SANTOS, Daniel Kerry dos; AMARAL, Marília dos Santos  and  TONELI, Maria Juracy Filgueiras. Psychology, Politics of the Body, Gender and Sexualities: captures and resistances of everyday life. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.42, pp. 309-321. ISSN 1519-549X.

This paper discusses the ways in which cisheteronormativity regulates bodies, gender and sexuality, and functions as a system that normalizes, excludes, and exterminates differences. It is presented a debate on the historical production of the norm and its effects on management of the population and on modern governmentality. It is problematized how the precarity of life, based on sex, sexuality and gender norms, could be taken as a key element to rethink politics. From the analyses of the dispositif of sexuality and gender, it is suggested a cartography of the assemblages that produce concrete effects, like the production of the materiality of the bodies, gender and sexual (un)intelligibilities, the pathologization of gender and sexual multiplicities, the violence, the exclusion, and the stigmatization of dissident experiences. Finally, it is defended a critical psychology that must be aware of these regimes of truth and regimes of power.

Keywords : Gender; Sexuality; Body; Norm Violence; Political Psychology.
