Abstract: | Using a narrative autoethnographical approach, this article details the identity-related and social repercussions of my experiences as a former victim of social, verbal, and physical bullying in public Franco-Ontarian elementary (1986–1994) and high (1994–1999) schools. The highlighted experiences are more specifically correlated with social representations of feminine beauty and alternative sexual orientations. This article is based on a study that encompasses the following elements: the social environment that contributes to the production, development, internalization, and reproduction of social representations, norms, and identities through interaction; experience which includes stigmatization and bullying; and the continuity of experience inherent to socialization and identity formation. Other concepts (e.g. marginalized multiplicities and intersectionality) are also discussed. |
