Género e sexualidade têm estado sujeitos a vários dispositivos sociais de controlo que regem o sistema de sexo/género predominante na sociedade. Os estudos feministas, a teoria queer e as mobilizações sociais tem questionado esse sistema, denunciado a opressão de sexo e de género das sociedades num intuito de promover uma sociedade mais justa. Esses questionamentos têm sido conseguidos com base em muitas solidariedades, mas também muitas tensões entre movimentos sociais, estratégias de luta, ativistas e pensadoras dentro de distintos campos de estudo e de ação. Este artigo traça alguns desses diálogos e tensões entre os feminismos e as teorias e mobilizações queer, evidenciando as contaminações entre esses dois campos e o surgimento de novas possibilidades de resistência às normas dominantes.

In Spain, same sex marriage and adoption was legalized in 2005, and in 2006 the Law of Assisted Reproduction made this available to every woman regardless of their sexual orientation or marital status. Drawing on interviews carried out in Madrid about assisted conception and lesbian parenting, as well as on previous contributions advanced by queer and gender scholars, this article questions to what extent the assumptions of assimilation to a normative system adequately apply to queer families. Some activists and academics characterize lesbian, gay and/or bisexual partnering and parenting as (hetero)normative, at the same time as the very same forms of constituting a family are the object of rejection from politicians, lawmakers and cultural institutions. Taking this context as the premise, in this article I discuss the need for more diverse analytical instruments which take into account more human and psychosocial aspects of life alongside the political and academic analysis of queer trajectories concerning maternity decisions and everyday experiences of motherhood.

Resumo: Os anos iniciais do século XX foram, para a cidade do Rio de Janeiro, um período de grandes transformações no espaço urbano, ocasionadas sobretudo pelo crescimento populacional do município. A caminhada em direção aos subúrbios da zona norte teve início no século XIX e se intensificou com a construção da estrada de ferro Dom Pedro II em meados do século. O processo de urbanização e saneamentode áreas ao longo das estradas de ferro suburbanas e a grande destruição dos cortiços das regiões centrais contribuíram para o alargamento do espaço geográficoda cidade e o aumento da população residente nos subúrbios. Este artigo analisa a dinâmica social que envolve o processo de formação das sociedades suburbanas durante o início do século XX para compreender sua constituição interna inicial, as relações sociais estabelecidas e os desafios que se faziam presentes ao morador do subúrbio enquanto habitante da cidade em transformação.Palavras-chave: Rio de Janeiro; subúrbio; urbanização; história urbana.

Apresentação do Dossiê

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented need for epidemiological monitoring using diverse strategies. We conducted a project combining prevalence, seroprevalence, and genomic surveillance approaches to describe the initial pandemic stages in Betim City, Brazil. We collected 3239 subjects in a population-based age-, sex- and neighborhood-stratified, household, prospective; cross-sectional study divided into three surveys 21 days apart sampling the same geographical area. In the first survey, overall prevalence (participants positive in serological or molecular tests) reached 0.46% (90% CI 0.12–0.80%), followed by 2.69% (90% CI 1.88–3.49%) in the second survey and 6.67% (90% CI 5.42–7.92%) in the third. The underreporting reached 11, 19.6, and 20.4 times in each survey. We observed increased odds to test positive in females compared to males (OR 1.88 95% CI 1.25–2.82), while the single best predictor for positivity was ageusia/anosmia (OR 8.12, 95% CI 4.72–13.98). Thirty-five SARS-CoV-2 genomes were sequenced, of which 18 were classified as lineage B.1.1.28, while 17 were B.1.1.33. Multiple independent viral introductions were observed. Integration of multiple epidemiological strategies was able to adequately describe COVID-19 dispersion in the city. Presented results have helped local government authorities to guide pandemic management.
