Homoerotic sociolinguistic discoveries on Facebook: a literature review

Abstract

The article shows the analysis of a literature review, from a sociological perspective of language, on the interrelation between the categories: sexual identities, homoeroticism, identity narrative, homoerotic narrative, and virtual identities. Likewise, the theoretical and scientific advances that allow the analytical development in two phases, heuristic and hermeneutic, and their approach in science from different disciplines, which converge in the orientation of the value of discourse and the socio-semantic relations involved in a process of digital autopoiesis, are presented. Conclusions show the premises that will guide the development of the fieldwork, so that researchers can start from the monographic overview to glimpse the conceptualization of the subject in the face of new real-life phenomena.
