Desejo e dissidências de gênero diante da farmacopornografia a partir da desconstrução

Abstract

This is an essay that comes from concerns that have accompanied me for several years about the means in which we have collectively transformed the way we deal with gender dissidence, from the context of my intimate circles to media dissemination. Recognizing myself as such, and therefore personally participating and involved in this context, the idea came from trying to elaborate on some of the questions by immersing in a bibliography of mostly philosophy, (trans)feminist and queer critical theory. But not only that, since listening, whether to experience, to the body, to the surroundings, to networks and dissident experiences themselves, their poetics and politics, adds a lot to the breathing space of thought, turning it into a meeting point. The ‘micropolitics of the crossing’ emerge from the conversation with the work of trans philosopher, curator and filmmaker Paul B. Preciado, as strategies for coping with a changing world. In the course of writing, language comes up against power, masculinities, normativities, molecules, desires and capital. Preciado's pharmacopornography brings elements for thinking about the implications of technoscience and medicalisation of sexuality, touching on themes such as agency, autonomy and subjectivity, considering the binary heterocolonial paradigms of the sex-gender system. “Proceed, then, by seeking out the edges, the walls, the passages”, says Derrida. Deconstruction exposes language games and cryptic layers in the text, and leads us to displacements, to the margins. The dimension of all that is collective matters, and so the notions of recognition and belonging will be pertinent to desire.
