| Resumo: | Based on the works of O rei de Havana and Fabián e o caos, by the contemporary Cuban author Pedro Juan Gutiérrez, the constructions of masculinities, that is, the different socio-historically attributed aspects of the being of being "man" are discussed. To do so, we take up the considerations of Elisabeth Badinter, in XY: sobre a identidade masculina; by Kate Millet, in Política sexual; by Wilhelm Reich, in A revolução sexual and by Heleieth Saffioti, in O poder do macho. It focuses the construction of masculine identities, which reflects, in turn, in sexuality and in relation to the other. The objective is, therefore, to recognize how, independently of the political system adopted, patriarchal relations determine the differentiation between right and wrong conduct in certain contexts, such as being gay in Cuba after the Castro revolution, leading to dissent and homophobia. It is also observed how these determinations of masculinity influence the relations between men and women, as well as they are based on a fragile discourse that bases the axiology’s of the being man. |
