O PERIFÉRICO NU: AS FOTOGRAFIAS HOMOERÓTICAS MASCULINAS DE ALAIR GOMES E ROTIMI FANI-KAYODE.

The aim is to examine the similarities and differences between the works of Alair Gomes and Rotimi Fani-Kayode. The central argument points out that both sought to exploit the subversive potential of homoeroticism by bringing to light the existence of dissident spaces and times that destabilize repulsive norms to homoerotic sociability. Gomes revealed subversive spaces in which the desire for the naked male body and the pleasure of the voyeur could be instigated and developed narratives that captured the spontaneity and sensuality of the moment. Fani-Kayode emphasized the spatial and cultural deplacement and the multiple temporalities that coexisted in the same environment. He questioned hierarchies based on the spiritual and homoerotic fantasy and the exaltation of cultural and sexual difference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
