Ser Farrucas en El Puche. Un diálogo sobre las resistencias transfeministas, con Ian de la Rosa= Being Farrucas in El Puche. A dialogue on transfeminist resistances, with Ian de la Rosa.

ResumenEsta conversación entre Ian de la Rosa y Lucas Platero aborda las formas de resistencia transfeminista que encontramos en la obra fílmica de Ian de la Rosa, donde sus protagonistas son personas que están en varias encrucijadas de sexo, raza y clase social. En su última obra, Farrucas, conocemos a unas adolescentes que encarnan mestizaje marroquí y andaluz en un barrio de El Puche, y nos acercamos a sus estrategias para hacer frente a un contexto que les dice que no saben y que no valen. Abordamos también la discusión sobre las políticas de representación de las personas trans en el cine y ponemos en valor la aportación de las personas trans a esta disciplina.AbstractThis conversation between Ian de la Rosa and Lucas Platero addresses the transfeminist resistance found in Ian de la Rosa's film work, with characters at the crossroads of gender, race and social class. In his latest work, Farrucas, he portrays a group of teenage girls that embody Moroccan and Andalusian mix-race in the neighborhood of El Puche (Almeria), acknowledging their strategies to cope with a context that tells them that they do not know, and are not worth. In this dialogue, we also address the discussion on the politics of representation of trans people in films, and we value the contribution of trans people to this discipline.  

Social Contact, Social Distancing, and Attitudes Toward LGT Individuals: A Cross-Cultural Study of College Students in the United States, Italy, and Spain

More than any other time in modern history, today people are significantly more likely to know (or be) lesbian, gay, and transgender (LGT) people; however, prejudices directed toward these groups remain. In the current study, we explore how social contact and social distancing/desired social contact are related to LGT prejudices using Worthen’s (2012) Attitudes toward LGT People Scales and data from four heterosexual college student samples in Oklahoma, Texas, Italy, and Spain (N = 1,217). In doing so we provide the first ever study to explore Allport’s (1954) contact hypothesis as it relates to transgender prejudices in Italy and Spain and the first study to examine desired social contact/social distancing and transgender prejudice in the U.S., Italy, and Spain. Our findings demonstrate that measures of desired social contact are strongly related to cross-cultural LGT attitudes while simple measures of contact (i.e., knowing an LGT person) are significantly less robust
