Adolescentes gays y cultura visual: experiencias, usos y contextos. Implicaciones educativas

Abstract

Esta tesis doctoral tiene como objeto de estudio los procesos de auto-identificación y primeras socializaciones como gays de doce chicos (de entre los 14 y los 19 años) en relación a sus experiencias estéticas y usos de los medios de comunicación e Internet en tanto que cultura visual. Además ofrece una comparativa intergeneracional sobre las mismas cuestiones al contar con los recuerdos de juventud de cuatro adultos igualmente gays (de entre 44 y 49 años). Cada uno de los participantes fue entrevistado individualmente, siguiendo un mismo guión semi-estructuradado en encuentros que tuvieron una duración media de hora y veinte minutos y que se llevaron a cabo a lo largo del año 2013 en Pamplona (Navarra). Teniendo en cuenta las contribuciones del feminismo post-estructuralista, el estudio parte de subrayar que los primeros indicios que tuvieron los adolescentes de la existencia de la homosexualidad fueron por cuestiones de género y en relación a la injuria/estigma inter/trans/homófoba – en muchos casos en forma de insultos dirigidos a ellos mismos en espacios escolares. Así los recuerdos de sus recientes infancias y primeros años de adolescencia nos informan de cómo aprendieron a rechazar y temer a la homosexualidad mientras que, eventualmente y en gran parte gracias a los medios de comunicación e Internet, cada uno de ellos fue entendiendo que auto-identificarse y socializarse como gay era una posibilidad legítima. Durante aquellos procesos los adolescentes vivieron experiencias de lo que se denomina gay-media-affiliations. Algunas de éstas eran de identificación positiva con personajes de ficción y figuras populares abiertamente gays. Otras estuvieron marcadas por distintos grados de distanciamiento, especialmente hacia aquellos representados/percibidos como marginales – lo que solía depender de la edad de los adolescentes y de las características de sus contextos de recepción. Por otro lado también describieron formas de evasión a través del ocio y las redes sociales, normalmente en periodos críticos y en torno al fenómeno fan de las divas, que igualmente les ofrecieron afiliaciones anónimas con otros gays, o posibles gays. Respecto a las implicaciones educativas de estos resultados la presente tesis finaliza ofreciendo cinco focos de interés y sensibilidad que buscan conciliar los discursos anti-bullying y a favor de la inclusión, y los que llaman a la transformación queer de la escuela como institución.

This PhD dissertation studies the processes of self-identifications and first socializations of twelve gay young men (aged between 14 and 19 years old) in relation to their aesthetic experiences and uses of the media and the Internet, insofar as they are forms of visual culture. Moreover, a intergenerational comparison regarding the same issues is provided by means of examing the youth memories of four gay men (aged between 44 and 49 years old). Each participant was individually interviewed following a semi-structured script in meetings that had a median length of an hour and twenty minutes and took place during the year 2013 in Pamplona (Spain). Taking into account the contributions of post-structural feminism, this study appraises how the teenagers’ first clues of homosexuality were related with gender issues and what this dissertation refers to as the inter/trans/homophobic injury/stigma – in many cases in the form of names assigned to them by their peers in school settings. Hence the recollections of their recent childhoods and early years of adolescence inform us of how they had learned to reject and fear homosexuality, whereas eventually and in large part via the media and the Internet, each one of them understood that to self-identify and socialize as gay was a legitimate possibility. During those processes, the teenagers experienced different gay-media-affiliations. Many of them were positive identifications with openly gay male characters and celebrities. Others were characterized by various levels of disgust, especially towards those depictured/perceived as outcasts – which partly depended on the teenagers’ age and their contexts of reception. They also described diverse escape attempts through entertainment and social media, usually in critical periods and in relation to diva fandom. The former experiences were also related to anonymous affiliations with other gay men, or with the potential for such affiliations. Concerning the educational implications of these findings, this dissertation closes by presenting five focuses of interest and sensibility that aim to ease the current debates between the anti-bullying and inclusion discourses and the calls for a queer transformation of schools.
