From the encounter with groups of lesbians who have this ideal as a daily basis in their continuum (Rich, 2019), I use the concept and method of body-territory in order to analyze the place of lesbians in the territorial dynamics as a class, making a historical analysis of women and the corresponding sexual roles (Wittig, 2021). Lesbian culture is reproduced with symbols and phrases that make sense of lesbian identification and belonging in the world. Audiovisual art, such as graffiti, has recurrently appeared as a possible occupation for lesbians in cities, producing territories disputed by other narratives. These disputes end up silencing the lesbian movement, which is caught between physically separating itself from the hegemonic culture and/or adapting for moments as a survival strategy and creating exclusive spaces in the urban environment. Finally, a close look at lesbian territories and the different forms they can take is proposed, in addition to being a way of providing well-being to women.application/pdfopenAccessTerritorializaçãoLesbianismoMulheresCultura lésbicaSeparatismo lésbicoFeminismo lésbicoCorpo-territórioTerritorializationLesbianismWomenLesbian cultureLesbian separatismLesbian feminismBody-territoryCiências HumanasGeografiaGeografia HumanaDissertação
