Abstract

The discourse that we could think as instituted on sexuality, blend naturally, sexuality to biological reproduction. The latter is positioned as the cornerstone of the dominant senses. Then, all discourse, agreement, relationship, etc. remaining outside of this mandate is intended to exclusion. However, in recent years, diverse actors put in check this (natural) definition. The women´s movement and then the one of sexual diversity, have articulated a political practice determined to expose these senses by emphasizing the false naturalness with which have underpins the dominant logic and denounce the regimes of domination implicit on the constructions. This essay attempts to show a small portion of interventions against the instituted discourse. Taking into account the specific way of use of images on the public space.
