Estética, ética e semiótica do homoerotismo pós-HIV/AIDS: contribuições comunicacionais e semiopsicanalíticas para a saúde pública a partir do consumo digital da pornografia amadora

Abstract

The present thesis aims to trace a communicational and semio-psychoanalytic overview of the male homoerotic expressions represented in the digital amateur pornography, taking into account the scenario post-hiv/aids. There will be investigated its esthetics, ethics and semiotics dimensions while it will be developed a reading founded by and interested in the sense production and the psychic effects that those signs potentially can produce. Three lines of hypothesis drive our investigation: (a) relations between pornography and public debate about hiv/aids; (b) differences between pornography and public debate; and (c) collateral observations from the pornography to public debate. In the face of the complexity of our object, we held efforts for the construction of the multidisciplinary articulation among communication, consumption and psychoanalytical semiotics studies, with approaches to philosophy and public health. Taking as a starting point the qualitative and exploratory analysis of 716 pornographic audiovisual materials in XVideos, one of the digital platforms with most viewers, in a first moment, we delimited four groups of signs of homoerotic pornography (signs of the persona sexual, signs of the phallus, signs of subversion and signs of violation). Secondly, the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) were framed by the communicational and semiopsychoanalytic perspectives to be found and analyzed their presence or absence in the homoerotic pornography and their effects produced through their consumption. As results we propose nine statements to the managing of the thematic in contemporaneity, investing in communicational and semio-psychoanalytic contributions to interpretate culture, a major aspect to the epidemiological monitoring.
