How can a therapeutic approach inform an autoethnographic novel exploring the effects of anti-gay legislation in 80s/90s Brighton?

我提议的项目是一个以研究为基础的人种学博士论文(小说和30,000字的论文)，在政府引入臭名昭著的反同性恋法案第28条后，我在20世纪80年代/90年代的布莱顿调查了同性恋恐惧症对我和LGBT社区的影响，声明地方当局‘不得故意促进同性恋或发布旨在促进同性恋的材料’(地方政府法案，1988)。这项立法以及随之而来的对LGBT社区的迫害导致恐同攻击以毁灭性的方式进入主流，布莱顿的LGBT社区做出了前所未有的反应(布莱顿我们的故事档案)。利用当地档案馆和SELF作为档案馆，我追踪到当地LGBT社区(我参与了)的出现，他们坚定地要求改变和接受(同上)。当与个人和集体同性恋恐惧症相关的创伤进行心理治疗时，集体成熟和幸福就会出现。(Fman and Gila 1997，第195-199页；Todd 2016，第76页)。在当前的全球危机中，我的工作与LGBT社区相关：LGBT人群在任何地方都面临歧视(石墙网站)。凭借我作为一名获奖小说家、记者和心理治疗顾问的丰富经验，我处于独特的地位，可以提供跨学科(心理治疗/自我人种学/酷儿)叙事，抵抗的蓝图，以及对相关的基于社区的抵抗和毅力战略的前瞻性探索。这项研究由两部分组成：1)一部自我民族志小说；2)一篇学位论文。首先，我以布莱顿为基础的自传民族志小说将通过对档案材料(布莱顿的历史资源中心Keep)的调查而产生，讲述我自己通过英国历史上一个有毒时刻的旅程。这个项目超越了对自我民族志的批评，认为它是向内看的，以创建一种新的档案和研究为基础的、以治疗为导向的自我民族志写作方法。论文(30,000字)：包括研究结果，我的自我人种学过程，并为今天被压迫的少数民族制定切实的抵抗战略。

My proposed project is a research-based autoethnographic PhD (novel and 30,000 word dissertation) investigating the effects of homophobia on myself and LGBT+ communities in 1980s/90s Brighton after the government introduced the notoriously anti-gay Section 28 of the Local Government Act, stating that a local authority 'shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality' (Local Government Act, 1988).This legislation and consequent persecution of LGBT+ communities caused homophobic attacks to come into the mainstream in devastating ways, and LGBT+ communities in Brighton responded as never before (Brighton Ourstory Archive). Using local archives and self as archive, I trace the emergence of a local LGBT+ community of resistance (in which I participated), that assertively demanded change and acceptance (ibid). When coupled with the psychotherapeutic working-through of personal and collective homophobia-related trauma, collective maturity and wellbeing can emerge. (Firman and Gila 1997, pp.195 -199; Todd 2016, p.76). My work has relevance for LGBT+ communities in a current global crisis: 'LGBT people face discrimination everywhere' (Stonewall website). Drawing on my considerable experience as an award-winning novelist, journalist and psychotherapeutic counsellor, I am uniquely placed to offer a transdisciplinary (psychotherapeutic / autoethnographic / queer) narrative, a blueprint for resistance, as well as a forward-looking exploration of relevant community-based strategies of resistance and perseverance. The proposed study consists of two components: 1) An autoethnographic novel; 2) a dissertation. Firstly, my Brighton-based autoethnographic novel will emerge from an investigation of archival material (The Keep, Brighton's historical resource centre), narrating my own journey through a toxic moment in UK history. This project moves beyond criticisms of autoethnography as inward-looking to create a new methodology of archival and research-based, therapeutically orientated autoethnographic writing. Dissertation (30,000 words): covers research findings, my autoethnographic process, and theorises tangible, practical strategies of resistance for today's oppressed minorities.
