Espacialidades e interseccionalidades na vivência de mulheres prostitutas mães na cidade de Ponta Grossa-PR
Este artigo visa compreender como a interseccionalidade entre maternidade/maternagem e prostituição feminina de baixa renda constituem espacialidades na cidade de Ponta Grossa-PR. A partir do desempenho de papéis sociais tidos como opostos – o de mãe, associado ao amor, e o de prostituta, associado ao pecado –, entendemos que as espacialidades vividas pelas mulheres mães prostitutas transpassam esses paradoxos a partir da interseccionalidade. As experiências sociais dessas mulheres são vistas como práticas encaixadas construídas por e através do espaço. A concomitância dos dois papéis faz com que essas mulheres criem estratégias espaciais para desenvolver a prostituição e a maternidade/maternagem.This paper aims to understand how intersectionality between motherhood/ maternity and low income female prostitution compose spatiality in the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná.

The second element is the constitution of prison experiences based on the stories of the interviewees. In this way, the article responds to the central questioning of how the prison experiences of transsexual women and transvestites are composed in the male prison space of Santiago de Chile

Therefore, the outskirts idea is understood in this research as a multi-scalar, relational space (Massey, 2008) involving specific practices masculinities assembled by biopower (Foucault, 2006) and the necropolitic (Mbembe, 2011). 86 police investigations about homicide occurred between 2012 and 2015 year were analyzed at the 13a Subdivisão Policial from Ponta Grossa.

Este artigo tem o objetivo de compreender a violência homicida como constituidora das periferias pobres vivenciadas por jovens homens. Para tanto, a ideia de periferia pobre é compreendida aqui como um espaço relacional e multiescalar (Massey, 2008) que envolve práticas de masculinidades específicas mediadas pelo biopoder (Foucault, 2006) e pela necropolítica (Mbembe, 2011). Foram analisados 86 inquéritos policiais de homicídios ocorridos entre 2012 e 2015 da 13ª Subdivisão Policial de Ponta Grossa e das Varas Criminais da mesma cidade. O perfil mais vitimado encontrado na análise documental foi de pessoas do sexo masculino com idade entre 15 e 25 anos, moradoras de áreas periféricas pobres da cidade.

Discontinuous paradoxical territory, LGBT movement, prostitution and pimping in southern Brazil
This paper discusses about the relation between discontinuous paradoxical territory, LGBT movement, prostitution and pimping in Southern Brazil. Such proposition relates to the content analysis of 22 interviews with travestis which acted in sexual services and with 7 more interviews with people acting in NGOs concerned with the travestis group. We verified that this knowledge flow is made through the participation of various social actors and it is constituted with the relations established between travestis, NGOs and owners of ‘boarding houses for travestis’, from paradoxes and complementarities between legal and illegal activities. The multiple scale of the phenomenon highlights how these relations have a mobile and indeterminate position, thus surpassing the notion that conceives categories as something fixed and it shows how complex the relations among subjects and space are.Este artigo discute a relação entre território descontínuo paradoxal, movimento LGBT, prostituição e cafetinagem no Sul do Brasil. Tal proposta relaciona-se a análise de conteúdo de 22 entrevistas realizadas com travestis que atuam na atividade sexual, mais 7 entrevistas com pessoas atuantes em Ongs que contemplam o grupo de travestis.
