Vortrag "Spiritual paradigms and same-sexualities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa" - Taylor Riley

24.04.2018, 18:30 Uhr
Iwalewahaus

This presentation will consider how same-sex subjectivities and attitudes toward same-sex practices, relationships, and identities are iterated and influenced by the spiritual paradigms of ancestor worship and charismatic Christianity in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Drawing on interviews and observations from fieldwork in 2015 and 2016, I will discuss interpretations of ancestral and Biblical knowledge about sexuality in this context, especially from LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex) people themselves, as both affirming and adverse. The presentation will also look at how people who engage in same-sex practices in different ways see their gender and sexual subjectivities as uniquely ‘divined’ by different spiritual processes and entities.​
