Esta pesquisa qualitativa têm como objetivo central analisar os usos de aplicações de
relacionamentos para dispositivos móveis nos usos por homens cisgênero gays, concretamente
o Grindr e o Tinder de molde a sustentar uma abordagem das masculinidades plurais a partir
da teoria queer. A cibercultura e as convergências sendo que provocadas nas mídias, estes
espaços virtuais de interrelações acabam por se tornarem parte do real, quando os indivíduos
se fundem com os seus perfis criados e recriados na tentativa do pertencimento e na busca
por iguais e diferentes. Acionando um suporte teórico-metodológico alargado para a
construção da nossa problemática e modelo analítico procedeu-se a uma análise de conteúdo
sobre 137 perfis coletados em ambas as aplicações mencionadas, com complemento de onze
entrevistas semiestruturadas em uma observação não participante, a ponto de verificar
através da cultura, consumo, identidade e tecnologias, como se constroem os processos de
autoidentificação e não identificação entre os usuários. O estudo contribui para a reflexão
sobre os possíveis usos das tecnologias tendo-se destacado uma normatividade prevalente
que condiciona e limita as performances plurais e dissidentes de gêneros e sexualidades sobre
a ótica das masculinidades.
This qualitative research aims to analyze the uses of relationship applications for mobile devices by men gay gender, namely Grindr and Tinder in order to support an approach of plural masculinities from the queer theory perspective. The cyberculture and convergences are mediated spaces that become part of the real when individuals merge with their profiles, created and recreated in the attempt to belong and in the search for equal and different. Based on an enlarged theoretical-methodological support to creates our analytical framework the content analysis of 137 profiles was carried out with the addition of eleven semistructured interviews in a non-participant observation. We were able to verify through culture, consumption, identity and technologies, how the processes of self-identification and non-identification between users are developed. The study contributes to the reflection on the possible uses of the technologies, highlighting a prevalent normativity that conditions and limits the plural and dissident performances of gender and sexualities on what concerns masculinities.
