Conversações sobre masculinidades e cuidado de si no documentário The Mask You Live In / Conversations about masculinity and self-care in The Mask You Live In documentary

Abstract

As a journey to problematize notions of masculinities that circulate in social life, as well it is multiple effects on the trajectories of men, the present work aims to analyze some speeches presented in a specific thechnological device, the north-american documentary, The Mask You Live In, starting from a dialogue between gender field studies and ethical concept of self-care, as articulated by Michel Foucault. Having documental research as methodological path, the analyses locate the processes of subjectivation as fields of forces in dispute, where hegemonic and subordinate notions coexist in war. Concludes, provisionally, by affirming the importance of the resistance movements, wich trigger critical debates about gender order and which emphasize self-care as a fundamental exercise on the invention of more autonomous and creative ways of existence. Key words: Device; masculinities; documentary; self-care.
