This work seeks to analyze exemplary works censored in 2017 in Brazil,
discussing how gender and sexuality norms affect our social structure based on
concepts from the extensive work of Judith Butler, Paul B. Preciado and Michel
Foucault, in a dialogue with the Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, and
exploring how gender/sex norms are intricate in the production of self-censorship,
especially when talking about censorship of works of art in a queer perspective. The
philosophical trajectory of this work is based on the hypothesis of censorship as a
mechanism of repression, as well as the performativity of normative masculine and
feminine genders as a traumatic repetition of the imposition of a heterocisnormative
aesthetic embedded in the perception of the image of the self and the ideal self.
