This project is the final part of this research that studied the cinematography produced in Latin and Anglophone America in part I and II. In this third and last part of the project we will concentrate our efforts in European movie production from 1990 to 2010. Methodology: Considering the European cinematographic production from 1990 to 2010 presented in the explosion of LGBT film festivals, specially MixBrasil, we will start an analysis of the aesthetic-ethic-politic discursive lines that sustains the expressions of the homosexualities, specially the male ones, as gender and power technologies. In this intent, we will use the analysis of content as a mechanism that will give support to the interpretation of the selected movies, which will be interpreted according to Cultural, Gender and Queer Studies. Expected results: It is expected to comprehend how, in this two decades, transgressions were produced in binary models of homo/heterosexuality, men/women and male/female, in order to establish relations between these new aesthetic expressions (queer), the production of LGBT identities and its dialogues with Psychology.
