Abstract

Cinema is an important object of analysis in Social Sciences, reflecting culture, identities and social roles. Uncovering gender relations and male representations, his films attribute sexual roles to men and manage the power relations around them. Based on this perception, it emerges an interest in investigating masculinities in gay characters in Brazilian films, more precisely in “Rainha Diaba” (1974) and “Madame Satã” (2002), where the protagonists are inserted in a context of subalternity, marginality, deviation and social rupture. Thus, this research aims to understand how the protagonists of those movies are represented regarding gender territories and other social issues, such as race, ethnicity and class. For this purpose, the “analysis of moving images” protocol by the researcher Diana Rose will be applied. As a result, it is expected to contribute to studies related to the field of representation and cinema.
