Abstract:

The text addresses the sociability circuits of ‘men who have sex with men’ in the Metropolitan Region of Recife during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. In March 2020, with the arrival of the epidemic in Brazil, a first movement was characterized by the shift of interactions to the online dimension. From June onwards, after stricter social distancing, offline sexual interactions, social interactions at friends\' houses, the return to bars and sociability on the street were, in this order, resumed, in the wake of what was happening in the wider society. In the mismatch between the negationist speech of the President of the Republic and the role of the state government in implementing measures of social distance; in the contradictions generated by the indulgence in relation to the agglomeration in public transport on the way to work and the attempts to contain the leisure agglomerations, a ‘new normal’ was produced characterized by negativism, omnipotence and fatalism. Between September 2020 and February 2021, what we saw most were parties, ostentatious circulation of people and the absence of wearing a mask, boosting the numbers of infected and dead, in the normalization of an unprecedented health crisis.
