The objective is to investigate, using a multi-sited ethnographic methodology (Blommaert; Jie, 2010), how people who self-identify as Black gay men in situations of national migration perceive and deal with racism and homophobia, as well as what discursive strategies they mobilize to indexically order the social discourses that traverse their bodies and identity performances. Based on interviews and a Sexuality Line Workshop (Lima, 1988), collectively constructed with the participants, the analysis considers identities as relational, contingent, and positional processes that are constructed in the narration of experiences (Hall, 2009). In this context, metapragmatics are fundamental, since the body presents itself as the place where they exert the greatest regulatory power, operating on linguistic, vocal, and identity performances (Pinto, 2018). As an analytical proposal, this work mobilizes an orbital model of articulation of intersections, in which markers of difference are organized dynamically, through relationships of approximation and distancing, varying according to the narrative context. The analysis highlights four recurring ways of speaking in intersection, which allow us to observe metapragmatic disputes, identity reconfigurations, and different ways of dealing with inequalities, vulnerabilities, and processes of resignification. The results indicate that the narratives produce both the maintenance and displacement of social hierarchies, highlighting how race, gender, sexuality, and migration are articulated in a contradictory and historically situated way in the contemporary urban context.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/IntersecçõesMetapragmáticasMigração nacionalRaçaSexualidadeIntersectionsMetapragmaticsNational migrationRaceSexualityLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRAS::LINGUA PORTUGUESADissertação
