DZI CROQUETTES: invenções, experiências e práticas de si - masculinidades e feminilidades vigiadas

Abstract

As a constellation of speaking and desiring bodies, producing displacements, dispersion of gender and individuality. This way I can tell that Dzi Croquettewas important in a period of great effervescence and creativity in the field of the arts (theater, literature, music), Customs and habits such as sexual liberalization, but also of control, censorship, repression and violence, between beards, purples and sequins, the Dzi Croquettes, in the years 70, with their artistic performances marked by the ambiguity of genre, in a fusion of theater and humor, with strong steps, dances and rolls and combining in an unusual way football socks with high heels, bras with hairy breasts, false eyelashes with beards, erased the historical borders of gender. Not by chance, they said: “We are not men, nor are we women. We are people, people computed just like you!” In view of this, my goal is to historicize the meanings attributed to the experiences of masculinities and femininities in Dzi Croquettes. From a post-structuralist theoretical contribution, I appropriate some of the propositions of authors such as Michel Foucault, Joan Scott and Judith Butler, to think how generalized experiences and positions of identity are forged historically and to what extent Dzi Croquettes Helped to destabilize heteronormativity and a project/desire of social homogenization engendered by the "rotten powers" during the dictatorship
