HOMOPHOBIA IN THE BRAZILIAN STATE VEIN: SUBJECTS, WEBS AND FRAMEWORKS
Homophobia.Patriarchy. Capitalism.Blood donation.State
The research addresses the intrinsic relationship between the Patriarchal Capitalist State and homophobia in terms of the participation of LGBTI+ subjects, in particular homosexual men, in the National Blood Policy. The general objective is to show this reality and with it, to show the forms of cessation of sexuality through normative devices that at all times seek to silence and marginalize those who flee from the social norms accepted and defended by bourgeois sociability: heteronormativity. It is assumed that oppression and exploitation are inseparable elements of the patriarchal capitalist mode of sociability and that in this scenario of blood donation, the State uses prejudice, discrimination and stigma in an architectural way. By finding the causal links in the relationship of these elements, arguments are outlined that indicate why the legal, technical and social mechanisms establish that the blood of these individuals is unworthy blood. Given the research problem, the theoretical framework was built through an exploratory bibliographic and documentary research, in the light of historical materialism, a method that allows a critical reading of the emergence of social oppression and exploitation. For this, the thesis is divided into three chapters. In the first, we seek to recover, in a panoramic way, significant historical elements for the debate on (homo)sexuality and the process of marginalization and control. In the second, it focuses on the intersection between stigma, prejudice and discrimination, used as mechanisms for maintaining norms and the current order. In the third, it is proposed, in the light of Marxist feminist productions, to (re)think the possibility of overcoming the Patriarchal Capitalist State and, with it, the elimination of expressions of oppression and exploitation. In this way, both in the academic and professional spheres, provoke a discussion that should be on the agenda, to contribute to an investigative and professional praxis that promotes the rights of all human beings on an equitable basis.
