Source text - Portuguese RESUMO
Este trabalho objetiva discutir como as representações de sujeitos que fogem à heteronormatividade nas histórias em quadrinhos traz à tona um discurso dominante construído e pautado em uma "matriz heterossexual", frequentemente reproduzido como natural. Para tanto, recorremos às pontuações dos estudos queer para analisar como os protagonistas das histórias cômicas brasileiras Super-Gay (1982), de Watson Portela, Rocky e Hudson e outras histórias (2004), de Adão Iturrusgarai, Mariana e Claudinha
(2008-2012), de Fernando Duarte e Muriel (2009-2013), de Laerte Coutinho, se diferenciam dos padrões normativos de gênero e sexualidade. Abordando também estudos sobre o humor, procuramos demonstrar como os personagens dialogam com as identidades divergentes e seus estereótipos enquanto formas
de representação cultural e como a comicidade dessas obras pode servir para reforçar ou refutar o status quo.
Translation - English ABSTRACT
This work aims to discuss how representations of subjects who escape heteronormativity, in comics, bring up a constructed dominant discourse, lined in a "heterosexual matrix", often reproduced as natural. Inasmuch, we explore the insights provided by Queer studies to analyze how the protagonists, in the comic stories Super-Gay (1982), by Watson Portela, Rocky e Hudson e outras histórias (2004), by Adão Iturrusgarai, Mariana e Claudinha (2008-2012), by Fernando Duarte and Muriel (2009-2013), by Laerte Coutinho, differ themselves from the normative patterns of gender and sexuality. By also addressing studies on humor, we demonstrate how these characters dialogue with divergent identities and their stereotypes as forms of cultural representation, and how
these works' comicality can reinforce or refute the mainstream discourse.
