Metafísica de gênero, niilismo e cinismo: uma análise do discurso sexual comtemporâneo

Abstract

This dissertation analyses the metaphysical aspects of the discourse on sexuality, originated from the philosophical tradition and from the understandings of the contemporary theorics. We also indicate the relation of these metaphysical aspects in the common sense and in sexual minorities policies. Thus, our analysis encompasses three levels of the discourse on sexuality: the discourse of the common sense, the political and the philosophical discourses. On the other hand, the dissertation proposes a conception of sexuality as will to power, based on Nietzsche´s philosophy, as well as on Deleuze´s and Guattari´s works. The critique of the concept of identity is used as background for the discussion, indicating its relations to Nietzsche s critique of the subject, the nihilism and the cynicism. Cynicism is here understood as an aspect of passive nihilism, based on authors as Slavoj i ek and Vladimir Safatle. Such question will be analyzed working with the hypothesis that there is a nihilistic and cynical aspect in homosexual movement.
