en territoris majoritàriament musulmans (Benhadjoudja, 2017;Szulc & Smets, 2015) tot i que també pensa en altres territoris com a països africans majoritàriament cristians (Rao, 2020;Jungar & Peltonen, 2017;Wahab, 2016b) o Rússia (Takács & Szalma, 2020;Travers & Shearman, 2017) i Europa de l'Est (Kulpa, 2014;Moss, 2014). D'aquest binomi entre civilització i barbàrie en deriva després una missió civilitzadora o un deure de neo-colonitzar en termes d'inclusió LGTB que va del deure de promoure aquests drets (Swimelar, 2019;Ammaturo, 2015;Kulpa, 2014) sobre pressions per implementar-los (Rao, 2020;Kulpa, 2014) fins a la justificació de guerres en el nom dels drets LGTB (Bracke, 2012).…”

Valors homonacionalistes? La proposta d’una dimensionalització per a un instrument de mesura propi

En el debat sobre els nacionalismes la diversitat sexual i de gènere acostuma a ser obviada. La proposta conceptual de l’homonacionalisme omple aquest buit. L’homonacionalisme descriu com a partir dels anys 2000 la diversitat sexual i de gènere s’inclou discursivament en el sí de les nacions al nord global, mentre que es racialitza i s’exclou l’homofòbia. L’homonacionalisme esdevé així una eina complexa però útil per analitzar discursos, subjectes i polítiques. Encara hi ha pocs estudis quantitatius sobre valors homonacionalistes i tots treballen amb dades secundàries. A aquest article explico les mancances de les mesures quantitatives existents d’homonacionalisme i proposo una dimensionalització que parteix d’una conceptualització pròpia fruit d’una revisió de la literatura. Aquesta dimensionalització serveix pel desenvolupament d’un instrument de mesura propi.

“…The analysis of previous research is methodologically diverse, but mainly qualitative. Some works are based on audiovisual analysis (Cherry, 2018;Szulc & Smets, 2015;Nebeling Petersen & Myong, 2015;MacCann, 2015), others on analysis of the press (Jungar & Peltonen, 2017;Travers & Shearman, 2017;Serykh, 2017). Some deal with pride parades and the LGBTQ+ and/or supporters' communities (Kehl, 2018;Yildiz, 2017;Szulc, 2016;Ammaturo, 2016;Rexhepi, 2016;Sadurní Balcells & Pujol Tarrés, 2015;Hubbard & Wilkinson, 2015;Kulpa, 2014a;Bracke, 2012;Jirvraj & de Jong, 2011) and urban spaces (Mepschen, 2016;Hubbard & Wilkinson, 2015).…”

Homonationalism in Europe? A Quantitative Comparison of the Values of Europeans

In the context of growing interest in sexual dissidence, academic and social movements are discussing homonationalism as the combination of tolerance towards lesbians and gays, racism and nationalism in a neoliberal globalised world. In this article we aim to quantitatively compare European nation states on homonationalist values using data collected through the European Value Study (2008-2010), through correlations and cross tabulation analysis. We ask to what extent homonationalism is reflected in the values of Europeans and if there is any difference among European countries. The results indicate that homonationalism is not reflected in the values of all Europeans. Those who are more tolerant to homosexuality tend to be less racist and nationalist. However, our results confirm the existence of groups of people in western European countries who combine tolerance to LGB people, racism and nationalism and consequently must be qualified as homonationalists.
