O estudo visa compreender a vivência das masculinidades em contexto prisional,
partindo das experiências narradas em entrevista pelos indivíduos que cumpriram pena
de prisão efetiva, contribuindo para adensar o conhecimento das masculinidades num
contexto em que os indivíduos do sexo masculino são formal e obrigatoriamente
colocados em função do seu sexo, permanecendo aí o tempo equivalente ao da duração da sua pena. Analisam-se os modos como as masculinidades se redefinem nas
experiências subjetivas dos próprios, interpretam-se os processos através dos quais os
sistemas de hierarquia de poder e domínio influenciam as masculinidades dos sujeitos e
compreendem-se as formas de lidar com a alteração, ainda que transitória, entre uma
masculinidade hegemónica e uma masculinidade subordinada. Os resultados revelam que a preservação de uma masculinidade dominante para por um processo de exacerbação dos traços e caraterísticas de papel social masculino tradicional, evitando, deste modo, ser identificado como “menos homem” e as interações com os outros reclusos o remeterem para uma masculinidade subordinada – que implica a prestação de favores sexuais e, por vezes, violência psicológica, física e sexual.
These study aims to understand the experience of masculinities in a prison context, starting from the experiences narrated in an interview by individuals who served effective prison time, contributing to deepen the knowledge of masculinities in a context in which male individuals are formally and mandatorily placed according to their gender, remaining there the time equivalent to the duration of their sentence. The ways in which masculinities are redefined in their subjective experiences, the processes through which the systems of hierarchy of power and domain influence the masculinities of the subjects are understood, and the ways of dealing with the alteration, although transitory, between a hegemonic masculinity and a subordinate masculinity are understood. The results reveal the preservation of a dominant masculinity for an exacerbation of traits and characteristics of traditional male social role, thus avoiding being identified as "less man" and interactions with other prisoners refer him to a subordinate masculinity – which implies the provision of sexual favors and sometimes, psychological, physical and sexual violence.
