O espectro do patrimônio homossexual e sáfico brasileiro nas páginas do Lampião da Esquina

Abstract

Abstract

We constantly ask ourselves what the role of literature in the world is and who they serve and interest, and what role the media plays in mediating and disseminating about the Other in literature. The main question that guides us is to ask ourselves about the role of Lampião da Esquina in the mediatization of authors and books aimed at the Brazilian gay and lesbian readers. Between the 1970s and 1980s, the newspaper Lampião da Esquina, whose founder was Darcy Penteado, considered books and literature not only as an aesthetic and leisure aspect. In this study, we navigate together – authors and readers – in a possibility of reading the external literary memory for people who understand and recognize themselves as Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transsexuals and Transvestites, Queer, Intersexuals, Asexuals and others (LGBTQIA+). Finally, note that the literature for Lampião da Esquina were an emancipating agent, which by books could representing the world could transform its readers.
