This work is the result of a research developed in a movie-theater locateded in downtown Fortaleza. In this research, we seek to unveil the underlying logics of the socializing that used to take place in this specific social and cultural space, emphasizing the transvestite prostitution market inside of it. We will show some of the mental and corporal schemas which this concrete reality evokes, seen as a symbolic matrix of practical activities, feelings, conducts, thoughts and judgement on the part of the spectators that used to make up this space. The Jangada movie-theater was shut down in july, 1996, and played an intermediary role in the general process of reorganization of the “social geography” of the local movie houses’. In downtown Fortaleza pornography has become destiny, and after Jangada, the emerging movie houses represent a new configuration as to the exhibition of this cinematographic genre, not only because of the video format technology now used, but also because of the territorialities that they give place. This dissertation is intended to be a critique contribuition to the thinking of the town spaces and territories, the existing conditions of those who make a living out of the prostitution market and the coming into being of socializing places which, having porn iconography as condition and pretext, give visibility to the alternative modes of sexuality and end up producing new and unexpected territorities in relation to the shaping and disciplinary architecture of a movie theater.
