Resumo Neste artigo exploro uma categoria particular de mulheres inserida em sistemas de intercâmbio locais assim como na paisagem urbana transnacional de trocas íntimas. As curtidoras em Maputo mostram o poder do erotismo feminino e como ele se conecta com o parentesco, as dinâmicas de gênero e as moralidades de intercâmbio. Baseando-me na produção feminista pós-colonial amplio os marcos de análise existentes considerando como as trocas sexuais e econômicas das curtidoras com os homens nunca estão completamente divorciadas de obrigações morais com as mulheres integrantes de suas redes de parentesco assim como caracterizadas por economias morais divergentes e convergentes nos encontros íntimos entre mulheres jovens e homens europeus mais velhos.

The article explores how youngMozambican women's migratory trajectories towardsEurope are shaped by sexual relationships with older white men and obligations towards female kin. Triads of exchange between young women known ascurtidoras(women enjoying life) and their partners and kin inMaputo are understood through theories of patronage and exchange moralities. Searching for respect, adventure, and consumption in the sexual economy, young women at the same time struggle to ensure their families' well‐being by redistributing the money they extract from white men. Sexual‐monetary transactions, love, and desire must be understood as part of broader moralities of exchange in which migration toEurope and sending of remittances is also a kinship project. The forms of patronage available inMaputo's sexual economy become stepping stones as well as obstacles to migration northwards.

Masculinity studies in Africa have often highlighted young men's tendencies to be dominant, violent, and selfish in relation to female peers. This article introduces the concept of "philogynous masculinities" as part of an exploration of more gender equitable tendencies among young men in secondary schools in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. Findings from fieldwork in schools and student's neighborhoods reveal that understanding alternative notions of manhood requires sensitivity to the contexts in which these are accentuated. While the bom pico notion, stressing men's sexual satisfaction of women, received emphasis in the context of sex education, the ndota notion of restraint and antiviolence was activated under homely circumstances. Discussing multiple male subjectivities across contexts rather than classifying individual men allows for alternative configurations without ignoring their contradictory manifestations. The article urges masculinity studies to move beyond dichotomies between modern and traditional forms and to explore entanglements of hegemonic and alternative masculinities.

In the Mozambican capital of Maputo, young women's sexuality has become an issue of public concern, as popular culture as well as changing socio-economic landscape change female identities and pave the way for emerging forms of female agency and sexual assertiveness. In this article, I analyze how a highly erotic concert performance in 2007 by the pregnant music star Dama Do Bling accentuated certain ideals of femininity and revealed a set of ideological contradictions concerning sexuality and femininity in Mozambique. 'The Bling scandal', as it was called, served as a can opener in terms of making women's sexuality publicly debatable among and between young women as well as among the media, politicians, organizations and religious leaders. While some young women see 'the Bling scandal' as a denigration of womanhood others see it as a sign of increasing freedom for women that involves transactional sexual relationships with sugar-daddies.
