Abstract

Boi Neon (Mascaro, (2015) reconstructs the Northeastern Sertão as a sensitive territory shaped by affects, desires, and transforming subjectivities. The film challenges traditional stereotypes of masculinity by presenting hybrid, performative bodies in becoming, intertwining labor, fantasy, and imagination. The neon-lit dance scene serves as the surrealist core, expanding the symbolic field of the Sertão and revealing it as a space of subjective invention, cultural resistance, and relational multiplicities.
