“Quando o banheiro é o armário” Estudo antropológico com abordagem etnográfica sobre as práticas de sociabilidade homoerótica em Santarém-PA

Abstract

The anthropological research conducted on site in the years 2013 and 2014 in the city of Santarém (PA) back to understand the sexuality of men who relate to men performing cruising practices in public restrooms in two venues. In order to understand this practice of homoerotic sociability, through an ethnographic approach, conducted a scientific research in two men's toilets, where I noticed a "system" of codes and rules data through the styling of gaydar in the partner's achievement of process and the intention that the practice remains in "secret" between those involved as it remains over a logic of heteronormativity. Therefore, it is important to note that the bathroom is reframed, working as a bricoleur toward homo oriented interests, for these men who do not identify with a homosexual identity, but as men who seek the satisfaction of desire with other men fragmented way, transient, objective without building intimacy, but by immediate achievement.
