Um novo olhar para a virilidade: a ressignificação do fenômeno a partir de protagonistas de Daniel Galera e Antônio de Pádua

Abstract

Virility is a phenomenon that is configured as masculine performances. As the centuries passed, elagression came to be the ideal attributes of masculinity, such as violence, violence, honor, heterosexuality, and the time. However, society has changed with the advent of social transformations, such as feminist movements, in social thought and forms of production. Thus, virility, little by little, lost space in this new world. In view of this, it is born from this dissertation, which consists of asking about the existence of virility in masculinities what exists in the current literature, how are they? I raise the hypothesis that, although the protagonists distance themselves from the concept of the real man understood in the perspective of Nolasco (1997), they are virile. The thesis is defended that virility underwent a process of sedimentation, that the impediment of how the evolutionary process happened throughout civilizations. In this sense, the objective of the research is analyzed as the works Barba ensopada de sangue (GALERA, 2012) and Por enquanto, outra estação (PÁDUA, 2014) in order to launch a new look at virility according to performances or cultural practices. of the protagonists. To achieve what was proposed, I sought theoretical basis in the studies undertaken by Georges Vigarello (2013) with his investigation of virility, its genesis until the arrival of modernity, projected as changes that the phenomenon projected with the cultural exchanges of the time. Alain Courbin (2013) that discusses virility within modernity and how industrial revolutions and rational thinking can influence the ways of being and being human. Jean-Jacques Courtine (2013) with his reflections on the changes in what is understood as virile in the passage from modernity to the contemporary world. In Nolasco (1995; 1997) I find ideas for thinking about masculinity from a psychoanalytic and behavioral point of view. Another crucial author is Robert Connell (1995) as he was the pioneer and owner of one of the most important works on masculinity as a plural gender. Finally, Albuquerque Júnior (2013) with his study on the man from the northeastern scenario.
