Discursos coloniais sobre gênero e sexualidade em enunciados da extrema-direita brasileira

Abstract

This article explores the discursive relationships between the localized production of statements and processes of solidification of cisheteronormative discourses, constitutive of the political repertoires of the Brazilian extreme right. Following a performative conception of language, gender and sexuality, combined with decolonial studies, our analyzes point to the effects of the pathologization of non-heterosexual sexualities, taken under the sign of abnormality and deviation from human nature. Thus, logics of racial classification of gender and deviant sexualities are resumed in the discourse of the Brazilian extreme right, which occurs through the affirmation of the modern-colonial subjective matrix, in which these dimensions of social life are considered stable, binary and prediscursive. In general terms, the work points out the role of discourse, materialized in the statements of different social practices, in the crystallization of colonial conceptions of gender and sexuality validated in the Brazilian far-right discourse.
