Abstract
The music scene as sound territories seems interesting perspective for Occupational Therapy in regard to “making gender” among young metropolitan homosexuals. The aim of this work is to present the theoretical-methodological exercise of delimitation of the investigative object of a doctoral research, through which the musical scenes emerged as an analytical perspective of the nocturnal metropolitan leisure marked by masculine homosexuality. In a second moment it is hoped to point out contributions of the Gender Studies for the field of Occupational Therapy based in empirical dates. The immersion in the field happened since January until July 2017 at “Augusta” and “Barra Funda” region. “Walking” was used as a technique from Urban Anthropology. It works as initial contact with the research field in which the time is distinct from ordinary walking. At this moment the preliminary classificatory lines arising from the confrontation of preexisting theoretical contents and the empirical data. As conclusion, the musical scene has worked a profitable cut of nighttime leisure in interface with gender issues, even helping to think epistemological fundamentals of the activity in Occupational Therapy.
