Aunque en Chile la investigación académica sobre el tema es prácticamente inexistente, estudios realizados en el extranjero sugieren que se trata de un colectivo que sufre invisibilización, deslegitimación y patologización no sólo desde la sociedad en general y otros grupos de la diversidad sexual, sino también por parte de profesionales de la salud física y mental. Este trabajo pretende contribuir a abrir la investigación académica a nivel local, entregando una aproximación a las vivencias y construcción de identidad de personas asexuales chilenas a través de la exploración de narrativas identitarias construidas en diálogo con representantes de este colectivo. Para ello, se articularon Producciones Narrativas según la metodología de Balasch y Montenegro en colaboración con personas chilenas adultas que se identifican como asexuales, que luego se pusieron en diálogo con los postulados de la teoría narrativa, los planteamientos de Michel Foucault y Paul Preciado respecto de la sexualidad como dispositivo de control y las propuestas de representantes de la teoría queer sobre de la identidad, la orientación sexual y las posibilidades de resistencia # of Pages 126

In order to do so, it carries on a theoretical revision of the concept of asexuality, highlighting the most relevant contributions for its emerging study. Secondly, as asexual people mostly interact through virtual platforms, the chosen methodology is a virtual ethnography, combined with in-depth interviews. The objective is to highlight the specificity of a mainly virtual community. In the last place, the process of “politization” of the asexual community is developed, this one being oriented to the rest of the civil society and other groups of sexual diversity.

We are just beginning to scratch the surface of understanding sexual diversity. Due to the significance sexuality has throughout the life cycle, it is of utmost importance to comprehend the different variations regarding sexual identity. Studies of sexual identity, specifically those focused on sexual orientation, have fixated on the presence of sexuality. As a result, there is a lack of awareness and general knowledge regarding asexuality. There is a need for education, not only for the public, but also for any health care professional who provides services to the community. So that every person can converse in a considerate and effective manner or in the case of health care professionals, when interacting with clients who do not identify as heterosexual, to guarantee the best possible experience in medical care. The aim of this short article is to introduce the concept of asexuality, to abound on its discussion in several areas of interest and to provide recommendations for clinical and investigative work. Recognizing that asexuality isn’t just black and white, there’s a gray area in between. Short Title Saliendo de la Otra Esquina del Clóset

However, extensive polysemy is evident in scientific publications. The aim of the present review was to synthesize the concept of asexuality in biomedical publications. It Was designed a review and qualitative analysis of narrative reviews published between January 1, 2000 and June 30, 2018. Review followed the PRISMA recommendations suggested for this type of review. The search was conducted in PubMed and the Virtual Health Library. It was used as descriptors or keywords: asexuality and revision. A synthesis was made for the definition of asexuality in three steps: coding of the text 'line by line', the development of 'descriptive themes', and the generation of 'analytical themes', typical of qualitative analysis. Eight articles were included. The analytical themes showed four components for the definition of asexuality: attraction/sexual desire as the principal component, sexual relations, loving affective relationships, and self-identification. Asexuality is a multidimensional construct. It is necessary to reach a consensus for the criteria of the definition and thereby design instruments or interviews to define the prevalence and associated factors in different contexts.

However, this phenomenon has been little studied. The investigations carried out to date confirm that the lack of “erotic attraction” towards one sex or the other is defining and imposes itself as the axis of all the asexual behaviors encompassed under the same name. Therefore, the present study focuses on defining precisely the concept of “sexual attraction”, which is different from affection, admiration, the so-called “romantic attraction”, and sexual excitement. On the other hand, there are frequent masturbatory and paraphilic behaviors in asexual people, and it is obvious that these behaviors respond to other factors not dependent on the “erotic attraction”, which leads us to maintain as evidence the existence of three fundamental constituent factors of the core of human sexuality: sexual attraction, excitement, and orgasm. Non-covariable factors, whose presence, joint or isolated, explains the different sexual behaviors of men and women.

Asexual people speak of their own sexuality as a natural inclination for which they have low sexual desire and disinterest in sex and sexual relations. They affirm that they live and feel comfortable with this state and reject justifications such as celibacy or fear of sex, among others. Numerous questions also arise such as: is asexuality an identity? Is it a new category within sexual orientations? And in that case, could it be considered in such a way if there is no object to be oriented? Is there a biological explanation? Could we speak of homosexual or heterosexual asexuality? Answering these questions, among many others, added to the lack of appropriate language to refer to this experience, increases confusion and lack of awareness about their existence. As a response to this lack of awareness arise associations such as AVEN. AVEN is an online platform that provides a space where people can both learn and provide information about asexual experiences in order to visualize and educate about its existence. In Spain, publications of asexuality have appeared in recent years, although their presence is still scarce. My project aims to provide greater visibility and contribute to the progress towards the necessary understanding of this topic. Short Title La asexualidad # of Pages 29

