Abstract

The article presents analyzed lesbianity on the Internet, with Tumblr selected as a place of analysis, specifically pages of women self-identified as lesbians or that through the contents of their Tumblrs showed interest lesbianity. The material analyzed comprised images taken from these pages. In this article, the main theme is the body, one of the scopes of analysis that emerged from the research. The methodology used was based on Rosa Fischer (2002), deconstruction based on Derrida (2002), and the theoretical reference based on concepts of Foucault (2008, 2010), Judith Butler (2000, 2004, 2013) and Preciado (2002, 2008). The analysis showed sexuality and gender as elements that allow the materialization of lesbianity in the bodies of the images analyzed through a rupture with the woman-female-heterosexual regime.
