Onde é o after? Modo de vida, multidões queer e masculinidades no pedaço gay em Goiânia

Abstract

The present study aims to map the lifestyles in the gay part of Goiânia. These lifestyles are created and devised from the politics of the queer crowds, outlined by the following issues: the being together, relationships between men and friendships as lifestyles that can give rise to a gay culture, ethics and aesthetics. In so far as they point to the contestation of logocentrism, they highlight the traits, flows, changes and desires that intersect and affirm themselves in the festive homosocialitiesand in the assemblages of masculinities that territorialize, deterritorialize and reterritorialize processes of subjectivation of the minorities, the abject beings. From the party planners' meetings we can reflect on the constitution of ways of life that pass between gender issues and the flows and overflows of the party itself. The festive territories are made up of multiple and Dionysian landscapes where joy is constituted as a superior way of life. However, the tragic aspect of the party makes the risks, instabilities and dangers also present in the composition of its landscapes.
