Cartografia de Judith Butler e dos estudos queer no Brasil

Abstract

The thesis deals with an investigation about how queer theory was received and, especially, Judith Butler's work in Brazil. Therefore, it was elucidated how the concepts explored by Butler were important for the development of queer studies and how their incorporation in the country made it possible to conceive new perspectives on analysis categories for Brazilian Social Sciences. Methodologically, the work is bibliographic and adopts a cartographic posture based on the contributions of Deleuze & Guattari (1995), Guattari & Rolnik (1996), Rolnik (2011), Eduardo Passos, Vírginia Kastrup and Liliana da Escóssia (2009) in order to unveil the possibilities of anthropophagy of Butler's thought and queer theory in Brazil. The research made it possible, by means of an exploration in the Bank of Theses and Dissertations of CAPES and in the Scielo Platform, to draw a rhizomatic map of queer and butlerian studies in Brazilian soil and to show original productions that dialogued with queer in the country in a pioneering way. Thus, the thesis aims to contribute to the debate on how the possible tensions, ruptures and problems proposed by Butler's thinking and by queer studies can be relevant to discussions on gender relations, sexualities, violence, precariousness, vulnerability and recognition.
