Por meio da observação in loco e de entrevistas realizadas com funcionários e frequentadores do local o cinemão mostrou-se um espaço frequentado por um público majoritariamente composto por homens brancos, jovens (entre 20 e 50 anos), de classes sociais variadas, que adotam um estilo predominantemente básico em suas maneiras de se vestir e que encenam performances masculinas consideradas discretas, onde a produção de um corpo que se enuncia a partir da discrição e da evidência de traços considerados masculinos e viris se configura em moeda de troca nas transações no cinemão. Compreendendo que o praticar o cinemão envolve uma multiplicidade de códigos de etiqueta e de construção da fachada dos agentes envolvidos, analisou-se essas interações homoeróticas a partir da capacidade agentiva dos sentidos sensórios e de sensações, como medo, tensão, tesão relatados pelos interlocutores e vivenciadas pelo pesquisador no que chamo de praticar o cinemão. Por fim, a realização de uma etnografia sinestésica do cinemão nos ajudou a compreender para além da agência dos sentidos e das sensações na organização de experiências sociais e na produção de espaços, os modos de tessitura de uma cidade que é feita a partir das astúcias e dos deslocamentos dos agentes, movimentando um circuito de produção de bens e serviços que negociam políticas de gestão do corpo, da aparência e do desejo imersas em um contexto de produção e circulação de dinheiro e emprego.

Vivências do desejo feminino: a experiência homoafetiva

Machado, Aline Oliveira 01 March 2010 (has links)
Submitted by Maria Suzana Diniz (msuzanad@hotmail.com) on 2015-11-06T16:27:06Z No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 1853125 bytes, checksum: 3cd8a3d3bf661c8edccf75ca0388a33d (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-11-06T16:27:06Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 1853125 bytes, checksum: 3cd8a3d3bf661c8edccf75ca0388a33d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-03-01 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Thinking of a society where part of the population is destined to live their affectivity in secret is to think like these people "admit to himself" a sexuality intended to marginalization and how to face, from the identification of desire itself to the practice of desire. Several studies have shown that even with the existence of social norms that shy away prejudice, discrimination is still active, although it is assuming forms of expression that do not come into direct confrontation with the term of the current standards of tolerance. These discriminatory attitudes and situations of exclusion have created feelings of inadequacy in homoerotic subjects, which is reflected directly on your self-esteem and in carrying out its duties as individuals belonging to the society. Consequently, the homoerotic subjects are seeking emotional support from each other, allowing them to soften the refusal of the harmonic coexistence with the rest of society. So the aim of this study is to investigate the construction of the social experience of the group of women who experience the practice of homoerotic desire as active minorities in a social dynamic characterized by disparaging representations to groups of sexual minorities. Describing how in this universe have developed and expressed the strategies of this experience. In this regard, research is based on five aspects: perception about the causes of homosexuality; Emotional and social factors involved the discovery of homoerotic desire; Perception about the discrimination experienced; Perception about the movements and sexual minorities contributed in the struggle for sexual diversity; and Perception about which are the flags of fights must be prioritized by the movement of sexual minorities. Two studies were carried out for this purpose, the first with sample composed of 81 women who practice the homoeroticism, contacted through networks of contacts; the second study included a sample of 176 women students of humanities courses that had already begun their sexual practice. Analyzing the data obtained in two studies, we can say that if homoerotic women have a vivid perception of the discrimination and prejudice from your homoerotic practices, consequences to which they are subject in society, on the other hand the experience of sexuality is full by feelings of social repression for straight women. Thus, discrimination is felt by this woman, and even more intensely lived by women homoerotic practice, which makes the practice of sexuality lived through the filter normative created and maintained socially. / Pensar em uma sociedade onde parcela da população é destinada a viver sua afetividade de forma secreta é pensar como estes sujeitos “admitem para si” uma sexualidade destinada à marginalidade e como enfrentam, desde a identificação do próprio desejo à prática do desejo. Diversos estudos têm demonstrado que mesmo com a existência de normas sociais que coíbem o preconceito, a discriminação continua atuante, embora esteja assumindo formas de expressão que não entram em confronto direto com a vigência das atuais normas de tolerância. Essas atitudes discriminatórias e as situações de exclusão criam sentimentos de inadequação social nos sujeitos homoeróticos, o que se reflete diretamente na sua auto-estima e no desempenho das suas funções enquanto indivíduos pertencentes à sociedade. Conseqüentemente, os sujeitos homoeróticos agrupam-se buscando um suporte emocional entre si, que lhes permite amenizar a recusa do convívio harmônico com o restante da sociedade. Assim o objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a construção da vivência social do grupo de mulheres que experienciam a prática do desejo homoafetivo enquanto minorias ativas, em uma dinâmica social caracterizada por representações depreciativas a grupos de minorias sexuais. Descrevendo como neste universo se desenvolvem e se expressam as estratégias dessa vivência. Neste sentido, a investigação baseia-se concretamente em cinco aspectos: Percepção acerca das causas da homossexualidade; Fatores emocionais e sociais envolvidos a descoberta do desejo homoerótico; Percepção acerca da discriminação vivida; Percepção acerca de como os movimentos e as minorias sexuais contribuem na luta pela diversidade sexual; e Percepção acerca de quais as bandeiras de lutas devem ser priorizadas pelo movimento de minorias sexuais. Para tanto foram realizados dois estudos, o primeiro com amostra composta por 81 mulheres que praticam o homoerotismo, contatadas através de redes de contatos; já o segundo estudo contou com uma amostra de 176 mulheres estudantes de cursos da área de humanas que já haviam iniciado sua prática sexual. Analisando os dados obtidos nos dois estudos, podemos afirmar que se por um lado as mulheres de práticas homoafetivas tem uma vívida percepção tanto das formas como das conseqüências da discriminação e preconceito a que estão submetidas na sociedade, por outro lado a vivência da sexualidade é perpassada por sentimentos de repressão social também por mulheres heterossexuais. Assim, a discriminação é sentida por ser mulher, e ainda mais intensamente experenciada por mulheres de prática homoafetiva, o que faz com que a prática da sexualidade seja vivida através do filtro das normativas criadas e mantidas socialmente.

