Acesso em:1984-6487https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/10362This paper proposes an analysis, based on interviews conducted in the project “‘To enter into a world that is not mine’: sexual initiation in interviews with poor young people and middle classes in the city of Belém (Pará), Brazil”. It analyzed the “sexual scripts” of young women and men (heterosexual and homosexual), residing in “central” and “peripheric” areas in Belém, the capital of Pará, Brazil. Our locus of research was the institution Casa do Estudante Universitário do Pará (CEUP), with locations in a middle class/upper middle class neighborhood, and in the Guamá suburb, a “periphery” of Belém. We emphasize the significant role of families of origin in the reproduction of social and sexual conduct, and the different ways interviewees manage sexual initiation according to beliefs and imaginaries situated at the intersection of gender, sexuality and race/color.Acesso AbertoJovens - Iniciação sexualSexualidadeAntropologia socialFamília (Sociologia)InterseccionalidadesSexual initiationYoung peopleLower classesDos imaginários sobre a iniciação sexual: intersecções de gênero, raça/cor e sexualidade entre jovens de camadas populares em Belém, ParáThe imaginary about sexual initiation: intersections of gender, race/color and sexuality between young people of the lower classes in the city of Belém (Pará), BrazilLos imaginarios sobre la iniciación sexual: intersecciones de género, raza/color y sexualidade entre los jóvenes de las clases bajas en la ciudad de Belém (Pará), BrazilArtigo de PeriódicoCNPQ::OUTROS::CIENCIAS SOCIAIShttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1984-6487.sess.2017.25.05.a
