Abstract
In this article we address the anthropological work of Néstor Perlongher emphasizing his insertion in the debates of the emergent Brazilian urban anthropology and considering his critical fortune in recent research that revisited one of its central issues, focused on the articulation between territory, corporality and desire. We join in the celebration of the legacy of Perlongher's brief and intense work, drawing attention to the significance of sexual and gender diversity studies for the more general field of urban studies in the social sciences, while problematizing the uses of this legacy in recent research.
