Uma análise sociológica sobre a homossexualidade na obra Em nome do desejo de João Silvério Trevisan.

Abstract

The present work proposes to carry out an investigation about the work In the name of the Desire (1983), where it is possible to establish an imbrication between the life of Trevisan and its literary production, for dealing with a scenario that permeated his childhood, that is, the narrative is happening in a Seminary of Parents, in the space in which the author, not only lived during his childhood / adolescence, but where he began to develop his political activities. The goal is to understand how sexuality among boys is brought to discourse. We will try to emphasize the study in the scope of how the desire is sacralized by the relationship within the seminary. Thus, it is based on the understanding that desire is not abstract, in order to be subject to the limits of the norm, but that the relation between boys is taken as part of the agency that, performatively, is constituted through the norm. In this sense, the experience of the flesh is experienced, as much as sin, as part of spiritual asceticism. Taking the mystical experience as a conciliation between flesh and spirit, reflecting on the carnation of the image of Jesus in order to produce the meaning of love, affection and passion among boys in the seminary. Finally, the basis of the Trevisan experience is taken as a reference, in order to understand how belonging to a generation provided an intense political activity to posture as a critical intellectual of his time.
