Le mouvement gai, lesbien, bisexuel et transgenre (glbt) se divise ainsi sur la question de savoir si son militantisme doit exclusivement se porter sur des enjeux d’orientation sexuelle. Cela rejoint la question theorique du rapport entre identite collective et objectifs politiques : l’identite est-elle conditionnee par les objectifs, ou est-ce l’inverse ? Les prises de position divergentes des organisations glbt sur la guerre d’Irak permettent de conclure que l’identite n’est pas donnee a priori — c’est-a-dire qu’elle n’est pas a priori apolitique pour n’etre politisee que par necessite – mais que c’est un vecteur de sens politique, qui ne definit pas la posture politique, mais la vehicule et en est le signifiant. Ainsi, la ligne de fracture politique pertinente dans le mouvement glbt ne correspond pas aux divisions traditionnelles universalisme–differentialisme ou integrationnisme–separatisme, mais a la distinction entre des conceptions fixes et fluides de l’identite collective.","PeriodicalId":422366,"journal":{"name":"Transatlantica : Revue d'Études Américaines","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122040739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
