A revista do homem livre? Experimentações sobre pornografia e masculinidades

Abstract

The present memorial intends to explore the process of creation and development of the volume "A revista do homem livre?", an alternative version of the edition no 321 of Playboy, setting its theoretical-methodological inspirations and presenting its effective realization. Through the approach of the photographic image, the pornographic context and the notions of bricolage, the work intends to support the development of this product as a proposal of experimentation of pornographic images and their relations with masculinities. Such practical investigation is given through the inspiration in the practice of Livros de Artista as an alternative to bring forth the contact with the divergent images here, based on their respective expressive positions. Thus, "The magazine of the free man?" Brings together varied possibilities of masculinity explained in its content in order to approach the standards established on them and possible challenges or resistance to them. The present exhibition and analysis of such a gathering of impressions, discussions and references, supported by the notions of fotografia-expressão and a socially engaged approach to pornographic images, serves to explain the issues involved and to promote the approach of these images according to their processes of performance and interaction with producers and consumers.
