Abstract:
This article presents the Queer Theory as encounters between thoughts in constant reinvention. Germinate of these dialogues weavings of concepts and analytical operations with political disposition, whose forces resides in their abilities to loosen or even untie the nodes of cis-heterocentered truths, especially, with regard to bodies, genders and sexualities. In this sense, I review three works considered central to queer epistemology: The history of sexuality 1: the will to knowledge, by Michel Foucault; Gender trouble: feminism and the subversion of identity, by Judith Butler; and Testo junkie: sex, drugs, and biopolitics in the pharmacopornographic era, by Paul B. Preciado. In these movements, I mention the approaches and distances between the proposals, as well as mentioning their effects in Brazilian readings.
