Abstract
Abstract The objective of this study is to understand the construction of the sexual identity of four non-heterosexual, university women living in the cities of Ilhéus and Itabuna - BA. This case study began with women who participate in student movements at a public university in the region and sought to problematize the social recognition obtained through friendships established through the movements, showing the importance of recognition in the construction of these women’s self-confidence.
期刊介绍:
Cadernos Pagu was founded in 1993 and since then has contributed to the consolidation of gender studies in Brazil. The journal was created in a period when gender studies gained certain academic legitimacy in the country, and it intended to further its visibility, diffusing and stimulating knowledge production in this field. Cadernos Pagu resulted from more than two years of intense readings, researches and debates among the members of the Center for Gender Studies Pagu, analyzing gender theories developments and stalemates. The first issue was completely written by Pagu"s research members, and their articles expressed those concerns. Throughout the second and third issues, the journal redefined its editorial policies, opening to contributions from Brazilian and foreign researchers.
