Το λοατκι+ κίνημα στην Ελλάδα της Μεταπολίτευσης υπό το πρίσμα της διαθεματικότητας
Translated title:
The lgbtqi+ movement in Post-Dictatorship Greece through the lens of intersectionality
Summary:
The master’s thesis entitled “The lgbtqi+ movement in Post-Dictatorship Greece through the lens of intersectionality” sets as a goal to outline an essential period in the history of contemporary Greece examining the demands of social movements concerning the issues of gender identity and sexual orientation. The main theoretical tool for the purposes of the research constitutes the intersectionality theory, a valuable concept from the tradition of black feminism and critical race theory. Furthermore, it was useful to map several aspects of the social situation, the public life and the political parties, as a context in order the most important moments of the lgbt(qi+) movement of this era to be cited. Five interviews were conducted with activists that were politically active during the decades of ‘70s and ‘80s and the results of the qualitative research were presented through thematic analysis. Finally, an attempt was made to answer a series of related subquestions, as well as the central research question of the thesis, if the lgbt(qi+) movement during the period that we are examining was indeed intersectional.
