Abstract

This article starts from the discussions on subject and freedom present in foucaultian archaeogenealogy, and its objective is to analyze the production of homosexual subject in virtual discourses. For this, the corpus used consists of discourses circulating in two large Brazilian sites, Disponivel.com and Bate Papo UOL. The analyses allow observing a discursive functioning guided by the differentiation between positive male practices and negative effeminate practices. From this, it is concluded that the Brazilian sexual vision is still marked by a shadow reasoning, split between a public assumption of diversity and a denial of its appearance in the private sphere.
