Da Avenida Cerqueira Lima ao Beco dos Artistas: um espaço de sociabilidade GLS
type: CreativeWork
description: This paper proposes to consider a space of homosexual sociability in Salvador, Beco dos Artistas, reflecting about how people live in this space, the meaning and sense which they attribute to it, and their practices, relations and attitudes. I also propose a reflection on the reasons for the existence of such place and the consequences of its existence, for both the visitors and the wider society. In view of those questions, I do an ethnography of the space, describe its physical and social characteristics, in order to use these data as a material for critical and theoretical reflections, trying to realize what are the social issues raised by that particular space. Therefore, the discussion on space and sexuality takes a central place in this work.
