RESUMO

The representation of a woman, like this, in the singular form, subjected to heterosexuality, is broken in the homoaffective relationship among women, in which the masculine is excluded, and the invisibility of lesbians may represent a contradiction to the naturalized binary order, dominated by the masculine. Linked to stigmatized models, seen as maidens, macho-women, and others, the lesbians are either treated derogatively or silenced in the historical narratives. Our research aims look into the web of relations present in the relationship among women and their struggle for social and political visibility, treating the lesbian subject as a range of questions facing the social representations and their self-representations. The aim of this study is to point out de lesbian movements in Brazil and to study their written and imagistic representations, aiming to analyze different theoretical and political perspectives along the time and in different regions of Brazil. The theories of social representations are part of our theoretical basis, as well as notions about the functioning of the imaginary aspect that lies on them. The feminist theorizations are the axis which the object construction goes around and the questions on which our focus concentrates. We searched into registers of lesbian, feminist, and LGBTTs (lesbian, gays, bisexual, transsexual and travestites) movements the discursive characteristics which produce lesbian representations from differentiated views and based on political strategies singularly belonging to the studied groups.
