As perspectivas teóricas queer e o uso cotidiano da língua portuguesa
Queertheoretische Perspektiven auf den alltäglichen Gebrauch der portugiesischen Sprache
- This article reflects on the theoretical contributions of the queer perspective and the usage of the Portuguese language. This paper is divided in three parts. Initially, the queer perspective and some of its basic concepts will be presented, concerning the Portuguese language and its usage. The second part, based on three examples of language usage, will discuss some meanings of its social practice. The third part focuses on the consequences of the queer perspective. As a conclusion, this paper indicates the queer theory´s contributions, its revisionist impulses and the risk of a theoretical dead-end .
