Zusammenfassung: | This paper seeks to develop a critical and analytical discussion on the production of the effeminate identity, using two videos and a documentary film published in the internet: 'Gays Afeminados' ("effeminate gay men"); 'Lazaro, 22'; and 'Bichas, o documentario' ("Fairy, the documentary"). These audiovisual productions contest the abject place destined to effeminate gay men, reinstalling them as a transformative potency. Along with queer theoreticians, cultural studies, feminist studies, post-structuralism and social communication, this paper questions the offensive character attributed to femininity in the relations established between queens and in the LGBT movement, and the attempt to extinguish what is culturally labeled as feminine from the construction of the bodies and identities. Such videos, especially when they extrapolate the scope of the internet and influence mass media, become tools for the transformation of the masculine domination model, including the ideal of hegemonic masculinity and heteronormativity asserted by the queens themselves. |
