Entre os frios da razão e o estremecer das doçuras: a desconstrução do gênero a partir de uma experiência etnográfica no espetáculo Agreste.

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to problematize gender issues from the experience of the researcher confronted with the theatrical play Agreste, to this it was considered relevant thread take as binary and heteronormative affectations provided by the experience of the researcher when he was in the role of spectator, thus allowing to analyze the deconstruction of gender in queer perspective. When watching that play, the spectator was surprised by the dramatic surprise of the plot, which made her as studious theme, realize that heteronormativity was not an abstraction that operated outside but that embodied within and beneath which by vector its effects. Based on this experience and the encounter between abstractions and real consequences, this study developed that required a distinct form of writing that is not linear, and is intended to address one experiment that examines the issues, but the goal of this dissertation is not limited to queer issues. It also covers the dichotomous relationships within the research as subject / object, in which the participation as a knowledge indicates that the researcher is not guarded at a level where social reality not reach, affect change, and under which, in many cases, it even helps the reproduction of social structures that once denounced. Therefore this path is assumed the positions of subject and object, because the researcher is embedded in a context that, while they undress social issues, also sees producer and vector causes. The field has two time units: one in 2010, and another in 2013. Both complement the work, which, if present sexual practices organized hierarchically, directing to suggest that heterosexual and homosexual categories are fictitious attributes, strategies used by agents to allocate in order to strengthen social status. From the effects of the object of this research is to reveal the placeholders such fictions, which are made to define the ultimate truth of the subject, therefore, have real consequences. This work does not emphasize the sexual practices, but political issues and hierarchical organizing sexualities. To take account of this endeavor that not only deconstructs gender as binary language itself that the sediments, we use ethnography developed by Favret-Saada and the issue of affectation as a form of knowledge production, beyond the anthropology of experience and Turner performance.
