REVISTA NIN E ALETA VALENTE:

o queer na representação do corpo das mulheres

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to understand how the queer can function as an instrument of mobilization for the liberation of the woman's body. For this, the essay of Aleta Valente by Nin Magazine will be analyzed to show how traces of the queer theory can be found in the publication in order to deconstruct stereotypes about women and the representation of the female body. In the theoretical part it was approached a brief history on the sexuality of the woman and presented concepts of queer theory. For the analysis, the methodology used was Iconography and Iconology, proposed by Panofsky, through which it was possible to conclude that Nin in fact represents a new way of being a woman and looking at women.
