Receptividade, representatividade e identidade LBTQIA+ em lugares de hospitalidade: Um estudo de caso do EST Comedoria em Goiânia

Abstract

This article analyzes hospitality in a public space, in this case the Est Comedoria bar/restaurant, in Goiânia. The objective was to understand how the LGBTQIA+ public perceives hospitality at EST Comedoria. We also seek to understand if the habits, rites and practices established between LGBTQIA+ visitors and the environment allow the construction of identities of this group with the frequented space. Therefore, the discussion about gender, sexuality, identity and hospitality is necessary for a better understanding of the object of study. As a theoretical reference, the work brings authors from the field of hospitality and sociology, such as: Hall (2003), Lopes (1999), Camargo (2003) Baptista (2008), Grinover (2006; 2007) and Castelli (2010). To answer the objective of this investigation, we used bibliographic and field research via observations and application of an online questionnaire to the subjects of the investigation. As a conclusion of this study, it became evident the different ways of establishing hospitality with this public and its degree of relevance within the analyzed environment.
