Media, visibility and sexual identity among gay men with a migration background  / Alexander Dhoest.

Sexualities, 19 (2016) 4 (jun), p. 412-431
source: Sexualities year: 19 (2016) 4 (jun), p. 412-431
resume: While media are generally acknowledged to play an important role in processes of sexual identity formation among sexual minorities, little is known about migrant audiences. This article explores the roles of mass and online media for a group of men with a migration background living in Belgium. Based on in-depth interviews, their sexual self-identification is discussed, as is their use and assessment of media as a source of representations, information and connections. The participants in this project turn out to primarily identify as gay, and they predominantly rely on western representations and information in their quest for identity models.

Identifications, communities and connections: Intersections of ethnicity and sexuality among diasporic gay men  / Alexander Dhoest.

Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power, 23 (2016) 2 (march), p. 174-192
source: Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power year: 23 (2016) 2 (march), p. 174-192
resume: This paper explores sexual and ethnic-cultural identifications among first and second generation gay migrants in Belgium. Based on a theoretical framework highlighting the multiple, fluid and intersectional nature of identifications, 29 indepth interviews are used to study self-identifications and connections to different communities. Drawing on a diverse sample, three clusters of participants can be distinguished: second generation migrants, who were born in Belgium; sexual refugees, who escaped to Belgium; and voluntary migrants, who chose to move to Belgium. Ethnic-cultural and sexual identifications interact and vary between these groups of participants, but also within them as they intersect with other social positionings such as class, gender and race.

Into the Groove. Exploring lesbian and gay musical preferences and 'LGB music' in Flanders  / Alexander Dhoest, Robbe Herreman, Marion Wasserbauer.

Observatorio (OBS*) Journal, 9 (2015) 2, p. 207-223
source: Observatorio (OBS*) Journal year: 9 (2015) 2 , p. 207-223
resume: The importance of music and music tastes in lesbian and gay cultures is widely documented, but empirical research on individual lesbian and gay musical preferences is rare and even fully absent in Flanders (Belgium). To explore this field, we used an online quantitative survey (N= 761) followed up by 60 indepth interviews, asking questions about musical preferences. Both the survey and the interviews disclose strongly gender-specific patterns of musical preference, the women preferring rock and alternative genres while the men tend to prefer pop and more commercial genres. while the sexual orientation of the musician is not very relevant to most participants, they do identify certain kinds of music that are strongly associated with lesbian and/or gay culture, often based on the play with codes of masculinity and femininity. Our findings confirm the popularity of certain types of music among Flemish lesbians and gay men, for whom it constitutes a shared source of identification, as it does across many Western countries. The qualitative data, in particular, allow us to better understand how such music plays a role in constituting and supporting lesbian and gay cultures and communities

Revisiting reception research : Case study on diasporic LGBTQs  / Alexander Dhoest.

Participations : Journal of Audience and Reception Studies, 12 (2015) 2 (nov), p. 78-97
source: Participations : Journal of Audience and Reception Studies year: 12 (2015) 2 (nov), p. 78-97
resume: This article reflects on the heritage of reception research, considering its continued relevance today. After a brief retrospective overview of early reception research, a project about diasporic LGBTQ media uses is used to explore to what degree early reception research continues to be useful. Continuities and changes are discussed, focusing in particular on their methodological implications. Considering a specific group allows us to discuss the ways in which media connect to the multidimensional social contexts of everyday life and on their significance in relation to issues of identity formation at the intersection of race and ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality. Despite some necessary adjustments in the context of media multiplicity, it proves useful to revive the 'ethnographic' drive in reception research, aiming for a holistic understanding of media experiences. At the same time, the project at hand questions models of audience activity, freedom and resistance as expressed in early reception research.

LGBTQs, Media and Culture in Europe  / 

Edited by Alexander Dhoest, Lukasz Szulc, Bart Eeckhout ; Foreword by Richard Dyer.New York, NY [etc.]: Routledge, cop. 2017 - xiii, 303 p.: ill.

resume: Media matter, particularly to social minorities like lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. Rather than one homogenised idea of the 'global gay', what we find today is a range of historically and culturally specific expressions of gender and sexuality, which are reflected and explored across an ever increasing range of media outlets. This collection zooms in on a number of facets of this kaleidoscope, each chapter discussing the intersection of a particular European context and a particular medium with its affordances and limitations. While traditional mass media form the starting point of this book, the primary focus is on digital media such as blogs, social media and online dating sites. All contributions are based on recent, original empirical research, using a plethora of qualitative methods to offer a holistic view on the ways media matter to particular LGBTQ individuals and communities. Together the chapters cover the diversity of European countries and regions, of LGBTQ communities, and of the contemporary media ecology. Resisting the urge to extrapolate, they argue for specificity, contextualisation and a provincialized understanding of the connections between media, culture, gender and sexuality.

The internet and sexual identity formation : Comparing Internet use before and after coming out  / Lukasz Szulc and Alexander Dhoest.

