SUMMARY:

This thesis investigates public homoerotic practices among women during the Carnival of Recife and Olinda, exploring how this festive context fosters a unique expansion of women’s sexual experiences. The study examines “hooking up” between women as a phenomenon that challenges heteronormative norms and reflects the complex dynamics of gender, desire, and power in contemporary Brazilian society. Through a feminist ethnography conducted in 2023 and 2024, the research employs participant observation and interviews to examine how women negotiate and express their sexualities in public spaces during Carnival. The research reveals how Carnival functions as a temporary territory of resistance and liberation, where social and sexual norms are challenged and rewritten. This dynamic allows new forms of expression of female sexuality in the public space, within a context that actively seeks to suppress the freedom of these women through coercion and violence. It is concluded that these practices not only challenge heteronormativity but also offer valuable insights into forms of resistance and (re)existence in the face of prevailing power structures, contributing to a deeper understanding of gender and sexuality dynamics in Brazilian society.
