Heteromelancolia no Rio de Janeiro

20/8/2022

 

Um suspiro das mulheres espanholas em relação aos homens cariocas

PT:
Este capítulo aborda etnograficamente o dilema vivido por mulheres espanholas heterossexuais e liberadas que constroem uma relação de solidariedade com grupos queer no Rio de Janeiro mas expressam sentimentos de heteromelancolia. Aparentemente contra sua vontade, elas relatam momentos de tristeza quanto à queerização da população masculina do Rio de Janeiro naquilo que é, para elas, um processo crescente. Em diálogo com os comentários delas sobre esses encontros, registrados entre 2014 e 2020, ofereço percepções etnográficas sobre sua experiência distinta de diferença interseccional e conexão parcial com pessoas queer. Essas relações foram ofuscadas pela heteromelancolia que advém das tensões entre a liberação feminista/queer e o desejo heteronormativo.

Hetero-melancholia in Rio de Janeiro

A sigh of Spanish women in relation to local men

EN:
This chapter ethnographically engages with the conundrum experienced by straight liberated Spanish women who encounter in solidarity with queer people in Rio de Janeiro but express their feelings of hetero-melancholia. Seemingly against their will, they conveyed moments of sadness in face of the queering of Rio de Janeiro’s male population, to them, an advancing process. Engaging with the commentaries on such encounters, recorded between 2014 and 2020, I offer ethnographic insights into their distinct experience of intersectional difference from, and partial connection with, queer people. These relations were overshadowed by hetero-melancholia, born out of the tensions between feminist/queer liberation and heteronormative desire.
