Between 1991 and 1993, the artist José Leonilson contributed a weekly illustration to Folha de São Paulo, Brazil’s highest circulation daily newspaper. This article argues that these drawings inserted a minoritarian voice into the public sphere in a way that contested its normative operations by emphasizing the micropolitical and the intimate, often through allegory. Some of the illustrations address AIDS, to which Leonilson succumbed two weeks after the last was published, and this article situates his work in relation to the intertwining discourses around sexuality, public health and media in Brazil at the time. What emerges is a conception of mass media and of publicness as a space of fiction that could, paradoxically, be instrumentalized in the face of the increasing standardization of previously deviant and unclassified sexualities.

打造公共领域：圣保罗剧院（Folha deSãoPaulo）的何塞·莱昂尼尔森（JoséLeonilson）

在1991年至1993年之间，艺术家何塞·列昂尼尔森（JoséLeonilson）为巴西发行量最高的日报Folha deSãoPaulo提供了每周插画。本文认为，这些绘画通过在政治领域中以强调微观政治和亲密关系（通常通过寓言）来强调其规范性运作，从而在公共领域插入了少数派声音。其中的一些插图是关于艾滋病的，列昂尼尔森（Leonilson）在上一本书发表后的两周就屈服于该插图，本文将他的工作与当时有关巴西性，公共卫生和媒体的相互交织的话语联系起来。随之而来的是，大众传媒和公众作为一种小说空间的概念可以自相矛盾地在面对日益严重的过去和未分类的性行为标准化的情况下发挥作用。
