An anarchic-curriculum tattoed in the ass

Abstract

Through post-critical theories of the curriculum, our aim in this text is to map the dissidences of masculinity that are produced in the film Tatuagem (Brazil, 2013, directed by Hilton Lacerda) understanding the power of the film in educating people to look at diferences of gender and sexuality. The film, one of the representatives of the new era of Pernambuco cinema, tells the story of the love relationship between Clécio, a tropicalist artist, and Arlindo, a shy soldier who serves the military regime in the year 1978. As a methodology, cartography, inspired in the philosophers of difference Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, served as a guide for a creative and inventive attention around images. We conclude that the countercultural experience of the characters in Tatuagem produces an anarchic-curriculum that operates dissidences in masculinities in two movements: 1) through the force of irony and debauchery, the anarchy of language and performance and 2) through a becoming- woman who comes out through the ass, this territory of pleasure abjectified by heterosexual culture, but which gains rhizome strength in the film.
