"Nossa Senhora da Help": sexo, turismo e deslocamento transnacional em Copacabana "Our Lady of Help": Sex, tourism and transnational movements in Copacabana

A análise do turismo sexual e o tráfico das mulheres tem concentrada na subjugação das mulheres, situando-as como passivas - objetos de câmbio que são "traficados" entre universos nacionais subordinados e dominantes.
