项目摘要

What people see on television, film and in the news media can have significant impact on how they understand the world, interact and empathise with others in their everyday lives. In sports and leisure entertainment, media representations can influence how people treat LGBT+ individuals and their corresponding access to leisure opportunities. In 2021, we witnessed a huge step forward for the UK's LGBT+ ballroom dance community when Strictly Come Dancing (SCD) changed its 18-year long traditional format to include a male-male professional/amateur dance partnership into its line-up, following its first female-female coupling in 2020. SCD's shift was accompanied by increased media representations of LGBT+ lives and relationships through gay-identifying dancers and portrayals of the UK's LGBT+ ballroom dance culture. My main aim in this Fellowship is to leverage this active media discourse inspired by SCD to maximise impact and dissemination of my PhD research on UK's LGBT+ ballroom dance culture, so as to increase the visibility and acceptance of LGBT+ dancers in partner dancing.Despite growing media visibility of same-sex dancing such as in SCD's 2021 finale, and the possibilities it holds for deconstructing dominant gender discourse in mainstream dancing, the subject remains understudied. My PhD is a pioneering work examining LGBT+ dancers' lived experiences of competitive same-sex ballroom dancing through a queer feminist lens. The novelty of my PhD lies in my visual methodology involving photo-elicitation with visual artefacts (Tillmann-Healy, 2001; Boylorn, 2008) and auto-ethnography as a photographer and dancer, to propose a sociological framework for the examination of dancing bodies as material and discursive, relational and resistive. I show that we cannot envision new possibilities for promoting inclusive dance expressions through the same heteronormative patterns, proposing an analytical framework which recognises diversity in transgressive practices across the categories of sex, gender and sexuality. In this Fellowship, I aim to maximise dissemination by leveraging the creative potentials of my visual methodology in my publications and activities, using photography to stimulate new ways of perceiving and articulating gendered and sexual bodies within and beyond academia.I aim to achieve maximum impact to bring about visible socio-cultural shifts in attitudes towards LGBT+ dancers by broadening my audience base beyond academia. I draw on multiple publication mediums and on teaching to reach out to diverse audience. My journal article is targeted at academics to inspire new lines of inquiry for dance studies which celebrates diversity and differences. I will teach 2 hours per week in the autumn to widen my outreach in academia. Beyond academia, I will adapt a monograph from my PhD, present at two conferences and create a website to bring issues of gender and sexuality to the forefront of ballroom dance education and draw attention to alternative dance practices. I will achieve community impact through hosting a photography exhibition with dance workshop in the University of Kent, titled "Reimagining Ballroom Dancing", where I share insights on the UK's LGBT+ dance culture and create opportunities beyond London for inclusive participation in ballroom dancing.I aim to effectively draw on SCD to engage with non-academics, by incorporating up-to-date developments of SCD into my PhD work. I will carry out further limited research (16.7% of the programme) to explore how shifts in SCD's media representation of same-sex dancers relates to the lived experiences of LGBT+ dancers examined in my PhD. This work extends impact by informing LGBT+ media representations in British reality TV programmes such as Dancing with the Stars and Dancing on Ice. I sustain impact achieved in this Fellowship through an ESRC New Investigator Grant to expand my focus to include differently-abled and gender non-conforming dancers.

人们在电视、电影和新闻媒体上看到的东西会对他们在日常生活中如何理解世界、与他人互动和感同身受产生重大影响。在体育和休闲娱乐方面，媒体的表现可以影响人们如何对待LGBT+个人及其相应的休闲机会。2021年，我们见证了英国LGBT+交谊舞社群的巨大进步，Strictly Come Dancing（SCD）改变了其18年的传统形式，在2020年首次出现男女配对后，将男女专业/业余舞蹈组合纳入其阵容。SCD的转变伴随着越来越多的媒体通过同性恋身份的舞者和英国的LGBT+交际舞文化的描绘来表现LGBT+的生活和关系。我参加这个奖学金的主要目的是利用SCD激发的这种活跃的媒体话语，最大限度地发挥我对英国LGBT+交际舞文化的博士研究的影响和传播，从而提高LGBT+舞者在舞伴舞蹈中的知名度和接受度。尽管同性舞蹈的媒体知名度越来越高，例如SCD的2021年决赛，以及它对解构主流舞蹈中占主导地位的性别话语的可能性，这个主题仍然没有得到充分的研究。我的博士学位是一项开创性的工作，通过一个奇怪的女权主义透镜来研究LGBT+舞者在竞争性同性舞厅舞蹈中的生活经历。我的博士学位的新奇在于我的视觉方法，包括用视觉艺术品进行照片启发（Tillmann-Healy，2001; Boylorn，2008）和作为摄影师和舞者的自我民族志，提出一个社会学框架，用于检查跳舞的身体作为材料和话语，关系和阻力。我表明，我们不能设想新的可能性，通过相同的heteronormative模式，促进包容性的舞蹈表达，提出了一个分析框架，认识到跨性别，性别和性的类别的越轨行为的多样性。在这个奖学金，我的目标是最大限度地利用我的视觉方法在我的出版物和活动的创造性潜力传播，使用摄影来激发新的方式感知和阐明性别和性的身体内外学术界.我的目标是实现最大的影响，带来明显的社会文化转变的态度对LGBT+舞者通过扩大我的观众群超越学术界.我利用多种出版媒介和教学来接触不同的受众。我的期刊文章是针对学术界，以激发新的舞蹈研究，庆祝多样性和差异的调查路线。我将在秋季每周教两个小时，以扩大我在学术界的影响力。在学术界之外，我将改编我的博士论文，出席两次会议，并创建一个网站，将性别和性问题带到交谊舞教育的最前沿，并引起人们对另类舞蹈实践的关注。我将通过在肯特大学举办一个名为“重新想象交际舞”的摄影展和舞蹈工作坊来实现社区影响力，在那里我分享了对英国LGBT+舞蹈文化的见解，并创造了超越伦敦的包容性参与交际舞的机会。我的目标是通过将SCD的最新发展融入我的博士工作中，有效地利用SCD与非学术界进行交流。我将进行进一步的有限研究（计划的16.7%），以探索SCD的同性舞者的媒体代表性的变化如何与LGBT+舞者在我的博士研究的生活经历有关。这项工作通过在英国真人秀电视节目中告知LGBT+媒体代表，如与星共舞和冰上舞蹈，扩大了影响。我通过ESRC新的研究员赠款维持在这个奖学金取得的影响，以扩大我的重点，包括不同的能力和性别不符合舞者。
