Resumo
Nesta pesquisa, analisamos as representações das masculinidades veiculadas e criticadas pelo jornal Lampião da Esquina, que circulou no país de 1978 a 1981, um período marcado pela abertura política. Foi o primeiro periódico a tratar desse tema e ter alcance nacional, além de abordar diversas questões políticas, buscando (re)construir a identidade do homossexual no Brasil. Através das óticas dos estudos de gênero, sexualidade e teóricos queer, examinamos os discursos nele veiculados. Desses discursos, selecionamos aqueles ligados às cisões dentro do movimento, relacionados com pautas específicas ou posicionamentos partidários, surgimentos de grupos em outros espaços fora dos eixos urbanos RIO\SP, tensão entre o movimento e o jornal. Assim, discursos médicos, jurídicos, midiáticos, publicitários em relação ao termo bicha e os embates em torno dele são algumas das discussões veiculadas no Lampião e que nos serviram para compreender as (re)construções das masculinidades no período, assim como a identidade homossexual e os estereótipos que reproduziram e desconstruíram essas masculinidades. Lampião, ao se inserir no debate sobre a sexualidade, a masculinidade e a homossexualidade, contribuiu para a formação e divulgação de ideias menos preconceituosas, bem como influenciou diversos grupos: professores, estudantes, trabalhadores, militantes, políticos, médicos, juristas, jornalistas... a pensarem sobre a sexualidade de forma menos rígida, contribuindo para transformações culturais e para a (re)educação sexual do período.
In this work, we seek to analyze the representations of masculinities conveyed and criticized by Lampião da Esquina. Newspaper that circulated in the country from 1978 to 1981, period of political opening. This was the first homosexual newspaper to have national reach, besides addressing several political issues, seeking to (re) build the identity of the homosexual in Brazil. Through the optics of studies of gender, sexuality and queer theorists we intend to examine the discourses conveyed in the journal. The discussions that we work in Lampião, are linked to splits within the movement, related to: specific agendas or party positions, emergence of groups in other spaces outside the urban axes RIO \ SP, tension between movement and the newspaper. Medical speeches, jurists, media, advertisements in relation to the term queer and the clashes around him are some of the discussions conveyed in Lampião that will serve us to understand the (re) constructions of masculinities in the period, as well as homosexual identity, stereotypes, reproduced and deconstructed these masculinities. Lampião, by inserting himself in the debate about sexuality, masculinity and homosexuality, contributes to the formation and dissemination of less prejudiced ideas. Influence diverse groups: teachers, students, workers, activists, politicians, doctors, lawyers, journalists thinking about sexuality in less rigid ways, thus contributes to cultural transformations and to the sexual (re)education of the period.
