Actuar la brasile?idad? Tránsitos a partir del mercado del sexoKeywords: sex market, marriage market, migration, gender, sexuality, ethnicity. Abstract: considering the trajectories of brazilian women who migrated to europe from different sectors of the sex market, in this paper i consider the notions of brazilianness that permeate these women?s spaces for agency. the analysis is based on a multi-sited ethnography carried out in brazil, italy and spain. i consider how shifting contexts have effects in the re-creation of identity markers that permeate their incorporation in south european sex and marriage markets. i reflect on this exploring how constructions of gender, nationality, ethnicity and ?race? are activated in the interactions of those migrants. finally, i consider the relationships among these ethnic constructions, the migratory contexts and the shifts in the meanings acquired by sex consumption in the contemporary global sex market.
