Abstract

This article emerges from visits to different cabarets together with a sex worker–researcher. Interweaving
debates, considerations, and critical analyses of the prostitutes’ narratives, it discusses the lifestyles forged between closets and ghosts that haunt the researched territories. Based on these women’s perceptions of their own work, this work presents discussions and narratives aligned with the whore feminist perspective, ensuing a discussion about the regulation of sexual labor in Brazil.
