Partnerskapet: trygghet eller en illusion? : En intervjustudie med lesbiska kvinnor som ingått partnerskap
Year: 2010
Type: dissertation
Abstract: I have critically examined heteronormativity as it permeates our society and questioned “identities” as designed and constructed, leading to certain identities being seen as normal, while others are regarded as abnormal. I have had a discussion with my informants about love, monogamy, amicable and relationships. Every couple has basically isolated themselves after they became a couple and they feel secure with one another. The partnership is very important for my informants, partly because they see the partnership as a legal and economical security. However, these aspects are not crucial to the decision that they chose to marry, for the main reason is love and the desire to take the relationship one step further. All my informants talk about the security of living in a safe monogamus relationship together and that they feel that they gain a lot living in that construction. My aim is to question the partnership/marriage aspects from a queer perspective.
