ArgumentHistorically, the Gay Liberation Movement emerged as a collective wish for social transformation regarding sexual practice, sex roles, gender prescriptions and the privitization/commodification of relationships. The movement was situated in a context of other movements for visionary social change regarding race, citizenship, women&#8217;s autonomy, children&#8217;s rights, national identity, regional self-determination and a revolution in the distribution of wealth. The AIDS crisis propelled a profound transformation of the LGBT community from a political movement to a consumer group. Abrupt changes in media representation, psychological consequences of the mass death experience, and the impact of widespread loss of generations and individuals in traumatic and sudden ways resulted in the grassroots Gay Liberation Movement fading into history, to be replaced by a Gay Rights Movement, controlled from the top down by national organizations with paid staff and LGBT individuals situated within ruling political parties, lobbying from within the cultural frameworks of those constructions.This confluence of Rights and Nation States, lead to what Rutgers Professor Jasbir Puar called &#8220;Homonationalism&#8221;, the granting of Gay Rights in the service of state interests rooted in supremacy ideology about race, gender, class and ethnicity. By definition, this unholy alliance only allows &#8220;Rights&#8221; to people who fit the dominant cultural national power structure. As a result we now see many examples in the world where white gay people, most often male but not always, who are within their nations&#8217; religious profiles, lose their state of contradiction around homosexuality and join supremacy movements. This phenomena is most evident in Britain, The Netherlands, Germany and Israel. The United States, which does not have &#8220;gay rights&#8221; did trade the right to military service for LGBT identification with two wars against Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, in this way creating Homonationalism without having to create equality under the law. In a dynamic relationship, whose nature is still to be articulated, Queer movements have emerged in Latin America, the Arab World, China, Iran and Africa.Very different from their western counterparts, these movements are often in explicit reaction to religious supremacy, rooted in communities that immigrate to the west, resistant to Occupation, and part of popular movements for social change. In a sense, the International LGBT has split into two distinct and profoundly different political entities: The Homonationalist LGBT Rights Movement on one hand, and the Anti-Imperialist Queer Movement on the other. In fact these two movements are so different in their goals, methodologies and analysis that one could argue that they are entirely separate and should be so.In this Thematic Symposium for The 10th International Seminar Fazendo G&#234;nero: Desafios Atuais dos Feminismos we, Felipe Bruno Martins Fernandes and Sarah Schulman, invite researchers from all over the globe and across fields of knowledge (with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity ) to present works on the dynamics between Gay Rights and the Queer Movement, internationally, especially in the national and transnational spheres. This will be a multi-language Symposium accepting presentations and papers in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French (we recommend all PowerPoint presentations to be written in English).Scientific coordinatorsFELIPE BRUNO MARTINS FERNANDES (P&#243;s Doutor(a) - L'&#201;cole des Hautes &#201;tudes en Sciences Sociales/Toulouse),SARAH SCHULMAN (Livre Doc&#234;ncia - City University of New York/College of Staten Island) &#160;ScheduleMarch 20, 2013 - Deadline for submission of papers (oral presentations in TS) and postersMay 30, 2013 - Announcement of papers selected for presentation in Thematic Symposia and of the list of accepted PostersJune, 2013 - Preparation of the programme brochure of the eventJuly 04, 2013 - Deadline for handing in the final copy of papers (oral presentations) for publication in the ProceedingsThe international Conference will take place from 16th to 20th of September 2013 in&#160;Florian&#243;polis/Brazil, Federal University of Santa CatarinaDecember 15, 2013 - Publication of the full texts presented in the Thematic Symposia (TS) on the website of "Fazendo G&#234;nero 10".
