Homosexuals in movement: reflections on desire and displacement

Abstract

The present text sustains a reflection between sexuality and space, understanding that the framework is complex and diverse; the meanings, the representations, the speeches and the practices that are developed in this imbrication operate in a heteroclite way, so looking for those instruments —epystemic, theoretical and methodological— that account for these relationships is not a simple task. For this reason, we propose to problematize and address in a theoretical-methodological manner the relationship proposed above. An existing relationship between space and sexuality is found in the study of displacements. Although all subjects move around and in space —from one place to another, from one area to another— some displacements are made more or less permanently. In this sense, there are displacements made by certain subjects with particular purposes: flight, escape, anonymity, exile as examples of it, allow us to reflect on these figures.
