Resumo
Esta pesquisa busca investigar os aplicativos voltados para o estabelecimento de encontros e relações afetivos e sexuais entre o público gay, o Grindr e o Hornet, popularmente disseminados após a invenção dos smartphones nos quais é possível localizá-los geograficamente. O objetivo desta investigação foi o de traçar pistas acerca de como o estabelecimento de relações afetivas e sexuais entre homens tem se dado no contemporâneo em meio às mídias digitais. Por meio do método cartográfico, inspirado em Deleuze e Guattari, nos deparamos com algumas questões, tais como: desafios éticos e metodológicos em se fazer pesquisa da e na internet; desafios conceituais sobre as recentes mídias viabilizadas pelas novas tecnologias da informação; e sobre uma “arquitetura das escolhas” por meio da qual foi possível listar o quanto algumas características hegemônicas culturais (de gênero, de raça, de sexualidade, de capital cultural e econômico, idade, entre outras) atravessam as escolhas individuais dos usuários tornando-se determinantes nas regulações dos modos como, homens que buscam contatos sexuais e afetivos com outros homens por meio dos aplicativos, estabelecem seus contatos de modo contribuinte com o estabelecimento de um mercado do sexo e do afeto. Este mercado é caracterizado por elementos tradicionalmente neoliberais como: lei da oferta e procura, racionalização das escolhas, acentuação do individualismo por meio da competição e uma comoditização de si a fim de disputar encontros sexuais e/ou relacionamentos afetivos.
This research seeks to investigate the applications aimed at establishing affective and sexual dates and relationships between gay public, the Grindr and Hornet, popularly disseminated after the invention of smartphones in which it is possible to locate them geographically. The purpose of this investigation was to trace clues about how the affective and sexual relationships between men have taken place in the contemporary in the midst of digital medias. From a cartographic method, inspired on Deleuze and Guattari, was possible to think about some questions, such as: ethical and methodological challenges in doing research about and on the internet; conceptual challenges about the recent medias made viable by the new information technologies; and about a “architecture of romantic choices” from which was possible to list some hegemonic culture elements (gender, race, sexuality, culture and economic capital, age, among others) that crosses the individual choices of the users, getting itself deterministic on the way how, men that search sex and affective contacts with another men through the applications, establish their relationships in a contributing way with the establishment of sexual and affective market. This market is characterized by neoliberal traditionally elements, such as: law of supply and demand, an increase of rationalism and the individualism through of competition permitted by a commoditization of the self to compete for sexual dates and affective relationships.
