Narrativas de nuevas masculinidades en personas con orientación sexual diversa de la ciudad de Villavicencio

Abstract

The present study aims to know the narratives that people with diverse sexual orientation construct in light of the new masculinities in the city of Villavicencio. This research is based on qualitative methodology and is oriented on the hermeneutic method; using conversational events as a strategy, in this way the research brings together four participants who identify themselves as people with diverse sexual orientation (including gays, lesbians and bisexuals). The categories proposed for this research were gender, masculinity, power relations and new masculinities. On the other hand, the results of the study concluded that the participants determined gender is directly connected to their sexual orientation and corporality, in this sense, they recognize that although they have hegemonic discourses established in their way of understanding the world at the root of the education received. Because of their parents, the media and the school, they have always sought to detach themselves from these patriarchal models and have new visions of their own construction of gender and performance that detach themselves from binary categories. In relation to the new masculinities, the participants narrate that masculinity as it is understood today has had a process of transformation and resignation since it expresses that corporality has diffuse limits, therefore, they conceive the body as a world of possibilities to achieve expression of their gender according to their educational, religious, cultural and personal ideals. They also state that a man can oscillate between the feminine and the masculine without the need to remain static in any of them.
