Queering the Public Sphere in Mexico and Brazil

Abstract

Hybrid Modernities, Modern SexualitiesHere in Brazil, things were always done from the top down.The masses were never the subject of action, but they have always been the object of action.In light of this, I believe (and evidently, I could be wrong) that the important thing is to win over the elite and the "intelligentsia" (Brazilian intellectuals, particularly those linked to the media); in short, the "Establishment," and principally in the field where they have the most power, in justice. . . .You might argue that laws do not change the social mentality and I would agree, but only in part.Laws do not change the social mentality, but they contribute decisively to that change.
