“…Os relatos contidos nessas primeiras pesquisas, alguns deles revisados nos dias de hoje por pesquisadoras/es africanas/os, ajudariam, como será visto mais adiante, por um lado, a demonstrar as complexas relações instauradas no período colonial com o silenciamento sistemático da diversidade sexual e de gênero e seu enquadramento em parâmetros heteronormativos ocidentais, demonstrando ainda por tabela a tradição histórica dessa diversidade no continente (Epprecht, 2005; Murray e Roscoe, 1998). Mas, por outro lado, essas pesquisas acabariam por reforçar, no período pós-colonial de formação dos Estados nacionais africanos, o que Epprecht (2008a) chamou de alegoria nacionalista da heterossexualidade exclusiva, ou seja, o uso político da ideia da exogenia da homossexualidade e a promoção da alegada heterossexualidade "naturalmente" africana (Amory, 1997; Guebeguo, 2006b;Hayes, 2000;Mbembe, 2006;Mbisi, 2011;Miescher, 2005;Ndjio, 2012;Ratele, 2008;Rebucini, 2013) 17 .…”

Nos últimos 25 anos, tem sido publicado um número de considerável de textos de autoria, em sua grande maioria, de pesquisadores/as africanos/as, tratando das expressões da diversidade sexual e de gênero no continente africano do ponto de vista das ciências sociais. Os textos têm em comum a relação que apresentam entre sexualidade, Estado nacional e globalização, contextualizados a partir dos efeitos do colonialismo, do imperialismo e do capitalismo. Trata-se aqui de apresentar ao público de leitores de língua portuguesa um breve resumo das principais ideias desenvolvidas em algumas dessas publicações, com o intuito de promover a necessidade de se produzirem reflexões comparativas sobre sexualidade no Sul Global.

“…On the one hand, they helped to demonstrate the complex relations established in the colonial period with the systematic silencing of sexual and gender diversity and its framing in Western heteronormative parameters, also showing the historical tradition of this diversity on the continent (Epprecht, 2005;Murray and Roscoe, 1998). But on the other hand, these researches reinforced, in the postcolonial period of African nation-state formation, what Epprecht (2008a) has called the nationalist allegory of exclusive heterosexuality, that is, the political use of the idea of the exogeny of homosexuality and the promotion of the alleged "naturally" African heterosexuality (Amory, 1997;Guebeguo, 2006b;Hayes, 2000;Mbembe, 2006;Mbisi, 2011;Miescher, 2005;Ndjio, 2012;Ratele, 2008;Rebucini, 2013) 17 .…”

In the last 25 years, a considerable number of texts by African researchers have been published dealing with the expressions of gender and sexual gender diversity on the African continent from the perspective of the social sciences. The texts have in common the relationship they present between sexuality, national state, and globalization, considering the effects of colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism. I intend here to present a summary of the main ideas developed in some of these publications to a public of Portuguese-speaking readers in order to promote some comparative reflections on sexuality in the Global South.

“…This was a perception that Whitaker () highlights that gays and lesbians in the Middle East not only have their own sexual identity, but they also engage in identity politics. While there may be no empirically validated answer to this divide, and while some like Rebucini () suggest that the two models can coexist, what is important for this research is to recognize that the Western notions of the gay male identity resonates within Islamic cultures today. Boellstorff () for example, suggests that thousands of Muslim Indonesian men now identify as gay.…”

While a number of investigations have examined how gay Muslim men view homosexuality in relation to religious Western homophobia, this research constitutes the first account of the experiences of self-identified gay men living in an African, Muslim nation, where same-sex sex is both illegal and actively persecuted. We interviewed 28 gay men living in Tunisia in order to understand how they assimilate their sexual, religious and ethnic identities within a highly homophobic culture. Utilizing notions of homoerasure and homohysteria (McCormack and Eric Anderson ,b), and examining the intersection of identity conflict and new social movement theory, we highlight four strategies that participants use to negotiate the dissonance of living with conflicting identities in a context of religious homophobia: (1) privileging their Islamic identities and rejecting homosexuality as a legitimate sexual identity; (2) rejecting Islam and accepting homosexuality as a legitimate sexual identity; (3) interpreting Islam to be supportive of homosexuality; and (4) creating a non-penetrative homosexuality to be compatible with literal Qur'anic interpretations. We discuss the multiple difficulties these men face in relation to religious intolerance and ethnic heteronormativity, and reflect upon the possibilities and obstacles of using Western identity politics towards the promotion of social justice within a framework of growing homohysteria.
