A SUBALTERNIDADE DO SIGNO FEMININO NA SEXUALIDADE DO TRABALHADOR

Abstract

In this article, I intend to answer the following problem "how does the subalternity of the female sign, in the sexuality of the worker, legitimize the marginalization of effeminate gays in formal employment?". For this, I adopted the queer criticism in dialogue with the decolonial theory of gender as a way of analyzing how the processes of hierarchies and subalternizations of the female sign take place. Thus, I articulate statistical data with dissenting epistemologies in an attempt to understand the ways in which the processes of marginalization of these subjectes take place, specifically, in formal jobs. In the foreground, I promote a tension, from the decolonial feminist criticism, of the forms of marginalization of the female sign engendered by the colonization process. Later, in the theme of the sexual division of labor, problematizing the unequal processes of care. In the third topic, I articulate the two theories and make a joint criticism of formal employment. Finally, I promote tension to labor law and the experiences of these corporalities in this environment. I note that the processes of homophobia, in standard employment, are products of heterosexist colonial forms present to this day and that law cannot promote effective changes in this system.
