How do bisexual men across the UK embody bisexual identities in changing social settings?

双性恋男性的研究在很大程度上是双性恋学术研究不足的。在一个偏爱同性恋和异性恋的社会里，双性恋者往往很难获得认可，而双性恋男性也必须与这一点和对男子气概的期望作斗争。虽然有关于男同性恋、女同性恋和异性恋外表的描述(通常是不准确的)，但双性恋者就不能这样说了。公开露面对于形成社区、分享经验和摆脱压迫是至关重要的。双性恋社区领导的新形式的代表开始浮出水面，比如TikTok上的Bitok，但这些没有/不可能具有广泛的代表性。随着双性恋表达的新形式变得越来越明显，英国各地的双性恋男性如何理解和体现双性恋身份？通过手机访谈的微观民族志方法，这项研究将与来自英国各地的35名双性恋男性合作完成，以了解他们如何塑造他们对双性恋是什么、感觉是什么以及看起来是什么的视觉表达。它将分析双性恋男性是如何产生双性恋的，他们如何着装，他们穿什么配饰来体现他们对双性恋的看法，不断变化的社会环境如何迫使双性恋可视化被(重新)谈判，以及情感反应被证实产生。在这样做的过程中，我将寻求与这些人合作，探讨在刻板印象和本质主义类别之外塑造双性恋可见度的新可能性。最终，它将理解双性恋男性是如何被迫成为自己性别身份的创造者的，在文化中，双性恋是看不见的。这项研究将探索双性恋男性通过改变社会环境来体现他们双性恋的经历。中心目标是了解他们如何在视觉上体现自己的性别身份，以及由此产生的情感和情感反应。因此，这项研究的指导问题是：-来自英国不同地区的自我认同的双性恋男性是如何在视觉上表达他们的双性恋的？-来自英国不同地区的自我认同的双性恋男性之前是如何在理解他们的性别认同的过程中谈判和重新谈判他们的双性恋化身的？-来自英国不同地区的自我认同的双性恋男性使用什么配件或视觉线索来实现他们的双性恋？

Bisexual men have been largely under-researched in bisexual scholarship. Bisexual peopleoften struggle to feel validated in a society that favours the sexual binaries - homosexualityand heterosexuality - and bisexual men must contend with this and expectations ofmasculinity too. While there are (often inaccurate) representations of gay, lesbian andheterosexual appearances, the same cannot be said for bisexual people. Being visible is vitalto forming communities, sharing experiences, and existing away from oppression. Newforms of bisexual community-led representations are beginning to surface such as BiTok onTikTok, but these are not/cannot be widely representative. As new forms of bisexualexpression become more visible, how do bisexual men across the UK understand andembody bisexual identities? Through the micro-ethnographic method of mobile interviews,this study will be done in collaboration with thirty-five bisexual men from a variety oflocations across the UK to understand how they shape their visual expressions of whatbisexuality is, what it feels like, and what it looks like. It will analyse how bisexuality isbrought into being by bisexual men, how they dress and what accessories they wear toembody their idea of bisexuality, how changing social settings force bisexual visualisationsto be (re)negotiated, and the affectual responses being (in)validated produces. In doing so, Iwill seek to collaboratively inquire with these men about new possibilities of shapingbisexual visibility outside of stereotypes and essentialist categories. Ultimately, it willunderstand how bisexual men are forced to be the makers of their own sexual identities, ina culture where to be bisexual is to be invisible.This research will explore bisexual men's experiences as they embody their bisexualitythrough changing social settings. The central aim is to understand how they embody theirsexual identity visually and the affectual, emotional response this creates. Therefore,questions that will guide this research are:- How do self-identifying bisexual men from different locations in the UK express theirbisexuality visually?- How have self-identifying bisexual men from different locations in the UK previouslynegotiated and renegotiated their bisexual embodiment in the process ofunderstanding their sexual identity?- What accessories or visual cues are self-identifying bisexual men from differentlocations in the UK using to bring their bisexuality into being?
