Post-liberalism and the politics of liberation: Brazilian favelas as emergent territories of freedom
Brazilian favelas (shantytowns) are often considered as marginalized urban territories that must be better integrated into the nation-state to obtain legitimacy under the Rule of Law. Based on years of fieldwork in one of the largest shantytowns in Rio de Janeiro (Rocinha), this article suggests that the absence of a (normative) liberal apparatus in favelas is not necessarily a political deficiency, but evidence of post-liberalism. Can favela dwe…
Politics of matter and politics of ontology
In the favela, coming out was not necessarily a process marked by a singular moment that coincided with the beginning of an independent adult life. It was not a matter of verbal identification, either, of clearly voicing one’s sexual orientation, desires, or subjectivity. Instead, queer liberation among my friends in Rocinha was deeply connected to the capacity of a bodily type of metamorphosis, either in the sexual use of the body ... , in the c…
Striptease etnográfico: Cenas Queer De Uma Favela Carioca
Este artigo apresenta episódios relacionados à sexualidade não-normativa (e principalmente gay) na vida cotidiana de moradoras(es) da Favela da Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro. Escrevo-o empregando um gênero de escrita que denomino de "striptease etnográfico", o qual oferece uma imagem menos "clínica" do sexo e mais próxima de uma "arte erótica". Minha conceptualização é baseada na proposta foucaultiana de distinguir duas formas de produção do conhecimen…
Minoritarian Liberalism: A Travesti Life in a Brazilian Favela
Ontologia da confusão: Exu e o Diabo dançam o 'Samba do Crioulo Doido
Argumenta-se que repertórios de saberes “religiosos” facilitam o reconhecimento e a compreensão de uma grande variedade de instâncias (ontológicas) de confusão. O método utilizado na investigação é etnográfico e recursivo. Parte da confusão que se manifesta na própria capacidade de reconhecer uma confusão deriva justamente da condição de que não há posição epistemológica fixa ou neutra para servir como base a partir da qual seria possível arbitra…

Ontological confusion: Eshu and the Devil dance toThe Samba of the Black Madman
What does it take to recognise “confusion” as a particular form in itself? This text explores how different types of knowledge inflect the way that some Brazilian favela (shantytown) dwellers experience and deal with confusion in their daily lives. I contend that religious grammars of confusion may enable the recognition and understanding of a wide variety of other (ontological) forms of confusion in the daily life of different groups living in F…
Queer sex vignettes from a Brazilian favela: An ethnographic striptease
This article presents episodes of gay sex in the daily lives of people from a Brazilian shantytown (favela). It does so through a writing genre I call 'ethnographic striptease', which offers a picture of sexuality that is less 'clinical' and more similar to the form of an 'erotic art'. This is based on the Foucauldian proposed distinction between two forms of knowledge discussed in History of Sexuality, Volume I: 'scientia sexualis' and 'ars erot…
