Title: | Changing Landscapes of Heteronormativity: The Regulation and Normalization of Same-Sex Sexualities in Europe | Authors: | Roseneil, Sasha Crowhurst, Isabel Hellesund, Tone Santos, Ana Cristina Stoilova, Mariya |
Issue Date: | 1-Jun-2013 | Publisher: | Oxford University Press | Serial title, monograph or event: | Social Politics: International Studies in Gender, State & Society | Volume: | 20 | Issue: | 2 | Abstract: | This paper explores transformations in institutional norms about same-sex sexualities across four European countries: Bulgaria, Norway, Portugal and the UK. Focusing on the period from the late 1960s to the present day, it examines both endogenous, path-dependent nationally specific factors at work in the changing regulation of same-sex sexualities, particularly the campaigns of lesbian and gay movements, and exogenous influences exerted by processes of Europeanization and transnationalization. Three processes of normative change are discussed: the legitimation of same-sex sexual practice; the protection of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people; and the recognition of intimate relationships. We argue that there has been a radical shift in the landscape of heteronormativity in Europe, with the emergence of a new European norm of “homotolerance” and the progressive normalization of same-sex sexualities: a process of “homonormalization”. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/79656 | ISSN: | 1072-4745 1468-2893 |
