Abstract

ABSTRACT This work focuses on the effects of dominant concepts of parenthood and gender on gay men who became parents through surrogacy. Based on the analysis of 39 in-depth, semistructured interviews with gay fathers, we show that gay fathers' parenting experiences are shaped by the heteronormative discourse on parenthood, yet they resist its gendered attributes. Gay parenthood is revealed as confronting the social concepts on parenthood, in particular on motherhood, and their socio-political meanings. The tension between the social concepts and the participants' perceptionsy leads them to confront their social environment and to construct alternative discourse to the social discourse of parenthood and gender, suggesting that gay parenthood subverts under existing concepts of parenthood, gender and their meanings within the state.

在社会和个人之间:以色列男同性恋父母，代孕和亲子关系和性别的社会政治概念

摘要:本研究的重点是父母身份和性别的主流观念对通过代孕成为父母的男同性恋者的影响。基于对39位同性恋父亲的深度、半结构化访谈的分析，我们发现同性恋父亲的育儿经历受到异性恋育儿话语的塑造，但他们抵制其性别属性。同性恋亲子关系是对亲子关系的社会观念，特别是母性观念及其社会政治意义的挑战。社会概念与参与者感知之间的张力导致他们直面所处的社会环境，构建亲子关系和性别社会话语的替代话语，表明同性恋亲子关系颠覆了现有的亲子关系、性别概念及其在国家内的意义。
