The corporeities of LGBTQIA+ identities from the oral territory: the prosthetic queer-mouths

Abstract

This study, a theoretical essay, aimed to analyze the role and potential of the oral cavity in the corporeal plurality of LGBTQIA+ identities. Thus, dialectically guided, two oral pathways were evidenced: the first disciplined by the precepts of a Christian, sexist, and cissexist hegemony; the other questioning the unison character of cisheteronormativity. Finally, based on the premises presented, the oral territory, from then on, becomes a possible way to understand the historical-social path of LGBTQIA+ identities - after all, the mouth is body, like all other forms of corporeality, guided by socially constructed norms which we weave our existence.
