Esta dissertação explora as potencialidades (não-)utópicas de subversão ética, estética e política da organização comunitária do prazer na éter (nome fictício), uma rave queer realizada no Pelléas et Mélisande (nome fictício), (não-)clube e espaço associativo do-it-yourself na periferia de Lisboa. A partir de uma abordagem teórica e metodológica com base na etnomusicologia, na sociologia da música, nos estudos de género e sexualidade, e nos estudos culturais, de rave e de vida noturna, pretendo compreender a relação entre os comportamentos expressivos desenvolvidos neste contexto com uma outra série de práticas que se (re)produzem nele. Concretamente, este trabalho investiga a rave queer enquanto espaço de reprodução social de um grupo socialmente marginalizado — o coletivo LGBTQIA+ — onde se negoceiam noções identitárias através da música e da dança, bem como de práticas sexuais, do consumo de substâncias psicoativas e de interações de cuidados, entre outros. Recorrendo a uma metodologia etnográfica, serão estudadas a música e a experiência sensorial coletiva que oferece enquanto condições de possibilidade para a vivência festiva, enfatizando a sua dimensão politizada e crítica. A convergência entre a necessidade de construir um espaço mais seguro para pessoas queer e a implantação de estratégias contrárias à premissa da visibilidade social do coletivo será observada com recurso à noção de «opacidade» de Édouard Glissant (2018). Por sua vez, será explorada uma perspetiva extática da festa enquanto ritual de emancipação a partir das suas condições no que se reporta às práticas sexuais, farmacológicas e sonoras favorecidas na éter. Por fim, o ecossistema de cuidados e as características da sua distribuição e organização espacial serão também estudadas enquanto estratégias políticas de resistência
This dissertation explores the (non-)utopian potentialities for ethical, aesthetic and political subversion through community pleasure-organizing at éter, a queer rave taking place at Pelléas et Mélisande, a (non-)club and do-it-yourself associative venue located on the outskirts of Lisbon (to ensure the anonymity of the party and the collective, both names are fictitious). Based on a theoretical and methodological approach rooted in ethnomusicology, sociology of music, gender and sexuality studies, and cultural, rave, and nightlife studies, I aim to understand the relationship between the expressive behaviours developed in this context and other practices that are (re)produced within it. Specifically, this work investigates the queer rave as a space for the social reproduction of a marginalized group — the LGBTQIA+ community —, where notions of identity are negotiated through music and dance, as well as, among others, sexual practices, the use of psychoactive substances, and care-based interactions. Through ethnographic research, the music and the collective sensory experience it provides will be studied as conditions of possibility for festive life, emphasizing its politicized and critical dimension. The convergence between the need to create a safer space for queer people and the implementation of strategies that oppose the principle of queer visibility will be examined through Édouard Glissant's (2018) concept of «opacity». Furthermore, the ecstatic perspective of the party, as a ritual of emancipation, will be explored in relation to the sexual, pharmacological, and sonic practices that are encouraged at éter. Lastly, the ecosystem of care and the characteristics of its distribution and spatial organization will be studied as political strategies of resistance.
