Challenging dominant representations LGBTIQ Roma

项目摘要

Romanticising or vilifying stereotypical representations of Roma often imposed by non-Roma have been instrumental in generating and maintaining negative perceptions of Roma. Roma, sometimes also referred to as 'Gypsies' or 'Travellers', are subsequently often seen as a risk to societal and national security (Van Baar 2015). Even in Romani Studies, the academic area of study, Roma have often been essentialised as 'eternal Gypsy nomads' that does not reflect their lived realities (Tremlett 2009, Willems 1997). Focusing on romanticised or villified notions of a shared identity has led to Roma being conflated with a stigmatised group identity (Tremlett and McGarry 2013). This collective conception of ethnic identity has led to all members of an assumed 'group' being reduced to possessing the same set of assumed characteristics and values.In the political landscape, neoliberal nation states have over-visibilised and used Roma to generate solidarity, belonging and identity among non-Roma (McGarry 2017); yet, at the same time, actual Roma lives remain 'hard to see' (Stewart 2010) or 'invisible' (Okely 2010). With this backdrop, LGBTIQ Roma have barely existed in this research, leading to the needs of Roma remaining largely invisible to governments, institutions and service providers (Fremlova 2017). The candidate's doctoral research (2017), which addressed this empirical gap, found that LGBTIQ Roma experience many types of discrimination and multiple objectification from non-Roma and Roma. LGBTIQ Roma are associated with stigmatising conceptions of ethnicity/race, sexuality and gender identity, and their voices, their narratives and life experiences, are barely registered in public discourses. Simultaneously, being heard and visibility is key to acceptance and belonging (Fremlova 2017). This indicates that there is tension between the (in)visibilities and representations of Roma. According to Tremlett (2014), accurate understanding of Roma requires a conscious effort made by non-Roma to transcend historically constructed stereotypes about Roma whilst addressing the history of oppression that has resulted in a distorted imagery portraying Roma. Research needs to attend closely to the self-representations - narratives and self-made images - of Roma people themselves (Tremlett 2017).The question 'How can we challenge dominant representations of LGBTIQ Roma in public spaces through queer creative and discursive research-informed interventions?' will guide the proposed investigation into questioning stereotypical representations of LGBTIQ Roma through analysing existing and new photos of LGBTIQ Roma. In answer to Tremlett's (2014c, 2017) call, this project will unpack the conceptual interplay of (in)visibilities, self-representations, the everyday/ordinary, acceptance and belonging. This will be done with a view to maximising the impact of the findings of the candidate's PhD by re-engaging with some of the research participants from her PhD and engaging with new ones in a top-up research exploring the potential of visual self-representations to contextualise, critique and challenge the dominant representational canons through queer (non-normative) creative and discursive interventions. The candidate will be benefit from the supervisions and mentoring from two experts: Dr Annabel Tremlett (Main mentor; Senior Lecturer, University of Portsmouth) is an expert on art-based research (2014a, 2014b), representations of Roma in the media and the everyday ordinariness of Romani people's lives (2017). Dr Olu Jenzen's (Second mentor; Principal Lecturer, University of Brighton) research expertise lies in the area of LGBTQ digital activism and culture, the aesthetics of protest, politics of aesthetic form, and the representation of gender and sexuality in film, literature and popular culture. As a researcher with experience in creative participatory methods Dr Jenzen will also be able to support the project methodologically.

对罗姆人的形象进行浪漫化或丑化，往往是由非罗姆人强加的，这有助于产生和维持对罗姆人的负面看法。罗姆人，有时也被称为“吉普赛人”或“流浪者”，随后往往被视为社会和国家安全的风险（货车巴尔，2015年）。即使在罗姆人研究，学术研究领域，罗姆人往往被本质化为“永恒的吉普赛游牧民族”，这并不反映他们的生活现实（Tremlett 2009，Willems 1997）。关注浪漫化或诋毁的共同身份概念导致罗姆人与污名化的群体身份混为一谈（Tremlett和McGarry 2013）。这种种族认同的集体概念导致一个假定的“群体”的所有成员都被简化为拥有同一套假定的特征和价值观。在政治格局中，新自由主义民族国家过度认同罗姆人，并利用罗姆人在非罗姆人中产生团结、归属感和认同感。（McGarry 2017）;然而，与此同时，实际的罗姆人生活仍然“很难看到”（Stewart 2010）或“看不见”（Okely 2010）。在这种背景下，LGBTIQ罗姆人在这项研究中几乎不存在，导致罗姆人的需求在很大程度上对政府，机构和服务提供商来说是不可见的（Fremlova 2017）。该候选人的博士研究（2017年），解决了这一经验差距，发现LGBTIQ罗姆人经历了许多类型的歧视和非罗姆人和罗姆人的多重客观化。LGBTIQ罗姆人与族裔/种族、性和性别认同的污名化概念有关，他们的声音、叙述和生活经历几乎没有在公共话语中记录。同时，被倾听和可见性是接受和归属的关键（Fremlova 2017）。这表明，罗姆人的（非）居住权和代表权之间存在紧张关系。根据Tremlett（2014年）的说法，准确理解罗姆人需要非罗姆人有意识地努力超越历史上对罗姆人的刻板印象，同时解决压迫历史导致罗姆人形象扭曲的问题。研究需要密切关注罗姆人自身的自我表征-叙事和自制图像（Tremlett 2017）。问题“我们如何通过酷儿创造性和话语性的研究知情干预来挑战LGBTIQ罗姆人在公共空间的主导表征？“将通过分析现有和新的LGBTIQ罗姆人照片，指导拟议的调查，以质疑对LGBTIQ罗姆人的陈规定型观念。为了响应Tremlett（2014 c，2017）的号召，这个项目将解开（不）活力，自我表现，日常/普通，接受和归属感的概念相互作用。这将是为了最大限度地发挥候选人的博士学位的研究结果的影响，通过重新与她的博士学位的一些研究参与者，并与新的参与者进行一项补充研究，探索视觉自我表征的潜力，通过酷儿（非规范性）创造性和话语性干预来语境化，批判和挑战占主导地位的代表性大炮。候选人将受益于两位专家的监督和指导：安娜贝尔·特雷姆莱特博士（主要导师;朴茨茅斯大学高级讲师）是艺术研究专家（2014 a，2014 b），媒体中罗姆人的代表性和罗姆人日常生活的平凡性（2017）。博士奥卢Jenzen（第二导师;首席讲师，布莱顿大学）的研究专长在于LGBTQ数字行动主义和文化，抗议美学，美学形式的政治，以及性别和性在电影，文学和流行文化的代表性领域。作为一名具有创造性参与方法经验的研究人员，Jenzen博士也将能够在方法上支持该项目。
