Abstract

This essay aims to think on the presence of the body and of its ramifications in the diaristic writing of Lúcio Cardoso and Walmir Ayala. Both authors developed, between the 1940’s and the 1960’s, a pioneering writing that put in evidence, for the first time in Brazilian literature, the existence of the homossexual and of the homosexuality from the perspective of the first person. Therefore, this text seeks to understand how occurs the negotiation of the symbolic place that this body, traditionally put aside from the society, will take once someone dares to suggest its existence, once it is put in evidence.
