Michel Foucault E As Lutas Políticas Do Presente: Para Além Do Sujeito Identitário De Direitos, Andre De Macedo Duarte, Maria Rita De Assis César

Andre de Macedo Duarte

ABSTRACT. The text discusses Foucauldian notions such as aesthetics of existence and subjectivation, employing them in order to clarify new forms of political action promoted by autonomous collectives such as the Slut Walk, whose queer inspiration establishes a clear distinction against traditional identity movements.

This notion seems important to understanding new forms of political engagement which do not limit …
