Resumo: This paper aims to address the naturalization of a neoliberal individualism online, the performance of profound inequality as a sexualized stylistic resource, and the equalization of capital and sexual relations. This is done by highlighting the kinship between the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Neoliberalism. We then argue that Grindr is designed to keep us coming back to it, subjecting us to misconduct by the app developers. We then proceed to report on the data generated by the erotics of signs (BONFANTE, 2016), methodology that highlights sexual-capital performances which bring two related phenomena to our attention: the spread of neoliberal practices on Grindr and the dissemination of the perspective of sex as a commercial good. Finally, we consider the ethical and epistemological gains of our paper.

Para tanto, destaca-se o parentesco entre a Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos e o Neoliberalismo. Em seguida, argumentamos que o Grindr foi planejado para nos fazer retornar constantemente a ele, sujeitando-nos, assim, a abusos pelos desenvolvedores do aplicativo. Passamos então à análise dos dados gerados por meio da erótica dos signos (BONFANTE, 2016), metodologia que sublinha performances sexual-capitais que trazem dois fenômenos relacionados à nossa atenção: o espraiamento de práticas neoliberais no Grindr e a disseminação da perspectiva do sexo como produto comercial. Por fim, consideramos os ganhos éticos e epistemológicos do nosso trabalho.Universidade Federal Fluminense2023-01-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/5340610.22409/gragoata.v28i60.53406Gragoatá; Vol. 28 No. 60 (2023): Repensando direitos e desigualdades nos estudos de linguagem; e-53406Gragoatá; v. 28 n. 60 (2023): Repensando direitos e desigualdades nos estudos de linguagem; e-534062358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v28i60reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFenghttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/53406/34247Copyright (c) 2023 Gragoatáhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.ptinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBonfante, Gleitonde Augustinis Silva, Daniel2023-04-12T20:46:14Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/53406Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2023-04-12T20:46:14Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
