SUMMARY:

This master's thesis sought to analyze how the intersectionality of systems of oppression impacts the personal and professional trajectory of poor black gay men who work in the mining sector in Mariana-MG. From an intersectional approach, which analyzed the life histories of João and Felipe, one can perceive the influence of the categories of gender, race, sexuality and class on their decision-making processes. The man is the gender category endowed with privileges in the current binary patriarchal system, which historically built assumptions of hegemonic masculinity. However, masculinities are diverse, and hegemony is linked not only to gender (being male) but also race (being white), sexuality (being heterosexual) and class (being from the ruling class). In this context, poor gay black men are marginalized and subordinated by society due to the intersectional markers that cross them. The results of this work indicate that the categories of gender, race, sexuality and class strongly influenced João and Felipe's decision-making, acting as limitations of such processes or encouraging them to resist the oppressions inherent to the structure that they are part of. It was also observed that individuals aligned with hegemonic patterns (which appear in João and Felipe's stories) often have their decision-making guided by maintaining the privileges of socially dominant groups. By presenting the participants' stories, this work will contribute to organizational studies about society and subjectivity and the influence of intersectional markers on decision-making processes. It is hoped that this dissertation opens the way for future studies by the Administration on poor black gay men, considering the lack of works that specifically deal with these individuals. It aims to that the elucidation and analysis of the research subjects' experiences integrate the chorus of works that study the daily violence suffered by individuals intersected by categories of oppression, believing that knowledge can promote change and guarantee equal treatment for all human beings.
