Between risk and pleasure: reflections on HIV prevention and care in the current context of PrEP use by men who have sex with men

“…In this sense, risk appears as an important element of erotic practices, especially when it is associated with the transgression of social norms and conventions, with the power, as Gregori 56 points out, to jeopardize gender and sexuality conventions, making it impossible to retain complete control or the assurance that abuse and violence will be avoided. In this perspective, for us to better understand the situations in which condomless sex takes place, it is important to bring to the forefront of the analysis these threshold situations of tension between pleasure and risk/danger or, as Gregori 57 (p. 3) insists, these "limits of sexuality", understood as a "borderline zone where norm and transgression, consent and abuse, pleasure and pain coexist".…”

O Vício Em Humilhar: Prisão, Estado E Gênero Em Narrativas Sobre a Revista Íntima/Vexatória

“…Ainda que a entrada de certas coisas seja expressamente proibida em todas as unidades penitenciárias (como celulares), as administrações prisionais têm alguma autonomia para a definição do que entra e do que não entra em cada unidade, pois um objeto ou alimento pode ser permitido em uma prisão e proibido em outra. Nesse sentido, não se trata apenas de proibições, mas de regulações dos fluxos de pessoas e de coisas -tendo em mente que, quando as mulheres levam coisas entranhadas em seus corpos e transportam também afetos e valores, as próprias fronteiras entre pessoas e coisas tornam-se borradas (França, 2012;Gregori, 2016).…”

Capturing and Sending Nudes: the moral twists, pleasures and dangers of producing and exchanging erotic images online

“…In this paper, I propose that the practice of capturing and sending nudes be thought, on the one hand, in terms of "a new twist in visuality regimes, a transition towards new ways of seeing, living and symbolising one's own and others' bodily nudity" (Sibilia, 2015, p. 42). On the other hand, as an articulator of the "limits of sexuality" (Gregori, 2016), i.e., the social classifications that organise sexual normativities between acceptable and reprehensible, in a complex dispute about the expansion or the restriction of the boundaries between consent and abuse, norm and transgression, legitimate and immoral, healthy and violent.…”

“…In the light of Vance's arguments, the Brazilian anthropologist Maria Filomena Gregori (2016) points out that eroticism, when viewed from a gender perspective, must be understood as intrinsically bound by the pleasure-danger dyad, which is evident in the tenuous borders and inescapable transits between enjoyment and risk. Pleasure and danger, however, are not absolute essences, but a reality insofar as relationships between men and women are permeated both by asymmetries of power and by distinct and contrasting norms of gender and sexuality.…”

“…

In this article, I reflect on the polysemy involved in the registration, sending and circulation (authorised or not) of nude digital photographs. I propose that this practice the discourses it entails should be thought both in terms of "a new twist in visuality regimes, a transition towards new ways of seeing, living and symbolising one's own and others' bodily nudity" (Sibilia, 2015, p. 42) and as an articulator of the "limits of sexuality" (Gregori, 2016). This involves flexions in the social classifications that organise sexual norms as acceptable or reprehensible and a complex dispute about the expansion of, and restrictions to, the boundaries between consent and abuse, norm and transgression, legitimate and immoral, healthy and violent.
