ABSTRACT This article explores the ways in which women victim/survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and other human rights abuses in Colombia are co-facilitating repair and regeneration in their wider social ecologies – including their families, communities, built and natural environments – through their physical and emotional work. I begin by exploring the concept of co-facilitation which is used in socio-ecological resilience literature to designate the process through which individuals and communities cooperate with their social ecologies to make positive development possible after stressful/traumatic experiences despite systemic inequality and oppression. Using empirical data and following a growing corpus of literature which recognises that during war people are not only harmed but also build life alongside violence, I argue that victim/survivors and women-led organizations cooperate to co-facilitate positive change in women’s lives and their communities. The paper concludes by reflecting on the role of these organizations as central resources in women’s lives and the need to strengthen them.

What happens to queer and gender-non-conforming community, bodily expression and identity when many queer spaces are closed and communities move to online spaces? In this article we critically reflect on our collaborative project bois of isolation (boi) - a platform within Instagram for people to share selfies of the spaces and processes through which they queer gender binaries during the COVID-19 pandemic. We ask to what extent online social media spaces can disrupt normative, binarised gender identity and provide ways of reimagining the selfie. Operating within digital capitalism, selfies often serve to circulate and reproduce dominant ‘desirable’ subjectivities in ‘gender appropriate’ places. However, we argue through interventions like boi young people carve out small spaces of dissent and respite in/ from social media platforms and create forms of community during lockdown. By queering the visual representations of binarised gender and questioning the neoliberal individualised ‘self’ in ‘selfies’, young people construct communal aesthetic spaces in which gender plurality and fluidity are expressed and celebrated
当许多酷儿空间关闭,社区转移到网络空间时,酷儿和性别不一致的社区、身体表达和身份会发生什么?在这篇文章中,我们批判性地反思了我们的合作项目bois of isolation(boi),这是Instagram中的一个平台,人们可以分享他们在新冠肺炎大流行期间同性恋性别二元的空间和过程的自拍照。我们想知道,在线社交媒体空间在多大程度上可以破坏规范的、二元化的性别认同,并提供重新想象自拍的方式。在数字资本主义中运作,自拍往往有助于在“与性别相适应”的地方传播和再现占主导地位的“理想”主观主义。然而,我们认为,通过像boi这样的干预措施,年轻人在社交媒体平台上开辟出异议和喘息的小空间,并在封锁期间创建各种形式的社区。通过质疑二元化性别的视觉表现,并质疑“自拍”中新自由主义的个性化“自我”,年轻人构建了表达和庆祝性别多样性和流动性的公共美学空间

ABSTRACT Recognition and citizenship issues play pivotal roles in understanding the complex interaction between different forms of inequalities. Citizenship should be treated as a practice intimately linked with individuals’ identities and rights, their sense of belonging and their actual nature of participation in the different spheres of their life. Exclusion is not just deprivation from the more tangible economic and social processes but also denying people their voice and their right to be unique. In this context, the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act concerning India’s transgender community lies within the crucial junctures of identity politics and the country’s legal and social structures. This work critically analyses the TG Act and raises few questions on the nature of recognition given to transgender individuals. Does a transgender person get citizenship that guarantees representation and equality? To what extent does the new Act do justice to the transgender community in living as a member of the society and not just as a product of ‘othering’? The paper concludes that recognition is not just for citizenship and identity rights – it is the right to be different but equal.
