Perspectivas históricas e contemporâneas de mulheres lésbicas no Brasil: silenciamentos e (in) visibilidades interseccionadas

Abstract

The present research seeks to analyze the origin and trajectory of the lesbian movement, going beyond it, when it did not yet exist, from the search for knowledge of the history of lesbian women. With the aim of exposing that, despite the violence perpetrated, the attempts to invisibilize and impose heteronormative standards, their existences "screamed" at different moments, drawing their own stories and the history of so many other women. In this sense, it will seek to make efforts to focus on these women and their stories. As a methodology we will use Foucauldian studies, escaping from the finalist idea, looking in order to perceive details and diversities, in addition to documentary and bibliographic analysis in works and official bodies. That said, the research will continue taking the theme of gender and sexuality, situated in a certain cultural moment, from the correlation between systems of power and intellectual formation, which, when trying to silence lesbian women, tried to erase them from local, national history. and worldwide, affecting the production of subjectivities and, consequently, sexuality, food and creating even more discrimination and violence.
