| Spanish abstract | El presente trabajo es concebido como un estudio interseccional entre las distintas tecnologías de información, cuerpos, sexualidades, clase y raza. Su foco de análisis son las plataformas virtuales destinadas a hombres homosexuales, que componen un conjunto de páginas web y aplicaciones móviles (app), que median, gestionan y gobiernan el deseo de sus usuarios y el ejercicio de las sexualidades heterodisidentes. Tecnologías que configuran formas emergentes de sociabilidad en tiempo real y a cero metros de distancia, encontrando su expresión en un cruising virtual, que modela las subjetividades de sus usuarios. Se analiza centralmente a la aplicación Grindr que utiliza la geolocalizacion de sus usuarios. La interrogante que guía este trabajo de investigación, es cómo Grindr se convierte en un espacio interseccional que genera intimidad inmediata y/o cruising virtual, que vehiculiza formas de sociabilidad y prácticas sexuales, y en ultima instancia configura y reconfigura la gaycidad en la actualidad, en Santiago de Chile |
| English abstract | The present work is conceived as an intersectional study between the different technologies of information, bodies, sexualities, class and race. Its focus of analysis are the virtual platforms intended for gay men, which make up a set of web pages and mobile applications (app), which mediate, manage and govern the desire of its users and the exercise of heterodisident sexualities. Technologies that set up emerging forms of sociability in real time and zero meters away, finding its expression in virtual cruising, which models the subjectivities of its users. The Grindr application that uses the geolocation of its users is centrally analized. The question that guides this research work, is how Grindr becomes an intersectional space that generates immediate intimacy and/or virtual cruising, which conveys forms of sociability and sexual practices, and ultimately configures and reconfigures gayness today, in Santiago de Chile. The application (app) Grindr is analyzed centrally, not only for being the pioneer in terms of mobile apps aimed at homosexual men but also for being the first to use the geolocation of its users, positioning it as a virtual map in motion. The question that guides this research work would be: how does Grindr become an intersectional space that generates immediate intimacy and / or virtual cruising, that conveys forms of sociability and sexual practices, and ultimately shapes and reconfigures gayness, in the news, in Santiago, Chile? |
