No Feirão do Chope: um estudo antropológico sobre intersecções entre marcadores sociais da diferença em um bar na região periferizada de Goiânia

Abstract

This Master’s Dissertation is resultant of an ethnographic study carried out in the “Feirão do Chope”, a bar located in a ‘peripheralized’ region of Goiânia (capital of the State of Goiás, Brazil). The main goal of this work is to analyze and understand the processes of constitution of identities, subjectivities and social belongings experienced by young people in this space of leisure and nocturnal sociability. To do so, I focused the fieldwork and the data production on one of the networks of friendship and sociability among the various established in the “Feirão”. Thus, I inquired informants and observed aspects that could raise questions about how the formulation of the elements that make up subjectivities and social belongings happens. I sought to rescue and deconstruct the artificial association between ‘periphery’ and ‘blackness’, which naturalizes a place that concentrates low income population and that is away from the urban economic centers as ‘black’s place’, and to problematize the effects of the eroticization of the black men’s body in this social context. Finally, I want to emphasize that I attempted to produce an analysis based mainly on the intersection between the categories of gender, sexuality and race to produce an investigation and formulate knowledge about and from a marginalized place.
