0046/2022 - O novo normal no Vale das Ninfas: a Covid-19 e os circuitos de sociabilidade gay na região metropolitana do Recife/PE The new normal in Vale das Ninfas: Covid-19 and the gay sociability circuits in the metropolitan region of Recife/PE
O texto aborda os circuitos de sociabilidade de homens que fazem sexo com homens na Região Metropolitana do Recife, durante o primeiro ano de pandemia de Covid-19. Em março de 2020, com a chegada da doença no Brasil, um primeiro movimento foi caracterizado pelo deslocamento das interações para a dimensão online. A partir de junho, após distanciamento social mais rigoroso, as interações sexuais offline, a social na casa de amigos, a volta aos bares e a sociabilidade na rua foram sendo, nesta ordem, retomadas na esteira do que acontecia na sociedade abrangente. No descompasso entre o discurso negacionista do presidente da República e o protagonismo do governo estadual em implantar as medidas de distanciamento social; nas contradições geradas pela leniência em relação à aglomeração no transporte público na ida para o trabalho e as tentativas de contenção das aglomerações de lazer, produziu-se um novo normal caracterizado pelo negacionismo, onipotência e fatalismo. Entre setembro de 2020 e fevereiro de 2021, o que mais se viu foram festas, circulação ostensiva das pessoas e ausência do uso de máscara, impulsionando os números de infectados e de mortos, na normalização de uma crise sanitária sem precedentes no Brasil.
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.

Resumo (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.
