A constituição do sujeito soropositivo e seus trajetos de (des) amor

Abstract

This dissertation aims to reflect about the amorous and sexual trajectories of positive HIV people. This research is characterized by two different periods of contact with participants. The first time, we conducted a mapping, using of structured interviews, with the help of field journal, where it was possible to contact a larger number of participants. It was important for a wider view on the main strategies used by these people to experience the love and sex from the discovery of the positive diagnosis for HIV. In the second stage of the research, we sought a deeper reflection, with attention to subjectivity, through in-depth interviews for life story. Four interviews were conducted with people of different genders, sexual orientation and generation. The narratives produced by individuals interviewed in two moments of research have shown us the importance of a questioning in the context of public health, the discourses that make subjects positions and go through their lives conforming subjectivities, regulatory ideals, disciplinary and biopolitical of modern Western society. Accordingly, in basis of the discourse analysis from Foucault, we propose highlight this subjects, hindered in their rights, by discursive network consisting of relations of know/power so complex and multifaceted. We analyze the discourses of aids, of risk, of romantic love and of the challenge related to the revelation of the positive diagnosis for HIV, which emerged in the various interviews. It was possible to realize the many exclusions, demarcations and impossibilities generated by these discourses. Supporting on the feminist theories, we seek to find possibilities of subversion of the standard, as a form of resistance and confrontation, privileging the Stories of our interlocutors, as a provocation built by many voices.
