There is a considerable gap on how social movements that center around non/monogamies decide to organize and articulate their strategies, as well as how they manage their tensions with other activist groups and ideologies or even the State. In addition to this, the fact that much of the literature that circulates is written in English and in an Anglophone context, hampers the ability of researchers to come into contact with other experiences of non/monogamies. This article gives a situated account of the rise of the Portuguese polyamorous social movement and shows how interpersonal relationships fundamentally shape the way activism is performed, and how archives are also important in establishing the identity of activists and activist groups. Using data from the Portuguese polyamorous group PolyPortugal, and interviews with high-profile activists, I argue that the idea of a politics of relating (the politicized analysis of how we connect and perform a given ethics of connection) is a conceptually useful tool to think about the transformations of contemporary intimacies, but it is also fundamental to think about how activism is done by people and for people – people who relate to one another, who exist in tension.

AbstractBDSM constitutes a stigmatized form of sexuality in which sexual fluidity may arise. Noting the scarcity of research on these themes in Portugal, we sought to explore and understand sexual fluidity in people who identified themselves as BDSM practitioners, both in the context of so-called 'vanilla' sex and BDSM practice. Using a qualitative methodology, we prepared an online questionnaire disseminated on platforms used by BDSM practitioners, having obtained 54 participants. The data were subjected to content analysis and simple statistical analysis. Three themes emerged from the analysis: the importance of gender in both forms of sexuality, the perception and knowledge about sexual fluidity, and the experience of sexual fluidity. It was found that BDSM practitioners are relatively sexually fluid and demonstrate various sexual behaviors discordant with their romantic and sexual attractions. In addition to this, there were multiple justifications regarding the importance of gender when it comes to their attractions. It was also found that men, regardless of sexual identity, are more sexually fluid than women. This study contributes to the knowledge about BDSM and the deconstruction of categories related to gender and sexual identity, and finally, to the normalization of non-normative sexual practices.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo responder ao seguinte questionamento: quais as características das pesquisas científicas brasileiras a respeito da saúde ocupacional do trabalhador rural? Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento na base de dados Scopus Elsevier, do periódico CAPES, no dia 10 de março de 2021, com os termos de busca: "RURAL AND WORKER AND HEALTH AND OCCUPATIONAL". Como resultado, obteve-se 128 documentos. O ano com maior índice de pesquisas foi 2.019; a medicina se destaca no que concerne os campos das ciências; em relação ao periódico, a Revista Ciência e Saúde Coletiva é o primeiro lugar no ranking; os autores com maior número de pesquisas são Moreira, J. C. e Cezar-Vaz, R. M.; o trabalho brasileiro citado é intitulado: "Influência de fatores socioeconômicos sobre o envenenamento por pesticiina, Brasil"; no que tange as agências de fomento, destaca-se o Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; o artigo científico é a modalidade de divulgação mais utilizada no Brasil para disseminar as pesquisas científicas a respeito da saúde do trabalhador rural. O presente estudo salienta a necessidade das pesquisas brasileiras se aterem às intervenções que precisam ser realizadas na esfera da saúde ocupacional do trabalhador rural.
