| Abstract | |
In this dissertation I analyze how a multiplicity of people, desires, affections and urgencies composes the spaces of Casa 1 on a daily basis. Located in the Bela Vista neighborhood, São Paulo downtown, Casa 1 is a shelter for LGBTQIA + young people expelled from home\'s family and also a Cultural Center and a Social Clinic attended by countless people. Exploring the politics with the street undertaken by Casa 1, I try to show how this place is composed as multiple and unforeseen external presences come to inhabit it. By describing the policy of open and visible doors to the street, I show how the neighborhood produces a series of bonds with Casa 1. In addition to these bonds with the neighborhood, the opened doors to the street create a series of other types of bonds based on the relations and appropriations established by a heterogeneous exterior. Thus, as an effect of this policy with the street, I explore how the composition of Casa 1 derives from numerous types of coalitions that are not restricted to an identity policy of shelter. This shelter policy is shown in the ways in which the residents produce the domestic environment of the dwelling place on a daily basis. From their narratives, I show how the intimacy of this place is produced through loving relationships, fights, friendships and group formations. I also show how the dwelling place is understood by LGBTQIA + young people as a safe space that is, thus, opposed to the images of the family home and of the street. It is through this safe space that the lives of these young people begin to be structured and transformed. Finally, I describe, from the memories of the family home and the street, how desires and bodies are daily denied, violated and confiscated. In contrast to these places, the presence of Casa 1, through its aid, allows these LGBTQIA + young people to live in other ways in the present and also to create other ways of elaborating the future. This dissertation is the result of my daily meetings forged with Casa 1, with the sheltered LGBTQIA + young people and also with the multiple other presences that compose it. (AU) | |
