Abstract

MENDES, Roberta de Oliveira. Buck Angel, transexuality and gender: psiqueeranalytical considerations on the sex of a certain Angel. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2017, n.47, pp.91-110. ISSN 0100-3437.

The present article reflects on sex, gender and transexuality in light of psychoanalytical and queer theories, based on Buck Angel’s personal narratives and bodyness, insofar as made public by Dan Hunt’s documentary “Mr. Angel”. Moreover, the article addresses the inscription of “PerVert”, that the said transexual activist displays in a tattoo, rediscovering the subversive vocation and the immanent creativity of the infantile polymorphic-perverse sexuality as well as that of the bissexual matrix of the psyche.

Keywords : Transexuality; Gender identity; Psychoanalysis and queer theories; Polymorphic-perverse sexuality; Psychical bissexuality.
