SUBJECTIVITY AS A METHODOLOGICAL GUIDE IN COMMUNICATION RESEARCH

SEXUALITY, GENDER AND RACIALITY IN THE SCIENTIFIC SCOPE

Abstract

This article presents a theoretical elaboration constructed from subjective crossings in the making of a master’s thesis in communication, drawing on displacements and autobiographical materials that come together in a cartography of resistances. Taking as its starting point the research object, the homosexual newspaper Lampião da Esquina, the text develops a reflection that articulates decolonial epistemologies, embodied memories, and political gesture in friction with dominant norms. The article operates by highlighting the historical, social, and affective tensions that traverse dissident subjects in the Latin American context.
