OLHARES DA/NA CI(S)DADE: transexualidades/travestilidades, raça e práticas nos espaços citadinos de Belém – PA “em plena luz do dia”
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-03-19) GOMES, Gleidson Wirllen Bezerra; SILVEIRA, Flávio Leonel Abreu da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1972975269922101
This thesis aims to understand the relationship between the gender transitions of trans/travestis people and their practices in urban spaces (CERTEAU, 2014) in Belém “in broad daylight”. Thus, the ethnography proposed here was elaborated from references and reflections of Urban Anthropology, in dialogue with gender, sexualities and race studies. One of its bases was the biographical narratives (ROCHA; ECKERT, 2013a) of five interlocutors who, based on their life trajectories, allow them to reflect on the issues of gender, sexuality and race involved in their daily transits through the city. In addition to the semi-structured interviews focused on life trajectories, the narratives and reflections of trans/travestis people about Belém were also used, as well as direct observations with them, using the street ethnography technique (ROCHA; ECKERT, 2013b) to describe and interpret the situations that occurred in places in Belém such as streets, squares, sidewalks, and also in their displacements in the city within bus. The ethnographic data constructed in this way were organized into “scenes”, inspired by Perlongher (1984), in which it is possible to perceive the performances (TURNER, 2015; SCHECHNER, 2012) contained therein, gestures and facial expressions, evidencing the looks of strangers in the capital of Pará as one of the micro-gestures that make up the urban interactions (GOFFMAN, 2014) of trans/travestis people, when their bodies are sometimes rejected, sometimes desired, or observed with curiosity, demonstrating part of the complexity of the urban lifestyle in this amazon city. In these games of glances, territorialities (PERLONGHER, 1984; 2008) are also perceived in their symbolic-spatial demarcations in Belém, which helps us to think about the idea of a ci(s)ty, that is, a city that has in its foundations cisgenderism and whiteness, acting in the delimitations of the concrete spaces of the city and composing part of the social relations experienced therein.

“Vai rolar essa diamba?”: uma etnografia de usos medicinais, religiosos e recreativos da maconha em um bairro periférico de Belém/PA

This work aims to identify and understand different uses of marijuana by residents of a neighborhood on the outskirts of Belém/PA. The presence of marijuana could be perceived in recreational, medicinal and religious contexts. People who live in the same territory experience police repression, spatial segregation, moral prohibition, and the high cost of the drug derived from marijuana in a scenario in which recreational use suffers strong repression, while medicinal use has its own consequences. discrete and selectively flexible access. I carried out this ethnography in different places within the neighborhood: the condominium - a well-urbanized leisure space with a landscape very different from the rest of the neighborhood; the margin - space that is divided between a fair during the day and headquarters of sound system parties during the night; and in the streets and squares - on the outskirts of both places. The first entries into the field were due to my personal experiences, which were added to what was experienced with the interlocutors in the production of ethnographic data. To protect everyone involved in the research, places and people had their names hidden or fictionalized. The results of the ethnographic work will be presented in three sections. First, we will address recreational uses, discussing differences in police repression of users based on racial criteria, and how the stereotype of the pothead has historically fallen on blacks and the poor, supporting policies of spatial segregation to this day. Then, we will present the religious uses in a candomblé terreiro in the neighborhood, in which marijuana appears as another ritual element, albeit invisible. The third section will reflect on the unequal difficulties that women in the neighborhood face in seeking health care with medical marijuana, due to a hegemonic morality, and the racism experienced in attempts to access health services.
