O Buraco da Lacraia na Lapa Carioca: relações homoafetivas e distintas territorialidades, em um espaço de vivencias LGBT

Abstract

A symbolic construction of Buraco da Lacraia is crystallized in the imagination of its customers and the team that has been making nights in this space for over 30 years. The nightclub brings some stigmas that have been changed over time and new schedules that arrive at the house. Therefore, try to present as transitions that have occurred and continue to occur. In this way, Buraco da Lacraia is a rich and complex territory where there are various lifestyles, ethics, networks of friendships and solidarity, cultural interventions, a strong discourse of social resistance, in addition to being an LGBT microterritory and where many people have the possibility to express a sexuality. Therefore, our general objective in this dissertation is to analyze the singularities of Buraco da Lacraia as a microterritoriality aimed at the LGBT public in Lapa Carioca and to reflect on the respect of the changes and reconfigurations that occur in Buraco da Lacraia in its 30 years of age. And as specific objectives we will seek to analyze Buraco da Lacraia and its identity on André Cavalcanti street and Lapa carioca; Discuss the importance of Bairro da Lapa as a space for cultural expression. The path of investigation chosen for the work will be that of the logic of discovery guided by the central question which is the following discussion: What is the role played by Buraco da Lacraia for the LGBT population? Such questioning arises as an initial condition to understand the specificities of the Buraco da Lacraia microterritory in the current context. In an attempt to answer the central question, subquestions are imposed such as: What makes Buraco da Lacraia exist and (re) exist in Lapa as an LGBT microterritory for so many years? How was the LGBT identity of the house built around the demands of the night in Rio? To what extent does the socio-economic reality of the Lapa neighborhood explain the existence and resistance of Buraco da Lacraia as a space for entertainment aimed at the LGBT audience ?. Therefore, it was possible to conclude that the nightclub brings with it some stigmas that have been changed over time and that it has always gone through moments of reinvention and bringing new schedules that come home with the aim of moving and bringing more visitors to this space. Therefore, we seek to present some of these transitions that occurred and continue to occur in Buraco da Lacraia and how this space expresses a strong microterritoriality. In addition, we can say that the house is full of political acts, diversity and LGBT representativeness, which come not only from its regulars, but also from the owner, employees and also from the artists who perform shows of acid and politicized humor.
