ABSTRACT

Through its portrayals of the intersectional identities of race and gender divergence, the FX series Pose illustrates how social structures fail marginalized communities as a disciplinary function of hegemony and perpetuate a biomedical model of health that serves to reinforce health disparities. For this study, researchers took a critical cultural rhetorical approach to the series through the lens of the social ecological model and biomedical model, to deconstruct hegemonic discourses of power present within medical practices. This paper situates Pose as an artifact that condemns the cultural practices of the marginalization and erasure of transgender communities, demonstrating how the show confronts the mechanisms of hegemonic power by exposing the cissexist stigmatization within the healthcare establishment. Through the exposure of the failings of the social ecological model with the biomedical model, Pose exposes the discrimination and stigma inherent within dominant forms of healthcare as they persist today.

摘要

通过对种族和性别差异的交叉身份的描绘，FX 系列姿势说明了社会结构如何使边缘化社区失败，作为霸权的纪律功能，并使健康的生物医学模型永久化，从而加剧健康差异。在这项研究中，研究人员通过社会生态模型和生物医学模型的视角对该系列采取了批判性的文化修辞方法，以解构医疗实践中存在的霸权话语。本文定位姿势作为谴责跨性别社区边缘化和抹杀的文化实践的艺术品，展示了该节目如何通过揭露医疗机构内部的独裁者污名来对抗霸权机制。通过暴露社会生态模型与生物医学模型的失败，姿势暴露了当今仍然存在的主要医疗保健形式中固有的歧视和污名。
