Sexualization by civil organization: the Brazilian LGBT movement and commodity-producing patriarchy

Abstract

This work presents reflections on the relationship between patriarchy and the construction of regulations of the social life in modernity from a logic that dissociates the masculine (as enlightened reason, the value that values ??itself) and the feminine (the dominated nature, the value-dissociation in the shadow of value). Thus, I intend to analyze the guidelines of the Brazilian LGBT movement that has navigated in its history within the logic of the fight for rights and therefore, still stuck in the logic of dissociation. The theoretical framework in which path is the critique of value and dissociation proposed by Roswitha Scholz that, beside the critical theory of society introduced by Adorno and Horkheimer, follows the analysis of gender as a fundamental social form to understand the domination of the feminine and all social forms that are similar to it, placed outside the valorization process, located in the field of care, kindness, affection and attention. I conclude that we need to rethink the way to a transforming political struggle beyond the logic of legal organization and regulation.
