This text investigates the precarious rebellion of a queer body in performance, utilizing the concepts of "escrevivências" (Conceição Evaristo, 2018), cartography (Suely Rolnik, 2018), and performance (Tânia Alice, 2016) as research tools. The study establishes a field of reflection on macro and micropolitical practices, examining experiences within these spheres and their intersection with the analysis of the performance "Uniformizing-myself," carried out by one of the authors. The research focuses on describing the aforementioned performance, conceiving it as a micropolitical practice in which the queer body becomes a site of resistance and political expression. The text below is performative yet experimental, where the authors seekto present alternative forms of academic writing, incorporating the bodily and subjective experiences of the queer body into their writing experience. Thus, the aim is to contribute to expanding the understanding of body and sexuality politics while simultaneously subverting conventional academic writing practices.
