Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze the management modalities of sexual and gender diversity in Brazilian and Mexican prisons in the context of emergence of specific rights for so-called LGBT prisoners. The focus is on male prisons of the province of Sao Paulo (Brazil) and the metropolitan area of Mexico City. I sought to understand, on the one hand, how certain institutional norms and public policies have defined (and produced) a LGBT population deprived of liberty with specific demographics, demands and rights. On the other hand, I tried to recover what this regime of sexualization and genderification of imprisoned bodies and subjectivities leaves out. What other political formations and classification systems are in the shadow but still have effects on the production of daily life in prisons? In this sense, I approached narratives and trajectories of subjects affected by this new regulatory apparatus. How do they relate to these definitions and categories? What possibilities for agency are created or limited? In other words, it is about analyzing the historical invention of LGBT prisoners as a specific subject of rights and its effects on certain identities and subjectivities. (AU)
