GENDERS, SEXUALITIES, LAW AND SOCIAL JUSTICE: NECESSARY DIALOGUES

Abstract

This study of qualitative approach inquires about the necessity of discussing the issues of genders and sexualities in the field of legal knowledge. A descriptive mapping was performed in 2015, as well as a narrative bibliographic review. It intends to demonstrate the importance of a specific locus for the debates of genders and sexualities in interface with law and themes on social justice. It defends the necessary opposition to the current episteme of knowledge, particularly of modern legal science, which, when reaffirming the materialization of knowledge, adapts them to the hegemonic discourse about the categorizations of genders and sexualities.
