Reactions of older persons to performance art videos on sociocultural gender norm violation

Živimo v družbi, kjer je razširjena poenostavljena delitev spolov na ženski in moški spol. Ta delitev je povezana z določenimi družbeno-kulturnimi spolnimi normami. Od moških se pričakuje, da se obnašajo in oblačijo na določen način, ki se razlikuje od obnašanja in oblačenja, ki se pričakuje od žensk. Čeprav sta obnašanje in način oblačenja družbeno-kulturni konstrukt, ljudje na obnašanje in način oblačenja, ki jih pripisujemo določenemu spolu, pogosto gledamo preveč resno. V družbi zato obstajajo negativni spolni stereotipi in negativni stereotipi o gejih. Nekateri ljudje imajo predsodke do drugačnih in nekateri ljudje so tudi homofobični. Opravil sem polstrukturnirane intervjuje s starejšimi osebami. Vsak intervjuvance si je ogledal nekaj mojih performans art videov, ki jih objavljam na profilu Instagram. V teh videih se izražam svobodno, brez omejevanja z družbeno-kulturnimi spolnimi normami. Z raziskavo sem želel ugotoviti, kakšne so reakcije starejših oseb na performans art videe o kršenju družbeno-kulturnih spolnih norm in kakšna je njihova argumentacija. Pri analizi odgovorov intervjuvancev sem bil pozoren tudi na predsodke do gejev, spolne stereotipe in stereotipe o gejih in na homofobijo. Ugotovil sem, da so bili ti prisotni pri nekaterih odgovorih intervjuvancev. Razlog za to v veliki meri pripisujem heteronormativnosti.We live in the society where a simplistic division of sexes to female and male sex is widespread. This division is connected with certain sociocultural gender norms. It is expected from the males to behave and dress in a certain manner which is distinguished from the behavior and dressing which is expected from the females. Even though the behavior and the manner of dressing is a sociocultural construct, people often see the behavior and the manner of dressing which we attribute to a certain gender too seriously. Therefore, there are negative gender stereotypes and negative stereotypes about gays in the society. Some people are prejudicial to different people and some are also homophobic. I performed semi-structured interviews with older persons. Every interviewee watched some of my performance art videos which I publish on my Instagram profile. In these videos, I express myself freely, with no limitations by sociocultural gender norms. By my research, I wished to ascertain what the reactions of older persons are on the performance art videos on sociocultural gender norm violation and what their argumentation is. When analyzing the responses of the interviewees, I was attentive about the prejudice of gays, sexual stereotypes and stereotypes of gays, and homophobia. I ascertained that the latter were present in some of the responses of the interviewees. I attribute the reason for that to heteronormativity
