“…The audience of my PhD necessitated that I thought very carefully about the type of discourse on feminist organizations I wanted to produce. I read in a feminist piece on ethnography something very simple but very tricky to deal with: everything you say about marginalized people in a dominant institution will be used against them (Clair, 2016). No matter what is said, this information will enrich the knowledge of the dominant group, and as knowledge is power, it will increase their power over the marginalized.…”

The article explores the topic of turning a feminist activist ethnographic "fieldwork" into words, that is, of writing an ethnographic account in a feminist way. It builds on the work of Audre Lorde to underline the role of emotions in a feminist writing process producing emancipatory knowledge. First, the article contributes to the topic of emotions in feminist writing, by redefining induction as an emotional rather than a rational process. Second, I show how the contribution of Audre Lorde to rethinking writing as an emancipatory process helped me come out of silence and gain empowerment, and hence how writing can be a feminist empowering action. Finally, displaying a story about my experience of writing can hopefully resonates with the ones of others and challenge dominant accounts of writing as a linear process.

“…Once respondents agreed to participate in the study, long interviews eventually allowed us to establish relations of trust and for respondents to open up on their experiences and feelings during and following the house search or the house arrest. Several informants compared our discussions with therapy sessions, as they can become a moment to claim recognition, selfassertion, and empowerment (Clair 2016;Grard 2008).…”

This article focuses on the massive house searches and house arrests that occurred during the state of emergency in France between 2015 and 2017. It draws from critical studies on counterterrorism as well as sociology of the intimate to analyze the aftermath of these measures on the Muslim households that experienced these procedures without being sentenced afterward. It examines how house arrests and searches redefine the respondents’ relationships to their domestic space and local environment as these places become spaces of fear, surveillance, discipline, and self-control. The analysis reveals a set of embodied and discursive strategies to prove an innocence that implies a reappropriation of state categories around social integration and the promotion of an acceptable and non-suspect religiosity.

“…[44][45][46] This approach will help us to comprehend the meanings that transmasculine individuals attribute to health and sexuality and how this unfolds as particular behaviours among this group. We furthermore mobilise a sociological background [47][48][49] notably an intersectional framework 50 51 in order to better grasp the various norms and power relationships that influence the intimacies of transmasculine individuals. Indeed, research shows that transgender people experience intersecting forms of marginalisation, which, among other issues, will result in worse health outcomes than those seen among cisgender individuals.…”

IntroductionWhile current research on sexuality and health often explores sexual behaviours among heterosexual and gay cisgender individuals, little is known about the sexualities of transgender people, especially transmasculine people. When data are available, sexual health is often reduced to risk exposure, not considering in detail social context and determinants that could contribute to a more comprehensive approach, such as general health, class, race, exposure to violence or social representations. Recognising this gap, identified in both national (French) and international scientific literature, this study aims to explore the sexual health of transmasculine people, employing an intersectional approach and considering both positive and negative health determinants.MethodsThis 2-year research based in the disciplinary field of social psychology, with a gender perspective, and will apply qualitative methods. We adopt a community-based research approach, integrating one university and one community-based organisation in the coordination of the study. In a triangulation perspective, two rounds of semistructured interviews will be performed with key informants (medical practitioners, community-based support services workers, etc) and with people self-identifying as transmasculine. Focus groups will complement data collection.Ethics and disseminationFOREST protocol was approved by the Comité d’Évaluation Éthique (CEEI) de l’Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale (CEEI/International Review Board 00003888). The research adopts the principles of open science, and findings will be published assuring participants’ confidentiality. Informative flyers and videos will be elaborated to communicate study findings to participants, stakeholders and the transcommunities at large, and data will be stored in lasting archives.
