'Those living on the margin does not drown in this water': geographies of bisexual bodies and spaces

Abstract

This study aims to understand how geography composes the intersectional identity experiences of bisexual people in the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil. To achieve the aim,
we conducted four interviews with people who self­identify as bisexual, namely, two cisgender women, one cisgender man and one gender nonconforming. Next, we analysed the
interviews according to the categorical and enunciation analysis (BARDIN, 1977). Their stories demanded the consideration of four key concepts: identity; intersectionality; body; and space. The dialogue established between the stories and the key concepts evidenced how bisexual identities develop, most of the time, in loneliness, and for this reason the body appears vehemently as a space of existence and resistance.
