"A única coisa que nos une é o desejo": produção de si e sujeitos do desejo na vivência da homossexualidade em Campina Grande/PB.

Abstract

The work that is presented here has as subject the experience of the homossexuality at Campina Grande/PB. During its production, many had been the resignificance and changes. We leave of the choice for working to leave of interviews with men homoerotic desired, with more than forty years, residents of Campina Grande, and that they had lived here enters decades of 1970/1980. Launching hand of the conceptual support of the Cultural Studies, in its expression After-Estruturalist, we worry about the paper of the language in the significance of the world and itself, taking in consideration the historicity and contingency of the citizens. From this, we argue on the process of identification that these men establish (or not) with the cultural codes and the referring meanings to its desires, to its practical sexual, its relation with others, to the identities that presented and/or attributed to them, to the experience with the signs of the manliness, while homoerotic desired. The production of itself while citizens of the desire, ours interviewed made possible to question the supposed essentiality of the citizen, the solid identities, the naturalization of the manliness, theirs explanations denounce the frequent negotiation enters practical of its desires and requirements of the cultural codes which they are involved. If it is possible to observe a trend in categorizing the men who desire other men, treating them while one class, with all homogeneity that this term estimates, its narratives suggest that only thing that join them is the desire, that is anarchical and contradictory.
