This essay examines relationships between men and the role patriarchal capitalism plays in the construction of sexuality in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (1925), a novel written during a critical period in the history of sexuality, as well as of gay and lesbian history. The ambivalence about male bonds—in particular the simultaneously loving and abusive dynamics of mentoring—depicted in this canonical work of American literature reveals the author's unease about his relationship with Catholic priest and teacher Sigourney Fay and provides insight into the author's well-known lifelong anxiety about his gender and sexuality.

Partindo de uma discussão sobre as alterações semióticas da relação rural/urbano, efetuou-se uma pesquisa de cunho empírico mediante entrevistas semi-dirigidas sobre as significações e os sentidos do termo 'rural' com indivíduos que constituem a população urbana do município de Santa Maria (RS), Brasil.

Este fato indica o surgimento de peculiares perspectivas para a configuração de novas ruralidades.
