This paper problematizes cartography as a methodological possibility on research about sexualities. Bringing together some gender studies and queer perspectives and the cartographic thinking proposed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, it attempts to stress common grounds among these approaches. After an introduction that aims to approximate such strands, it presents some fieldwork notes of a research that aimed to cartography ways of stylizations of the homoeroticism in the old age among men in a bar in the city of Florianópolis (SC, Brazil). The text also emphasizes the effects of/on the researcher’s body (of affecting and being affected) during the process of inhabiting such sociability territory.
