O que dá humanidade ao corpo? Desdobramentos do sexo-gênero para o reconhecimento da intersexualidade

Abstract

This thesis made possible an investigation about body, sex, gender and recognition in order to problematize and analyze the discursive practices that involve intersexuality. Therefore, medical documents, legal documents and data produced by DataSus were analyzed in order to interpret the discourses that produce invisibility of the intersex body. In this sense, the research understands that intersexuality appears as a disassembly of binary biological fiction established in the so-called male and female bodies, as it shows a sex that does not end with sexual difference. It is a body continnum naturally presented by the biological body. Methodologically, intersexuality articulates distinct discourses and knowledges and allows as narrative production to transit in different fields, so we sought in this joint investigation between document analysis the observation of two hospitals in the city of Natal / RN, semistructured interviews with professionals in the field of health of observed hospitals and case study with a young potiguar intersex in order to locate intersex in the NB. From the queer studies the research thinks sex and gender as categories meaning from the culture and the dialogue with Mauro Cabral (2005), Aníbal Guimarães (2014), Paula Sandrine Machado (2005) provide a critical and sociological reflection on the intersex experience, trying to cross the discourses that regulate and dismantle the intersex bodies in the pretension of (re) creating a sex in congruence with the gender in the heteronormative logic.