Homosocial, Homoerotic, Bisexual, and Androgynous Bonds in Shakespeare’s Comedies

Sokolovic-Cizmek, Klarisa 10 November 2003 (has links)
In the thesis I inquire into the nature of the same-sex bonds in Shakespeare’s comedies. I discuss seven pairs of characters and demonstrate how in his comedies, Shakespeare first created homosocial relationships, later homoerotic relationships, then bisexual relationships, and, finally, a couple that may be described as androgynous. I demonstrate that in the early comedies the relationships are primarily homosocial and serve the purpose of self-realization. The self-realization includes reaching of a balance between a “feminine,” and a “masculine” self, with the goal of becoming a mature, androgynous human being. Although there are some homoerotic undercurrents in both the male and female relationships created during this period, I do not believe that these relationships are intended to represent a permanent sexual orientation. I see them as a part of the pattern that occurs in most of the plays, which possibly reflects Shakespeare’s concept of the process of maturing into an adult who is ready to accept the bonds of marriage. All of Shakespeare’s comedies contain homosocial relationships, sometimes with homoerotic undercurrents. The primary purpose of these relationships is the realization of the self. A young person enters into a relationship with another young person, a coeval, who resembles him/herself in numerous ways. They spend a lot of time together, involved in activities that are of interest to both of them. They see themselves in their friend. They identify not only with the persona, but also with the physique of the friend. Therefore, the (homo)erotic undercurrents that are present in some of the relationships are in fact the realization of the characters’ own eroticism and sexuality and are therefore not directed at the other character with the aim of gratification of sexual desire. The relationships with (homo)erotic undercurrents are merely a stage in the development of the self, and do not constitute a permanent sexual orientation. The final stage in the above pattern is marriage. Once the character has realized him/herself, (s)he is ready to marry. The homoerotic undercurrents begin to emerge in 1598, and in 1599 Shakespeare creates Antonio and Sebastian as his first homoerotic couple. In the same play appear the first three bisexual characters: Olivia, Orsino, and Sebastian. Again, since the three characters reach self-realization and marry at the play’s end, the issue of bisexuality can be interpreted either as a lifestyle, or as a stepping stone in one’s development toward adulthood and marriage. Another possibility is that the occurrence of bisexuality and the androgynous twins Viola and Sebastian serve to open up space for an inward marriage. In other words, the twins represent the climax of the pattern of self-realization through friends and lover, and add the notion that the better we know ourselves, the more we are aware of our androgyny. In the pattern that I trace through the four comedies, I demonstrate how Shakespeare uses homosocial, homoerotic, and bisexual relationships as means of learning about the true self, the self which reaches beyond the boundaries of gender, into—androgyny.

