Abstract

NASCIMENTO, Francisco Elionardo de Melo. Fanzines and LGBTI+ protagonism in the formation of penitentiary policy in Ceará. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.3, e80427.  Epub Sep 01, 2022. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2022v30v380427.

This article analyzes how the organization of LGBTI+ people resulted in policies aimed at this population within the prisons of Ceará. From the ethnographic fieldwork and the analysis of fanzines produced inside the prisons, I approach the presence of “factions” disputing with the State the (co)management of prisons and the relations of power and hierarchy among prisoners mobilized by current notions of virility, heterosexuality and violence. In this tense scenario, the production of fanzines has become an important historical and political materiality, marking the emergence of a coalition body between the LGBTI+ and configuring an instrument through which a place as a subject of rights is claimed.

Keywords : Prison; LGBTI+ people; human rights; “factions”.
