In Brazil’s Sex Wars: The Aesthetics of Queer Activism in São Paulo, Joseph Say Sosa analyzes mobilizations over sexuality and gender politics in Brazil. Drawing on over a decade of ethnographic fieldwork and media analysis, Sosa offers a conceptual map for navigating ‘sex wars’ as a broader sociopolitical phenomenon, framing them as aesthetic disputes over forms of rights rather than ideological content.