Reconceptualizando las masculinidades nacionales a través de la lente de la fotografía homoafectiva: cuatro proyectos de Argentina, México y Brasil

January 2019 (has links)
abstract: This doctoral dissertation proposes an analysis of a selection of photographic series by a diverse group of Latin American photographers such as Argentinian Gustavo Di Mario, Brazilians Claudio Edinger and Alair Gomes, and Mexican Dorian Ulises López Macías. The analyzed material focuses on a revision of characteristics of masculinity and imperative heteronormativity in the discourses on their respective national identities. The projects put-fourth by these four artists represent a political proposal that unveals the homoaffective possibilities of their photographic referents. Susan Sontag postulates in her On Photography (1979) that “the powers of photography have in effect de-Platonized our understanding of reality, making it less and less plausible to reflect upon our experience according to the distinction between images and things, between copies and originals” (179). These artists understand the power of the image and, through its meticulous composition, they propose to not only photograph, but to also narrate the reality of dissident identities and their belonging to a collective national identity. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Spanish 2019

Francesco Salviati Ritrattista: Experiments in Cinquecento Portraiture

Huang, Xiaoyin 30 April 2013 (has links)
This dissertation aims to provide a comprehensive study of Francesco Salviati’s portraits, analyzed within a chronological framework. Traditional attributions are re-examined and recent discoveries included to establish a reliable core group of the artist’s portraits, one exhibiting a stylistic coherence. Salviati’s activities as a portraitist are placed in the historical, political, cultural and artistic context of his time, with particular emphasis on patronage. Versatile and well-connected, Francesco served a number of top-ranking patrons of his time, including Cardinal Giovanni Salviati, Pier Luigi and Alessandro Farnese (in Rome), Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici (in Florence), the Grimani family (in Venice), King Henri II, and the Cardinal of Lorraine in France. This study intends to navigate portraiture’s role in the relationships between the courtier-artist and his princely patrons. Characterized by innovation and experimentation, Salviati’s portraits vary in composition, media and supports. As one of the earliest artists to produce portrait miniatures in Italy, Francesco evidently introduced the genre to Cosimo I de’ Medici’s court to create an aura of a royal court equal to that in France and England. His experiments with the use of various stone supports for portraits are discussed in relation to his status as the leading painter in Rome after the death of Sebastiano del Piombo in 1547. Lastly, the artist’s career as a book illustrator is explored to shed light on his interactions with well-known literati of his time, such as Pietro Aretino, Anton Francesco Doni and Giambattista Gelli. The designs Salviati provided for their author portraits are not only testimony to their acquaintance, but also evidence of the artist’s participation in their intellectual communities. / Thesis (Ph.D, Art History) -- Queen's University, 2013-04-29 15:59:52.863

Construção de corpos: análise de capas das revistas dirigidas aos homoeróticos masculinos / Construction of bodies: analysis of the covers of magazines directed at male homoerotic

