Cultura política homoerótica entre Grécia Antiga e a (pós) modernidade: cientificismo, literatura e historiografia

Abstract

During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, many French, Britain, German and North-American authors produced a set of works on the scientific, literary and historiographic fields responsible for the creation of a homoerotic discursive universe which spread a multiplicity of Greek pederasty representations in sharp opposition and challenge to the sexual morality in dominance over those countries. That discursive universe has created propitious environments to the proliferation of a lasting and insistent socio-political activism that turned possible a process of construction of homoerotic identities perceived as one of the fundamental shafts of the invention of the sexuality. The dialogues, interactions and reciprocities that have been established between that thought (homoerotic discursive universe) and that action (socio-political activism) constituted, in that long duration, a homoerotic political culture which takes shape, therefore, through a series of common traditions, groups, movements, activisms, militancies, engagements, representations, imageries, symbologies, beliefs, rituals, celebrations, life styles, identities , whose history displays the emersion of a homoerotic sensibility of the subject and an almost already bicentenarian process of identity fragmentation which have contributed to the corrosion, specially in the last decades, of the pretentiously autonomous and self-sufficient hard core of the Cartesian subject.
