It recognizes the value of the queer theory to the discussions about the transformation of sexuality and gender performances nowadays and, on the other hand, point out as psychoanalysis - very different to what is proposed by queer thinkers - contributes to this field, especially from Jacques Lacan´s elaborations about sexuation.
