  • Descrição: This article examines the trajectory of Brazilian women who work as erotic dancers in New York City's gentlemen's bars. It argues that processes of globalization & transnationalism are related not just with political-economic transformations, but also to significant shifts in the ways people relate to each other, use their bodies, & conceive & realize their desires. Such transformations must also be understood in relation to a colonial & post-colonial regime, in which representations about their bodies gain intelligibility. Most of the women who participated in my research are from the middle-classes, & in terms of race, they self-identify as "morenas." Based on fieldwork conducted between years 2004-2005, I analyze how their social positioning & identity are translated from one context to another, & how new social hierarchies are constructed in a transnational context. Taking as a focus of study Blue Diamond, a bar located in the borough of Queens, this article investigates how these transnational reconfigurations are articulated through particular relationships among dancers & between dancers & clients. Adapted from the source document.
