Este trabalho contribui com a discussão sobre a migração sexual, unindo o HIV/Aids à relação espacial, a partir de perspectivas complementares, como as práticas do cotidiano de Certeau (1984) são adequadas à migração sexual de Carrillo (2004, 2010) sob a óptica da Nação Heterossexual de Ochy Curiel (2013). Essa revisão bibliográfica é complementada por Susan Sontag (1984, 1989) ao discutir os efeitos das metáforas sobre a doença e sobre o HIV/Aids na vida social de pessoas com HIV. As práticas do cotidiano de um homem, homossexual e migrante, moldam-se às implicações heteronormativas da família, símbolo da nação heterossexual, e às limitações de se relacionar afetiva e sexualmente nos espaços onde habitam. A partir da idealização de liberdade afetiva e sexual no outro lado da fronteira, eles decidem migrar e se expõem ao vírus.
The article presents an analysis of the recent dismantling of the Union of South-American Nations (UNASUR) under the governments of the liberal-conservative turn recently experienced in South America. Through the mobilization of excerpts from speeches by Heads of State in the region, it is possible to note that the allegedly “ideological” character of UNASUR is presented as the main justification for leaving the institution. Having that in mind, the main objective of the article is to interrogate narratives about the ‘ideological’ character of UNASUL. For that, the article presents a literature review on regionalism, pragmatism and ideology to challenge this narrative. It is argued, first, that pragmatism and ideology in regionalism are not dichotomous, but complementary concepts. Moreover, despite UNASUR’s ideological elements, the organization represents a series of alignments and pragmatic factors in its institutionalization and performance. Finally, it is argued that the proposals for “de-ideologization” and “pragmatic realignment” of the regionalism of the new rights in South America are, in fact, more ideological than pragmatic as they claim.
