| description | <p class="IntResumoepalavras-chave">What can the <em>intersex</em> body tell us? How does this issue get more complex if we think about its representation in the media, specially in cinema? In this article, starting from Lucia Puenzo's <em>XXY</em>, we pose these and other questions related to deviant bodies and desires. With a subversive and non-pathologizing discourse, <em>XXY</em> proposes a careful look at the subjectivities of these experiences. We argue that the film, in resonance with the queer studies, is alert to the politicization of the abject bodies.</p><br /> |
