Ce mémoire a pour domaine de recherche le tatouage et porte spécifiquement sur les femmes hautement tatouées. J’y explore la dimension de la présentation de soi et de l’expérience sociale dans les lieux publics montréalais sous l’angle des interactions. Dans le cadre de celles-ci, les femmes hautement tatouées mettent en scène des stratégies d’évitement, de confrontation ou de légitimation, et ce de manière quotidienne. Malgré ces différentes stratégies utilisées, des situations de conflit peuvent se manifester lors d’interactions. À la lumière du corpus d’analyse qui provient d’entretiens semi-dirigés effectués avec huit participantes hautement tatouées et des thèmes qui y sont abordés, il a été possible de créer une typologie quant aux situations de conflit, ainsi qu’identifier différentes stratégies qui se situent dans un continuum, où le choix stratégique oscille entre un désir de conformité et un désir de résistance par rapport aux attentes normatives. De manière générale, ce mémoire a pour but de documenter l’expérience sociale des femmes hautement tatouées dans les lieux publics à Montréal, afin de démontrer selon une perspective féministe matérialiste l’influence des rapports sociaux de domination entre les sexes sur l’expérience des femmes des lieux publics, les perceptions sociales des femmes tatouées et les stéréotypes qui perdurent, malgré la popularisation de la pratique du tatouage. ___________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Tatouages, femmes, interactions, lieux publics, conflits

In Living a Feminist Life Sara Ahmed shows how feminist theory is generated from everyday life and the ordinary experiences of being a feminist at home and at work. Building on legacies of feminist of color scholarship in particular, Ahmed offers a poetic and personal meditation on how feminists become estranged from worlds they critique-often by naming and calling attention to problems-and how feminists learn about worlds from their efforts to transform them. Ahmed also provides her most sustained commentary on the figure of the feminist killjoy introduced in her earlier work while showing how feminists create inventive solutions-such as forming support systems-to survive the shattering experiences of facing the walls of racism and sexism. The killjoy survival kit and killjoy manifesto, with which the book concludes, supply practical tools for how to live a feminist life, thereby strengthening the ties between the inventive creation of feminist theory and living a life that sustains it. https://www.saranahmed.com/

In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached. A queer phenomenology, Ahmed contends, reveals how social relations are arranged spatially, how queerness disrupts and reorders these relations by not following the accepted paths, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, those that might, at first glance, seem awry. Ahmed proposes that a queer phenomenology might investigate not only how the concept of orientation is informed by phenomenology but also the orientation of phenomenology itself. Thus she reflects on the significance of the objects that appear—and those that do not—as signs of orientation in classic phenomenological texts such as Husserl’s Ideas. In developing a queer model of orientations, she combines readings of phenomenological texts—by Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Fanon—with insights drawn from queer studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. Queer Phenomenology points queer theory in bold new directions. https://www.saranahmed.com/
