Abstract

Starting in the summer of 2019, a series of events saw queer Palestinians taking to the streets and appearing in mainstream Palestinian culture and media at an unprecedented scale. Drawing on 53 interviews with queer Palestinians, activists and nonactivists, this article critiques the queer organizing around these events as it appears in the two largest queer Palestinian organizations alQaws and Aswat. Because most research and activism on queer life in Palestine centers either the decolonial discourse against "homonationalism" within the Israeli nation-state expansion project and the Palestinian queer opposition to it, or the anti-orientalist critique of Western interventionist internationalization of queer rights, participants' opinions and lived experiences challenge the scholarly and grassroot organizing tendency to ignore queer lives and voices who believe that targeting the sociocultural aspects of their queerness is an equally viable strategy for creating change. In doing so, this article sheds a new light on the clashing sociocultural and decolonial approaches-whereby clash refers to the debates regarding the ideologies and practices Palestinian activists and scholars find most ideal for their queer liberation.

非殖民因素与社会文化因素的冲突:利用 2019 年夏季事件重新审视巴勒斯坦同性恋解放。
从 2019 年夏天开始,一系列活动见证了巴勒斯坦同性恋者走上街头,并以前所未有的规模出现在巴勒斯坦主流文化和媒体中。本文通过对巴勒斯坦同性恋者、活动家和非活动家的 53 次访谈,对围绕这些事件的同性恋组织活动进行了批判,这些活动出现在两个最大的巴勒斯坦同性恋组织 alQaws 和 Aswat 中。由于大多数关于巴勒斯坦同性恋生活的研究和活动都集中在反对以色列民族国家扩张项目中的 "同族主义 "和巴勒斯坦同性恋反对这一项目中的非殖民主义论述,或者是对西方干预同性恋权利国际化的反东方主义批判,参与者的观点和生活经历对学术界和基层组织忽视同性恋生活和声音的倾向提出了挑战,他们认为,针对其同性恋的社会文化方面同样是创造变革的可行策略。因此,这篇文章为社会文化和非殖民化方法的冲突提供了新的视角--这里的冲突指的是关于巴勒斯坦活动家和学者认为对其同性恋解放最为理想的意识形态和实践的争论。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