Communications, 38 (2013) 4, p. 347-365
source: Communications year: 38 (2013) 4 , p. 347-365
resume: Even in its early years, the Internet was recognized as a medium with great potential for lesbians, gay men, and bisexual individuals (LGBs), especially for LGB youths struggling with their sexual identity. Yet, Internet research related to coming out tends to focus on particular cases or Internet use before and during coming out. Consequently, as such research emphasizes the opportunities and positive aspects of the Internet for LGBs, it may lead to an overestimation of the importance of sexual identity in terms of LGB Internet use. Therefore, in this paper we explore the LGB-specific Internet use of a broad crosssection of the LGB community both before or during and after coming out. Our quantitative online survey and in-depth interviews show that LGBs use the Internet for LGB-oriented purposes less after coming out than before or during it. The results suggest that sexual identity becomes a less salient topic in terms of everyday Internet use after coming out.

Navigating Online Selves : Social, Cultural, and Material Contexts of Social Media Use by Diasporic Gay Men  / Alexander Dhoest, Lukasz Szulc.

Social Media & Society, 2 (2016) 4 (oct), p. 1-10
source: Social Media & Society year: 2 (2016) 4 (oct), p. 1-10
resume: Social media not only create new opportunities but also pose new challenges for the ways people navigate their online selves. As noted by boyd, social media are characterized by unique dynamics such as collapsed contexts, implying that one's distinct offline social worlds meet online. This creates particular challenges for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people, at least those who find it crucial to maintain distinct contexts in which they disclose or conceal their gender and/or sexual selves. However, the existing scholarship on social media use by LGBTQs is predominantly anchored in English-language Western contexts and tends to lose sight of the cultural specificities of Internet use. Therefore, in this article, we build on the scholarship to further investigate the role of context for disclosing or concealing gender and/or sexual selves online. More specifically, we ask, "How do social, cultural, and material contexts affect the ways LGBTQs navigate their selves on social media?" To investigate this question, we analyze in-depth face-to-face interviews with gay men who themselves, or whose parents, migrated to Belgium. Because their migration background forces them to negotiate different social, cultural, and material contexts, our focus on diasporic gay men helps to bring out the issue of context in social media use.

Onderzoek naar ervaringen van LGBTQ's op het kruispunt van herkomst en seksuele identiteit  / Marion Wasserbauer, Alexander Dhoest.

resume: Het uitgangspunt van de onderzoeksopdracht was de vaststelling van een gebrek aan aanvaarding van holebiseksualiteit bij bepaalde buitenlandse herkomstgroepen. Dit bleek al uit eerder Vlaams onderzoek (bv. Hooghe et al. 2010, Hooghe & Meeusen 2012), en werd recenter bevestigd in de survey Samenleven in Diversiteit (SID) die een lagere aanvaarding van holebiseksualiteit vaststelde bij respondenten met een Marokkaanse, Turkse en Congolese herkomst in vergelijking met een Belgische en (in mindere mate) Poolse en Roemeense herkomst (Stuyck et al., 2018). Die werd gemeten op drie dimensies: vinden dat homoseksuele mannen en lesbische vrouwen hun leven moeten kunnen leiden zoals ze dat willen; het goed vinden dat twee personen van hetzelfde geslacht met elkaar mogen trouwen; en het OK vinden als een eigen kind een partner heeft van hetzelfde geslacht. Aansluitend bij deze vaststelling, was het doel van dit onderzoek bij te dragen aan de aanvaarding van holebiseksualiteit binnen bepaalde herkomstgroepen, met name de Marokkaanse, Turkse en Congolese gemeenschap in Vlaanderen. Uitgaand van de SID-survey, was de opdracht de resultaten verder uit te diepen en in een vergelijkend perspectief plaatsen. In een eerste fase werd daartoe een uitgebreid literatuuronderzoek uitgevoerd, waarbij verdere Vlaamse en buitenlandse inzichten rond de aanvaarding van holebiseksualiteit bij buitenlandse herkomstgroepen verzameld werden. Daarbij werd ook vanuit het denkkader van 'intersectionaliteit' of kruispuntdenken nagegaan welke andere sociale identiteiten en posities een rol spelen in deze aanvaarding, naast etnisch-culturele achtergrond. Vlaamse, Belgische in internationale best practices werden eveneens in kaart gebracht. In een tweede fase werd via diepte-interviews met LGBTQ's uit de drie betrokken herkomstgroepen (Marokkanen, Turken en Congolezen) nagegaan welke problemen zij ervaren maar ook welke oplossingen zij zien. Aansluitend bij de onderzoeksopdracht focusten we daarbij op de attitudes en meningen ten aanzien van holebiseksualiteit die zij ervaren, met aandacht voor positieve en negatieve ervaringen binnen de eigen familie en in de ruimere gemeenschap. Ook bespraken we welke rol zij weggelegd zien voor beleid en middenveldorganisaties. Ter voorbereiding maar ook ter interpretatie van deze interviews namen we ook een aantal expertinterviews af.
