BODY, PLACE, POWER AND AFFECTION IN CINEMÃO

STOPPING LOOK FOR THEM, STOPPING HEARD FOR THEM ...

Abstract

Reduce the appropriations that the subjects of these spaces do to a single stronghold of erotic encounters between men would incur a priori perception of the place, focusing on the analysis of the occurrence of a type of scene that takes place there over others. I start by the premise that "cinemões" work as a web of discourses and practices that tense internalized structures by the subjects in the street space (in culture) with others that are produced and traded within those places sensibilities that are the order of the day, circumstantial sensitivities. Using body experience as a research method, dialoguing with the cartographic experience sensations - such as smell-odor, light-dark, touching-distance, talking-silence - act as mediators of practical commitments and the establishment of forms of interaction and sociability supported the semantics of the dark and of anonymity.
