Gender fields. The social organisation of gender identity

Aboim, Sofia; Vasconcelos, Pedro

Exploring gender through the lens of field theory, Gender Fields proposes a new framework for understanding the social organisation of gender identity. In conversation with Pierre Bourdieu's field theory, the book conceptualises under-theorised situated dimensions of gender, bridging the gap between macro and micro theories of gender. Drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted over five years in several countries...



Decolonising sexual and gender rights: situated citizenship and regimes of viol...

Aboim, Sofia

In the face of consistent patterns of homophobic and transphobic violence across the globe, this chapter proposes a theoretical lens that combines postcolonial and decolonial theorisations with notions of situated intersectionality. It argues that further efforts are needed to defend a situated model suitable for examining localised regimes of sexual and gendered violence that impede citizenship. This work of c...


Os nomes do género: percursos de construção identitária de pessoas transgénero

Aboim, Sofia; Fonseca, António; Godinho, Filipa

Nos últimos anos a preocupação com a diversidade de género alimentada pela expansão rápida dos estudos transgénero tem sido marcante. Ao invés de uma ordem de género onde apenas homens e mulheres existem por determinação biológica de nascimento, a dissociação entre corpo sexuado e identidade de género abriu múltiplas possibilidades de construção do género. As narrativas de sujeitos agenciais, ainda que socialme...


Colonial Senses. Colonial Sensorial Regimes and the Anti-Colonial Resistance

Silva, Filipe Carreira da; Aboim, Sofia

The colonial experience, a complex tapestry of power dynamics, cultural intersections and historical narratives, has left an indelible mark on the world. It is a phenomenon that transcends mere discourses and categories of identity, delving deep into the realm of the senses. The senses, as the channels through which individuals interact with and comprehend the world, play a crucial role in shaping both colonial...


‘What’s in a name?’ The discursive construction of gender identity over time

Aboim, Sofia

In recent years the concern with gender diversity fuelled by the rapid expansion of transgender studies highlighted multiple possibilities for constructing gender through discursive enactments. As the self- declaration of gender identity gained legitimacy, personal narratives became increasingly relevant. Verbalizing gender identity is instrumental for extending the very notion of gender as belonging to the dom...


Gender (trans)formations in Europe and beyond: Trans lives and politics from a ...

Aboim, Sofia; Vasconcelos, Pedro

Focusing on trans and gender-diverse people in five European countries (Portugal, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Sweden), the Transrights research addressed one of the most challenging transformations of the institutional order of gender that thus far still reproduces the normative opposition between male and female. Rather than proposing a descriptive monograph, our angle of analysis emphasize...


Migration trajectories in Southern Africa: The masculinity fix between Maputo a...

Aboim, Sofia

Based on the premise that masculinity is constructed within geographically and historically located social spaces, this chapter draws on forty biographical interviews with Mozambican men carried out between 2005 to 2014. Focussing on the life stories of Mozambican men who migrated to South Africa from the 1960s onwards, the chapter seeks to contribute to expanding the theoretical and methodological conversation...

Gouveia, Rita; Aboim, Sofia; Silva, Filipe Carreira da; Tulumello, Simone


Masculinities in the Wasteland: (Post)colonial Capitalism in the West, China, a...

Aboim, Sofia; Machado, Mabel; Zhang, Ling Eleanor

In this chapter, we argue that decolonial and postcolonial critical theorization matter for critically analysing masculinities in organizations. In close conversation with the decolonial and the postcolonial critique of capitalism, we examine how masculinity and masculine power are linked to different forms of epistemic and organizational violence in different geographic locations. In this way, we claim that un...
