Abstract

POCAHY, Fernando. Ageing as performative: (homo)erotic dissidences. Ex aequo [online]. 2012, n.26, pp.43-56. ISSN 0874-5560.

This paper tries to build a problematization of the discourses of objectification aimed at older men engaged in homo/erotic practices. It also contains a theoretical reflection based on the results of a wider investigation produced during the preparation of a PhD thesis in Education. Therefore, one of the aims of the analysis was also to understand how strategies that contests the derisive meanings given to homo/sexuality and ageing are produced.

Keywords : Body; Gender; Sexuality; Ageing; Performativity; Homoeroticism; Homosexuality.
