Abstract
- 'Cruising' is popularly known among LGBT subjects as actions targeted towards sexual purposes, ranging from flirtation to sexual acts themselves. In this paper we observe that there are some codes of behavior related to 'cruising', and that it draws up a specific geography that organizes specific places, ways and urban circuits. The 'cruising', beyond a simple enjoyment and an exercise of desire, is linked to the transgression of a set of institutions and heteronormative materialities. Such actions are spatial experience singularities as well as they organize unique spatialities. They exist in different urban contexts, and, in this paper, we analyze some case studies gathered in the cities of Presidente Prudente (SP) and Vitória da Conquista (BA), Brazil. We seek to develop here a phenomenical study on 'cruising', whose data refer to the researcher's experience in the actions and contexts highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
