The overall questions that guided the research were: what are the possible experiences that people develop from the books? How and why do they establish relationships with this object? In which way aspects of gender and sexuality became part of these links? What does the emergency or the new forms of naming such artifacts inform us? In order to pursue these questions, I have done fieldwork with participant observation in book releases, literary debates and ?saraus? organized by several individuals in diverse spaces of the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Therefore, it was possible to apprehend the people of the books and the books of the people with the purpose to understand and explain the sense of their actions, responsible for creating a network of relations that aims to construct what I call "the world of LGBT books" in which objects, people and values circulate A presente disserta??o versa sobre a emerg?ncia de ?livros de literatura LGBT? promovidos por autores, Editoras e editores engajados no processo de sua cria??o e defesa. As perguntas gerais que nortearam a pesquisa foram: quais as poss?veis experi?ncias que as pessoas desenvolvem com os livros? Como e por que estabelecem rela??es com este objeto? De que maneira aspectos de g?nero e sexualidade passam a compor estes v?nculos? O que a emerg?ncia ou novas formas de nomea??o de tais artefatos nos permitem perceber? Para dar conta destes questionamentos, desenvolvi trabalho de campo com observa??o participante em lan?amentos de livros, debates liter?rios e saraus de literatura organizados por in?meros indiv?duos nos mais variados espa?os da cidade do Rio de Janeiro e em S?o Paulo. Deste modo foi poss?vel apreender as pessoas dos livros e os livros das pessoas com fins a compreender e explicar o sentido de suas a??es, respons?veis por conformar uma rede de rela??es que visam construir o que denomino por ?mundo dos livros LGBTs?, no qual circulam objetos, pessoas e valores
