Abstract

The novel Em nome do desejo (1983), by João Silvério Trevisan (São Paulo, Brazil), stratifies sex in four acts, more precisely four regulatory instances of homoerotic desire within the narrative at issue. Following this narratological dynamics, this paper inquires how the sexual relationship between the protagonists is structured, by addressing issues such as the discovery of the body and the erotic fruition as well as the discovery of oneself.
