This dissertation investigates the problem of the formation of Brazilian Homosexual Movement in its relation to the cycle of protests in liberalization and Brazilian political redemocratization, 1978-1982. We have as theoretical direction the perspective of the theory of the political process, this work has sought to provide an alternative explanation that treats the internal social dynamics of the homosexual movement, but also connect this dynamics to the broader political context. The main argument was to discover the ties of the phenomenon with their environment, i. e, the cycle of protest liberalization from 1978 to 1982 and explain why this movement has arisen at that specific time. The central hypothesis is that the inclusion of activists in certain free spaces, provided by the cultural opportunities, allowed these activists reframing of the dimensions of political conflict. These opportunities were the activities of alternative media and the underground artistic field. These two areas of production and distribution of symbolic goods functioned as mobilization structures. The insertion of these activists in these spaces and the consumption of countercultural symbolic goods resulted in political frames and repertoires of collective action that builded the construction of a collective political individualist aesthetic. This combination made it possible to produce an aesthetic of homosexuality and the collective construction of a political identity outside of \"gay ghetto\" and vocal political homosexuals. (AU) | |
