Poder e verdade: os padrões da heteronormatividade na construção do sujeito

Abstract

Through readings on sexuality in the third Foucault, on ethical issues, and complemented by works of other philosophers and researchers who have been important in studying the relationship between our bodies and power, this work seeks to investigate the relationship between these two terms, considering the formal and informal use of discourse. It is necessary to analyze the pattern of heteronormativity, which guides power in the exercise of its mechanisms and devices of sexuality. This necessity arises from the continuous repression that power exerts on people who do not fit into normative standards, who resist an established order, such as LGBTQIA+ individuals. Thus, the work, through the full exercise of philosophy as self-knowledge, will provide a profound reflection on the conditions of possibility for us to know ourselves in our truth. By understanding historically and critically the role of moral diagnosis between right and wrong through the conflict of power relations.
