SUMMARY:

Throughout the course of this essay, I present, conceptualize and analyze the occurrence of
what I call masculinidade bicha [faggot masculinity]. From this, I debate on the discursive
positions that allow certain men to exercise their masculinities in a non-hegemonic way.
Knowing that “bicha” is an expression used in an insulting way, the following research problem
began to be constituted: how can gender studies contribute to understanding how some men
take for themselves, in a positive way, a marginalized identity? Based on this concern, I
constituted the main objective of the work to insert the masculinidade bicha in gender and
sexuality studies that deal with the Brazilian context by doing a research engaged with the
perspective of human rights. In other words, with the work I intend to expand the studies of
Brazilian masculinities having as a starting and ending point the bicha perspective. For the
development of the investigation, various contributions were mobilized in an transdisciplinary,
interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary way, such as queer theories and feminist theories from
different perspectives, gender studies, masculinity studies, decolonial studies, cultural studies,
among others. The corpus worked on in the research is, at first, a thematic analysis on the great
theme of Brazilian masculinities, and later the analysis of three narrative interviews carried out
with men who recognize themselves in the spectrum of the bicha in order to understand how
these subjects constitute an image of themselves and their masculinities in the gendered world.
As a result, it was possible to verify that the bicha identity is articulated from belonging to a
support group, which is composed of other bichas and LGBTQIA+ people, in addition to
establishing relationships that are also differentiated from markers such as race and class.
