Sexuality and Violence: Analysis of a LGBT Citizenship Parade in Campo Grande- MS
This article is the result of a 20191 survey done in the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul with the participants of the “18th LGBT Citizenship Parade†of Campo Grande. The aim of the text is to discuss the issues of violence against the LGBTQIA+ population. As a result of the reserach, we have the centrality of sexuality as the main marker used to consider the situation of vulnerability of the LGBTQIA+ population that participated in the Parade. In analytical terms, at first, we present statistical data that show how sexuality and violence go hand in hand with regard to the vulnerability experiences of Campo Grande’s LGBTQIA+ population. In a second moment, from an intersectional and post-structuralist perspective, we examine the social conditions that place LGBTQIA+ people in situations of inequality when compared to the heterosexual population.
The Path from the Hustler to the Man Who Does Sex Work: Changes and Perspectives in Anglophonic Literature
This article explores the academic literature on male sex work, particularly on English-language publications. This research covers more than 150 articles and books, offering a literature review that investigates three distinct historical periods: the hustler as a social problem; the male sex worker as a vector of disease; and sex work as a profession. Our analysis reveals the development of perceptions about male sex work, highlighting its transition from a pathologizing understanding to a more professionalized recognition. Issues of identity, economics, Health, and technology are examined, demonstrating how the intersection of these factors shapes men’s experiences and lives within the sex industry. Case studies from diverse geographies illustrate the varied academic concerns, from violence and legislation to Public Health and sex tourism. This article highlights the predominance of Health in this field of study, reflecting on the implications of this concern for the dissemination and impact of knowledge about male sex work.
