Abstract(s)
O crescente fluxo imigratório para Portugal evidencia o contexto das sociedades globalizadas.
Especificamente, observa-se a forte presença de pessoas brasileiras no território português, perfazendo a maior comunidade imigrante neste contexto. Tendo isso por base, a presente dissertação buscou compreender as percepções de pessoas imigrantes LGBT brasileiras em Portugal, acerca de suas redes pessoais e agência. De modo a alcançar uma compreensão interseccional das experiências partilhadas, este trabalho levou em consideração os diferentes marcadores identitários de raça, classe, gênero e orientação sexual. A partir da conjugação de três eixos teóricos distintos, nomeadamente, teoria da interseccionalidade, estudos da imigração queer e sociologia relacional, buscou-se uma compreensão pormenorizada a partir
da escuta das experiências das pessoas participantes desta pesquisa, que se constituiu por entrevistas individuais em profundidade com 15 pessoas autoidentificadas como brasileiras LGBT residentes em diferentes zonas de Portugal continental. Adicionalmente, optou-se pelo uso do mapa dos círculo concêntricos, como um recurso visual, a fim de caracterizar as redes pessoais das pessoas participantes. A nível de resultados, foram observadas experiências de xenofobia (de ordem verbal), e percepção de maior segurança no contexto português.
Ademais, foi possível compreender o acesso de capital social disponível através das redes pessoais. Embora tenha sido identificada predominância do sentimento de não pertencimento e do constrangimento da capacidade de ação por situações estruturais, observou-se a nível das atitudes grupais, estratégias de fortalecimento coletivo e homofilia, e criação de novos significados de família a partir de práticas de cuidado e solidariedade.
The growing immigration flow to Portugal highlights the context of globalized societies. Specifically, there is a strong presence of Brazilian people in the Portuguese territory, making up the largest immigrant community in this context. Based on it, this dissertation seeks to understand the perceptions of LGBT Brazilian immigrants living in Portugal, regarding their personal networks and agency. In order to cast an intersectional understanding of the shared experiences, this work considered the different dimensions of identity such as race, class, gender and sexual orientation. From the conjugation of three distinct theoretical axes, namely, intersectional theory, queer migration studies and relational sociology, a detailed understanding was sought from listening to the people participating in this research, which was constituted from 15 in-depth individual interviews with people self-identified as Brazilians LGBT living in different areas of mainland Portugal. Additionally, we chose to use the concentric circles map strategy, as a visual resource, in order to map participants’ personal networks. In terms of results, experiences of verbal xenophobia and the perception of greater security in the Portuguese context were observed. Furthermore, it was possible to understand the access to social capital available through personal networks. Although a predominance of the feeling of not belonging and the constraint of the agency was identified due to structural situations, it was observed at the level of group attitudes, collective strengthening strategies, and the creation of new meanings of family based on care and solidarity practices
