MAPPING THE SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION ON THE LEISURE ACTIVITIES OF LGBTQIAPN+ PEOPLE:

A SCOPING REVIEW AND NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR THE FIELD OF LEISURE STUDIES

Abstract

Leisure is one of the basic rights constitutionally guaranteed in Brazil. However, many variables limit its full access. This study presents a mapping of studies related to LGBTQIAPN+ leisure, as well as new pos sibilities for studies in the field of leisure studies in relation to this theme. Exploratory in nature, the research is descriptive and qualitative. To achieve the results, a scoping review was conducted in the Web of Science (WoS) scientific database, in dexed by the Capes Portal. Subsequently, a textual analysis was performed using the Iramuteq software, which made it possible to generate: (a) Word cloud; (b) Similarity analysis; and (c) Correspondence Factor Analysis (CFA). The results point to paths and proposals regarding the leisure activities of LGBTQIAPN+ people, with a predominance of studies focused on gay men, revealing the need for research that more comprehensively involves other letters of the acronym, elderly people, and that delves into debat es that broaden theoretical, methodological, and political horizons in the field. The results also reveal that leisure is frequently approached as a space for expressing identities, confronting symbolic and structural violence, building belonging, and comp eting for social visibility.
