Abstract
This project centers an analysis based on interviews conducted with an LGBT-refugee from Ghana. Throughout the analysis we focus on the experiences and knowledge our informant describes. To do this, we use Sara Ahmed's theory of Queer Phenomenology and her terms in order to understand and get a queer view on the complexities that lies behind seeking refuge based on sexual deviance from the norm. By adding a postcolonial view, we seek to discover some of the paradoxes that emerge in the meeting between the two contexts; Ghana and Denmark. We seek to complicate the understanding of orientation by focusing on the value of situated knowledge, as introduced by Donna Haraway. To further explicate the paradoxes that arise, we draw on gender- and sex discourses as explained by Oyérónké Oyewúmí and John C. Hawley. We advocate for the importance of the queer story, in order to illuminate the structures that has defined the dominating discourses of sex and gender. |
