Com quantos paus se faz uma mulher: estupro corretivo e a invisibilidade lesbiana

Abstract

The making of bodies feminized by the heteronormative cystem is carried out and reiterated on a daily basis by regulatory and civilizing norms of gender and sexuality that make lesbianism invisible, which only appears through the sieve of (un)human deviation and abnormality. In view of this, this dissertation attempts to problematize discursive and non- discursive practices that naturalize corrective rapes against lesbians taken as reparation for sexual dignity permeated by the technologies of sex and subjectivation. In the course of this bibliographic research, we highlight the queer and decolonial ethical-methodological composition, in the extension of institutional analysis through the tool of implication analysis as a way of tensioning technologies that make gender and sexuality, even today, a device of knowledge-power. We argue that rape was and still is a gendered technology of whitening, a 'correctional' practice of 'inverted' bodies that need to be civilized by subjection to reasonableness by the penetration of the cis, white, European, colonizing Man-form. Rape, a violation that is a component of constitutive/corrective acts on the unintelligible Other, in this case, the lesbian woman. Rape, a useful tool of composition/constitution/correction, producer of bodies and subjects.
