Vivendo em liberdade? Homossexualidade, diferenças e desigualdades entre brasileiros na Espanha

Abstract

The article presents results of a research done in Barcelona between 2012 and 2013. The context of the gay market in that city was the setting for the analyzes that approach differences and inequalities related to gay brazilian migrants in their daily life. Their experiences produce a contrast to discourses of touristic agents that describe Barcelona as a city of freedom and joy. Their displacements dare rules and regulations while repositioning diferences and inequalities which mark brazilian social context. When trespass national borders, migrants are produced as sexualized and racialized, which sets both social boundaries and agency fields open by the management of difference.