Silva, Lilian Arruda 03 March 2011 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2015-03-26T13:44:24Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 texto completo.pdf: 3876542 bytes, checksum: 64bd0db8bf4a16f4f774b009e84ef3de (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-03-03 / The image has become one of the major persuasive elements. Kress (1997) says that the society is seeing the significative changing of valorization in the semiotic modes, specially, one changing of the verbal form to the visual of the representation and comunication. In this way, studying images is necessary, because it is related to the propagation of values and social identity constitution as well. Relegated the importance of the images in the postmodern world, we will discuss, in this assignment, the relation between image-genre social-body, based in the Visual Semiotic and in the researches in the Multimodality, once we try to analyse the Body constrution, through the covers of the magazines: G Magazine, Junior, Dom and Aimé addressed to a particular public: the homoerotic male. To do it so, we will have as theoretical support a Grammar of Visual Design written by kress and van Leeuwen (1996) which is based in the Systemic-Functional Linguistic written by Halliday (1994). We will also base this assignment studies about the social genre (FOUCAULT, 1985; SCOTT, 1990; LOURO, 1997, 2005, 2007; LAQUEUR, 2001; WEEKS, 2007; BUTLER, 2008, among others). In the perspective poststructuralist, the identities and differences are defined from the culture and history, they are social and cultural creations, therefore, they are not innate to the human being, but are actively produced and built through the power relation and through the language. Therefore, the category body, is also understood and assumed as the historical reality, so the body becomes a space of debate and reflection regarding the construction related to the genre and sex. The analysis points to a promotion of a virile body that is, consequentelly, refute a female image, therefore, the social acceptance of the homoerotics. Therefore, we can to postulate that these bodies are constantly submitted to the thuth from an hemogenic representation, with fitted, young, white bodies, with no hair or even beard, which, overestimating the male, dissolving the speech of the heteronormativity as rule or reference of behavior. / A imagem tem se tornado um dos principais elementos persuasivos. Kress (1997) argumenta que a sociedade assiste a uma mudança significativa da relativa valoração dos modos semióticos, principalmente, uma mudança da forma verbal para a visual de representação e comunicação. Nesse sentido, estudar imagens faz-se necessário, pois está relacionada não só à veiculação de valores, mas também à constituição de identidades sociais. Relegada a importância das imagens no mundo pósmoderno, discutiremos neste trabalho a relação entre imagem-gênero social-corpo, à luz dos estudos que tratam da Semiótica Visual e das pesquisas em Multimodalidade, uma vez que procuramos analisar a construção do Corpo, através das imagens das Capas das Revistas: G Magazine, Junior, Dom e Aimé dirigidas a um público particular: os homoeróticos masculinos. Para tanto, utilizaremos como aporte teórico a Gramática do Design Visual cunhada por Kress e van Leeuwen (1996) que tem por premissa básica a Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional de Halliday (1994). Utilizaremos também estudos acerca do gênero social como categoria de analítica (FOUCAULT, 1985; SCOTT, 1990; LOURO, 1997, 2005, 2007; LAQUEUR, 2001; WEEKS, 2007; BUTLER, 2008, dentre outros). Na perspectiva pós-estruturalista, as identidades e as diferenças se definem a partir da cultura e da história, são criações sociais e culturais, portanto, não são inatas aos seres humanos, mas são ativamente produzidas e construídas através das relações de poder e através da/na linguagem. Nessa vertente, a categoria corpo também é entendida e assumida como uma realidade histórica, sendo assim, o corpo torna-se um espaço de debates e reflexões a respeito da sua construção em relação ao gênero e sexo. A análise aponta para uma promoção/fortalecimento de um corpo viril que, consequentemente, refuta uma imagem afeminada facilitando, portanto, a aceitação social dos homoeróticos, já que sua aparência exterior está dentro dos padrões tidos como modelos de masculinidade. Sendo assim, podemos postular que estes corpos são submetidos constantemente a regimes de verdade normalizadores regulados a partir de uma representação hegemônica, com corpos malhados, jovem, branco, sem pelos e sem barba, que, invariavelmente, supervalorizam a masculinidade, dissipando o discurso da heteronormatividade como norma e referência de comportamento.

Homoerotisk sensibilitet : Byggandet av homosexuell identitet genom konsthistorien / Homoerotic Sensibility : The Construction of Homosexual Identity Throughout the History of Art

Varnauskas, Jacob January 2020 (has links)
The question of homoerotic sensibility is, in the purpose of this thesis, a matter of visual language connected to the portrayal of male bodies. By identifying this sensibility throughout the western art canon the essay seeks to understand its origins, development and function in relation to expressions of power. With the introduction of theorists such as Alois Riegl, Laura Mulvey, Abigail Solomon-Godeau and Raewyn Connell, the aim is to deconstruct homosexual masculinity. Adapting formal analysis and parts of visual semiotics, the focus lies on the visual expression of power through the homoerotic gaze, and asks what consequences it has in forming homosexual identity. Greek antiquity is home not only to the ideals that foster western art history, but is also where we find early examples of same-sex affection being portrayed in the arts. Hence classical antiquity is so important for the homoerotic: whenever the classical language of style is popular throughout history, we are sure to find homoerotic sensibility. For reasons mentioned, the main periods analyzed are the Italian Renaissance, the French Neoclassicism and then, naturally the late 20th century onwards as this is the period of gay liberation and modern homosexual identity.  By identifying classical acceptance of homosexual relations only in the form of a clear social hierarchy, we soon discover how homosexuality has appropriated the idea of binary difference within its masculinity throughout history. Accepting relationships only between erastes and eromenos, or man and ephebe, homosexuality is forced to exist only on the terms of difference of power. With classical ideals, these tendencies are recurring in the visual representation of male homosexuality, and becomes a big part of the liberation and forming of a modern identity in the late twentieth century. As a result of objectification of the male body, in combination with idealized and sexualized power, modern gay culture has in many ways embraced a destructive culture shaped by misogynist ideas of hegemonic culture, where sexual violence exists, but is not spoken of.
