A fim de compreender tal dinâmica, procedo, através de uma abordagem autoetnográfica, uma investigação das práticas de “pegação” em banheiros públicos masculinos da Estação da Lapa – maior terminal de ônibus urbano de Salvador – e adjacências. Como não se trata de um objeto tradicional da Antropologia (“comunidade X ou Y”), tomo como objeto a deriva urbana da pegação no Centro da Cidade por onde transitam sujeitos que praticam sexo ocasional e não comercial entre homens, nas negociações e consórcios episódicos tecidos no – e no entorno do – “banheirão”. Percebo que, para além de um simples terminal com um sanitário, a Estação da Lapa é ressignificada como espaço de práticas sexuais de desejos dissidentes, na direção de interesses tão diversificados quantos são os sujeitos que interagem na cena e que só são reunidos aqui pelo traço em comum dos desejos, diversificadamente, homo-orientados. In loco research into sexuality is very unusual in anthropology and it is even less common to take into account variables like homosexuality, race and gender in order to understand sexual interaction among men in public areas of big cities. In order to understand such a dynamics, I have undertaken an autoetnography, an investigation of “cruising “ practices in male public conveniences in the Lapa station- the biggest urban bus terminal in Salvador, where there is a transit of subjects who practice occasional and non-commercial sex among men. Studying the negotiations and episodic conjunctions occurring in and in the vicinities of the public convenience, I notice that the terminal is resignified as a space for sexual practices of dissident desires, in accordance with interests as diverse as are the subjects who interact in the scene and who are only united by their common desires of a diversified homosexual nature. / Salvador

This study focuses on a group of homosexual men. The group has been defined as 'Queer' based on the value and pride which they place on their difference to the general norms and values of the wider society. Four of these men were interviewed on their moral structure and the way in which they structure their relationships. The study focused on: the nature of the norms this group has developed; the process by which this has occurred; and the psychological effects of this process. It was found that the research participants have developed new norms and behavioural scripts significantly different to those existing generally in society. These new behavioural scripts relate to the socially mandated scripts in various ways with some mandated scripts being rejected, some being adapted and amended and others being inverted. These differences seem to originate from individuals being rejected and stigmatised. The changes these queer men have made were moves to bring a greater sense of congruence between their experience, their morality and their behavioural scripts. The initial period of divergence between the socially mandated behavioural scripts and their sexual behaviour was marked by psychological distress while the move to greater congruence between behaviour and behavioural scripts was characterised by increased psychological empowerment and sense of self-worth. The study also showed that during these processes other differences developed between the way these individuals act in their world and the general norm of society. These differences included a greater self-awareness; an increased ability to operate at a meta-level; a conscious effort to create the life that one wants; differences in gender behaviour which incorporated behavioural aspects of both genders and new forms of establishing and maintaining relationships. Homosexuality is an historic opportunity to open up new relational and affective potentialities, not in virtue of qualities intrinsic to the homosexual, but because of the position of the homosexual 'offcenter', somehow, together with the diagonal lines which the homosexual can draw through the social fabric, makes it possible to bring to light these potentialities - a famous homosexual Queer (M. Foucault) / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / A partir de nove entrevistas semi-estruturadas, conduzidas entre os meses de abril e outubro de 2008 com homens homossexuais entre vinte e seis e quarenta e dois anos de idade, oriundos de camadas médias e médias baixas do Rio de Janeiro e adjacências, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo compreender as maneiras pelas quais estes indivíduos se descobrem atraídos por pessoas do mesmo sexo e buscam meios de lidar com esse desejo. Ao mesmo tempo, procura entender como essa diferença se desloca do plano subjetivo e fala de si, o que é conhecido como sair do armário ou fazer o coming out, processo que parece ocorrer de modo descontínuo e incompleto, na medida em que estratégias de manipulação e ocultamento da orientação sexual frequentemente se mostram necessárias perante os diversos círculos de sociabilidade nos quais se transita regularmente, dentre os quais a família, o ambiente de trabalho e os amigos. A análise do discurso dos informantes, aliada a uma fundamentação teórica de cunho majoritariamente sócio-antropológico, permitiu depreender que há um anseio por reconhecimento, aceitação e respeito. Observou-se também a existência de certos mapeamentos, que abrangem preocupações com a aparência, controle de gestos e manifestações de afeto e a evitação de lugares tidos como hostis ou pouco tolerantes, visando a uma redução dos riscos de discriminação e violência. / Based upon nine semi-structured interviews, conducted between the months of April and October of 2008 with homosexual men between twenty-six and forty-two years old, arising from middle and middle-low classes from Rio de Janeiro and surroundings, this work aims to understand the ways by which these individuals find themselves attracted to same-sex people and look for means to deal with this desire. At the same time, it tries to understand how this difference is dislocated from the subjective level and speak up, what is known as to come out of the closet or simply coming out, a process that seems to occur in a discontinued and incomplete way, since management and concealing strategies of sexual orientation are frequently required before the various sociability circles in which they move through on a regular basis, among which family, workplace and friends are included. The analysis of the informants‟ discourse, combined with a mainly socio-anthropological theoretical foundation, led to conclude that there is a yearn for recognition, acceptance and respect. Certain mappings, which cover concerns with appearance, gesture and affection display controls and avoidance of places considered to be hostile or little tolerant, were also observed as a way of lowering discrimination and violence risks.

Based on this assumption, it was formulated in the dissertation work, an analysis of the relationship between Cinema and Sexuality in order to understand, describe, reflect and analyze possible changes around the performative behaviors of male homosexual from the introduction of them in film production, arising from the mass culture industry. These productions are located in three different decades. In this case, the Cinema has not only the reproductive character of realities, but also a producing agent and consolidating them. The methodology applied was discourse analysis of three film works, namely La Cage aux Folles (1978), In & Out (1997) and Boat Trip (2002). The image, research object of this work, is developed by a mass culture that will produce mass identities which is characterized by crystallization of clich?s around the gay world / A homossexualidade vem ganhando for?a no Cinema a partir do final do s?culo XX, quando h? uma dissemina??o das liberdades em torno das sexualidades ditas perif?ricas ou marginais. Partindo desse pressuposto, foi elaborada, no trabalho de disserta??o de mestrado, uma an?lise sobre a rela??o entre Cinema e Sexualidade, a fim de perceber, descrever, refletir e analisar poss?veis mudan?as em torno dos comportamentos perform?ticos dos sujeitos homossexuais masculinos a partir da introdu??o destes nas produ??es cinematogr?ficas, oriundas da ind?stria cultural de massa. Produ??es estas localizadas em tr?s d?cadas distintas. Nesse caso, tem-se sobre o Cinema um car?ter n?o somente de reprodutor das realidades, mas tamb?m de um agente produtor e de consolida??o delas. A metodologia aplicada no trato desses objetivos se d? atrav?s da an?lise de discurso de tr?s obras f?lmicas, a saber, Gaiola das loucas (1978), Ser? que ele ?? (1997) e Cruzeiro das loucas (2002). A imagem ? o objeto de pesquisa desse trabalho, sendo ela desenvolvida por uma cultura de massa, que ir? produzir identidades de massa que se caracteriza atrav?s da cristaliza??o de clich?s em torno do mundo gay
