Abstract

This project gives continuity to research FAPESP 2015/16721-4, aimed to the understanding of the category "LGBTI refugees", based on research carried out in two distinct national contexts (Brazil and Spain). This project proposes to deepen understanding on a) the implications of this category in terms of the relationship between violence, nation and subjects and b) the activisms and agency carried out by immigrants and refugees who are interpellated by the category of "LGBTI refugees" given the precarious conditions they face. The general objective is to work on these two fronts, based on a review of literature on the subject in the Social Sciences and related areas, on the ethnographic material already produced in previous research and on a new field research in USA, with Brazilian immigrants and asylum seekers.
