brazilian thought, sexuality, queer theory of knowledge.Abstract
This article is a confession as well as a promise to take philosophy "out of the closet" and, from the traces left by Derrida, ressexualize philosophy. To do so, it is necessary to work with two aspects that justify this kind of movement: the question of sexuality in philosophy and the development of a brazilian tought. The first aspect leds to a formulation of a "queer theory of knowledge" that praises the artificiality against any defence to the natural and, above all, denounces the neutrality and universality as a dessexualization of knowledge. The second aspect touches in the wound of the so called brazilian philosophy since its non-existence would be derived from the lack of love to its own language and from a fear to na impure origin (in the best sense) of the brazilian culture. From this movement arises the idea of a philosophy in and from the third gender; a crossbreed philosophy; a philosophy from and on the streets. Lastly, there is a report about the importance of the deputy Jean Willys to the construction of this world "out of the closet".
