Description du projet
Découvrir les récits cachés dans l’historiographie LGBTQ
Dans la dynamique histoire des mouvements LGBTQ contemporains, le passé est un fil conducteur essentiel. Ces mouvements s’appuient sur l’histoire pour construire et préserver leur identité, mais ils sont également confrontés à des questions complexes. Avec le soutien du programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, le projet HomoClassicisms se concentrera sur les mouvements LGBTQ en Grèce, au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis, en explorant le rôle de l’antiquité classique dans l’élaboration des récits LGBTQ. En utilisant des méthodologies qualitatives innovantes dans une perspective épistémologique du Sud, le projet examine si ces mouvements perpétuent involontairement des récits racialisés. Adoptant une approche intersectionnelle et interdisciplinaire, HomoClassicisms cartographiera et rectifiera les omissions historiques dans l’histoire des personnes LGBTQ. Le projet offrira également des résultats politiques tangibles, garantissant une compréhension plus complète et démocratique de l’histoire des personnes LGBTQ.
Objectif
Contemporary lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) movements actively engage with the past. Through archival selection and historiographical accounts, they construct, interpret, and preserve their collective identities. The proposed project, HomoClassicisms, focuses specifically on the cases of LGBTQ movements in Greece, the UK, and the US. Its research goal is to address, through the use of innovative qualitative methodologies from a Southern epistemological perspective, the position of classical antiquity in LGBTQ historiographies. The project aims to investigate whether the movements might become complicit with racialised narratives of identity formation in their articulation of particular pasts. Embracing a bottom-up approach, the project adopts an intersectional and interdisciplinary perspective to map, understand, and critically analyse longstanding omissions in LGBTQ historiographies. Indeed, this is a timely and urgent undertaking. In light of transnational migration and demographic dynamics currently challenging Western societies, investigating who is included and who is excluded within LGBTQ historiographies becomes a critical project. The project thus firmly aligns with the fourth key strategic orientation of Horizon Europe (HE): Creating a more resilient, inclusive and democratic European society. The project’s publication plan includes four peer-reviewed articles. Its extensive impact involves engaged modes of dissemination with international LGBTQ communities, archivists, policymakers, and the general public, following HE’s paradigm change from an activity-driven to an impact-driven approach. The fellow will acquire the necessary skills and research mentoring to analyse intersectional inequalities in relation to politicised uses of the past in a transnational context and to inform, enrich, and challenge theoretical debates originating from Global North over LGBTQ historiography, providing policy-relevant results.
