abstract |
This thesis considers the emerging character of asexual activism in Western societies.
It asks what the key factors are impacting on triggering, mobilisation, organisation
and performance that motivate asexual-identified individuals into collective activism.
It considers the significance of wider LGBT+ and Q activism exemplified by Pride as
performed spectacle, as a factor influencing the character of contemporary asexual
activism. This is considered both in terms of how the staging, setting and scripting
of Pride speaks to asexual activists in the West, and, how they speak back to Pride
as actor-activists, audience and bystanders to its political theatre. Methodologically,
this thesis is based on 15 months of ethnographic research: online semi-structured
interviews with asexual activists in both Europe and North America; auto-ethnographic
participant-observation of Pride events in Europe and North America, and, specific
case studies of WorldPride 2014 and Berlin Pride 2015. Theoretically, it draws cross-disciplinarily
on: insights from Social Movement Theory, particularly recent work which emphasises
the significance of emotive, cultural drama in contemporary activism; insights from
Sexuality & Gender Studies concerning scripted behaviour and LGBT+ and Q identity-formations,
and, emerging research in Asexual Studies concerning asexual orientations, identities
and socialised behaviours. The thesis emphasises the work of Goffmann (1971, 1974,
2017), Jasper (2008), Plummer (1994), Rubin (2011), Stallybrass and White (1986) and
Tilly (1995) to analyse the presentation of the asexual activist self, the collective
activist performances through which that self is embodied, and the interrelated asexual
and Pride narratives that are contended. Through auto-ethnography it considers the
researcher’s engagement with these contentious repertoires, as academic and participant-observer
who is also an actor-activist, audience member and bystander. This analysis reveals
a disconnect between the ongoing, framed scripting of Pride activism in the West and
the emerging core-frames of asexual activist scripts; even as asexual activists seek
alignment. |
