520 _aBased on an ethnographic survey carried out within an LGBT collective, this article analyses the bodily self-presentations of “dykes” within this activist group. While all of them distance themselves from the bodily norms of femininity, their self-presentations are far from homogenous. This article proposes to analyse dykes activists’ biographical trajectories, exploring their family, school and activist socializations, in order to understand the gendered, sexual and social context within which they have worked on their own bodies. More specifically, I will investigate how their bodily dispositions are – and can be – reworked differently in the course of their “LGBT” socialization, thus producing varied (re)presentations of the self.
