This article makes use of the constitution of (homo)sexualities and socio-spatial disputes in certain Brazilian "peripheries". Specifically, it is the synthesis of the results of a doctoral research in anthropology concerning "peripheries", sociabilities and disputes between homosexual men at bars situated in "peripheral" areas of the cities of São Paulo and Belém, Brazil. The starting point of the ethnography was the scrutiny of specific bars frequented by different publics, favouring the interlocutors' handling of the manner in which they negotiate identifications and disputes, with a view to understanding the meanings and significations given to "periphery". In this sense, the emic notion making out with the city served as a point of elucidation to qualify and materialise different modes of space production, especially in Brazilian urban "peripheries", directly interfering in the ways in such cities are accessed and desired
