Coragem da verdade e estética da existência em Tatuagem, o filme: uma leitura cínico-queer

Abstract

This work is an analysis of Tatuagem, o filme (Hilton Lacerda, 2013) from the concepts of courage of truth and aesthetics of existence discussed by Foucault. It focuses on the cynical form of the courage of truth and in queer policies and studies as theoretical analysis tools creating a dialogue between these two theoretical currents of thought that, with the analyzed film, exercise even a form of parresía in academic discourse. The methodological framework is based on Foucault's discourse analysis perspective, highlighting the genealogical period of this author introducing in the process some epistemological disobedience from Queer Studies. Focusing on the presentation of the fictitious group of the film, Chão de Estrelas, this work presents an analysis of the production of performativities and bodies as expressions of the courage of truth in the Tatuagem filmic discourse concluding that the film establishes itself as a counter discourse that is articulated with social practices of questioning normativities, subversion of identities and utopian production of bodies.
