THE GESTURE OF MEANING IN A DISCURSIVE ANALYSIS

THE HOMOSEXUAL BODY RESISTS

Abstract

Based on the theoretical-methodological assumption of Materialist Discourse Analysis, this work intends to analyze the body as discourse and as resistance. Thus, subject, discourse and body are part of the constitution of language, in which the crossing of the body by language produces meaning, and this meaning breaks with the meanings stabilized by the dominant ideology. In this way, this body resists, revealing the failures of ideological interpellation. For this, with theoretical references such as Pêcheux (1990, 2014, 2015), Orlandi (2007, 2015, 2017), Ferreira (1996, 2011, 2013, 2019) and others, we took as corpora Instagram posts from pages aimed at the LGBTQIA+ public , in which these bodies are discourses and resist normalization and, thus, produce meanings.
