Tal preocupação foi materializada na grande variedade de fotografias e filmes de viagem que revelam a variedade desses personagens brincando nas ruas da então Capital Federal. Essa presença é tão característica da folia que as autoridades admitiam nos veículos de comunicação da época não conseguir reprimi-la. Este artigo buscou analisar a construção da classificação “homens em travesti” como uma categoria relacionada ao gênero e a sexualidade em dois jornais de ampla circulação na imprensa carioca: O Globo e o Última Hora no período das décadas de 1950 e 1960. O foco analítico recaiu na atenção dispensada por autoridades policiais, imprensa e especialistas, como o médico Leonídio Ribeiro, autoridade científica acionada pelos jornais da época para falar sobre os perigos que representavam os “homens em travesti” para a ordem pública.UFRGS2022-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa histórica e antropológicaapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/12046110.22456/1983-201X.120461Anos 90; Vol. 29 (2022); 1-14Anos 90; v. 29 (2022); 1-141983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/120461/88110Copyright (c) 2022 Anos 90info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSoliva, Thiago Barcelos2023-08-14T23:18:28Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/120461Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2023-08-14T23:18:28Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
