An Overview of the State of the on Gender and Sexuality in Research

Abstract

Brazil is in a worrying scenario in terms of violations of rights, especially with regard to sexual minorities. Taking into account that this scenario produces intense suffering, it is important to construct spaces of data, discussion and reflection which relate to networks that evolve gender and sexuality. In this sense, this study, marked by the genealogical perspective of Foucault, is a bibliographical research, using a quantitative study, which was constructed from the analysis of the databases SciELO, LILACS and Lattes. This analysis sought to point out how gender and sexuality issues are approached in the humanities productions, especially in Psychology. It was found that the psychological science is not involved with this subject. However, it is worth mentioning that the studies of Psychology studied here point to a more critical analysis that defends the production of senses, distancing itself from a more positivist perspective.