Accessed 2022-04-09 01:03:35 Library Catalog repository.urosario.edu.co Type bachelorThesis Language spa University Universidad del Rosario Abstract The sexual revolution that took place in the twentieth century, opened a space for the discovery and construction of new identities (homosexual, bisexual, transsexual, intersexual, and more recently asexual) that contribute to that search and construction of who we are, and to frame those paths that can help us understand our subjectivity. Asexuality has been emerging and has been potentiated thanks to the digital era, which enabled the creation of the most important international association of people identified as asexual (AVEN) contributing to its visibility from where it starts to build the definition of this identity , the different manifestations and typologies that can be raised and the delimitations or differentiations with concepts and postures such as celibacy and abstinence. That is why the objective of this work is to analyze and make an understanding of asexuality through a review of literature, which will take a tour of its history, the conceptions that have been adopted from various fields of knowledge such as biological, social, constructivist, psychoanalysis and how feminist and gender theories have influenced and given the possibility of construction and existence of this identity. # of Pages 48

Esto es importante a la hora de producir un marco de referencia e identificación y generar políticas hacia los sistemas de educación y de salud, que contribuyan a la despatologización y colaboren en el impulso de saberes con respecto a las necesidades de las personas asexuales. Dicho esto, esa misma abundancia de datos estadísticos, encuestas, clasificaciones y subcategorías que describen a la asexualidad para visibilizarla, hegemonizan el conjunto de saberes que la hacen aparecer, y por ello nos encontramos ante una inmovilización al enunciarla únicamente a través de esos discursos. Como plantea Butler, “si queremos procurarnos protección legal y derechos es mejor que tengamos la capacidad de hablar ese lenguaje. Pero quizás cometemos un error cuando tomamos las definiciones de quiénes somos legalmente como descripciones fidedignas de lo que somos” (2006: 39). En este artículo se pretende generar cuestionamientos e interpelaciones desde la asexualidad como disidencia a la heteronorma androcentrista. Short Title Una sospecha especular

Este intercambio pretende ser fructífero tanto para las teorizaciones de la sexualidad como para la investigación aplicada a la asexualidad en concreto. De este debate surge la necesidad de conceptualizar una scentia asexualis, una ciencia asexual, que se articula a partir de la controversia en choque respecto a cómo subjetivar la asexualidad. Es aquí donde encontramos un choque radical entre dos posiciones contrapuestas; patología u orientación sexual legítima. La inclusión de la asexualidad dentro del espectro fluido de la sexualidad implica un cuestionamiento profundo de la salud, especialmente la salud mental, y la identidad como categorías. Al mismo tiempo, se concluye con la importancia de una concepción fluida y abierta de la sexualidad que a su vez recoja identidades dentro de la diversidad que tengan un espacio desde el que apropiarse y a partir del cual empoderarse frente al conjunto de la sociedad.

En 1950 aparece por vez primera con Kinsey y su escala («categoría X» = falta de atracción sexual). Sin embargo, son Storms y su modelo bidimensional de la sexualidad basado en el homo y heteroerotismo los que introdujeron el término de «asexualidad» como tal. La falta de conocimiento y la poca información sobre la asexualidad ha hecho que numerosas personas se sientan incomprendidas, incluso llegando a ser diagnosticadas con un trastorno mental. En este contexto, cabe señalar la labor del colectivo AVENes en la transmisión y difusión de información. Esta revisión aborda la asexualidad desde diversas perspectivas, como la histórica y la médica, así como la errónea concepción de la asexualidad como una disfunción sexual o incluso como un trastorno mental (trastorno de deseo sexual hipoactivo). Asimismo, se indica la prevalencia actual y su concepción hoy en día, siendo necesario entender la asexualidad como una orientación sexual. Short Title Asexualidad

Bougie Contributor Lynn Itagaki URL https://ift.tt/Wcr8BhE Date 05/2021 Extra DOI: 10.32469/10355/85832 Accessed 2022-03-08 04:15:45 Library Catalog DOI.org (Crossref) Type M.A. Language en University University of Missouri--Columbia Abstract The term "aromantic" describes those who experience little to no romantic attraction to other people, marking a queer identity hardly referenced in either scholarship or popular conversation. Aromanticism's obscurity doesn't only render it difficult for aromantic people to communicate to those who don't identify or aren't familiar with the term -- it also often leaves aromantics themselves uncertain as to how they might put their perspectives and experiences to words (much less music, visual art, and so on). In this thesis, I suggest that both the aromantic community and composition studies might benefit from some manner of allyship or collaboration with each other. While scholars of queer composition have been publishing exciting work for the past several decades on queering form and genre, writing pedagogy, even how success or failure in composing can be imagined as a whole, their scholarship has yet to either acknowledge the aromantic community's presence or incorporate some of its viewpoints. Following such scholars as Jonathan Alexander, Jacqueline Rhodes, and Stacey Waite, I wonder how queering composition might look different if aromanticism were incorporated into it. To do so, I share from my own aromantic experiences and compositions as well as offer overviews on the contemporary aromantic community and composition studies' queer table. The resulting project is a collage of research and something like prose poetry (not to mention drama and visual art), itself a text that takes a hopeful stab at queering form, queerly content as to whether it might succeed or fail in its genre.
