Design abjeto: o queer eu tenho a ver com isso?

Abstract

This research work intends to investigate practices in the field of design that collaborate with the erasure and abjection of dissident and disobedient bodies, limiting a cut to trans, transvestites and non-binary people. Here I come to unveil how the cisheteronormativity constituted by institutions of power such as the State, the Church, the School and the Family, which decide which bodies can occupy the spaces of society, in addition to strengthening the idea of so-called natural bodies, of gender binarity between man and woman, also showing how these binary bodies should relate sexually. From this, I will go through situations where design reinforces these normative rules, in order to queerize these practices so that they are no longer seen as normal, presenting and pointing out ways to use this tool in order to encompass all bodies and their performances as a existence validity. The research will be approached from three structuring axes, autobiographical reports, approach to the field of gender studies and the field of design.
