Open-access THE INSERTION OF THE HOMOSEXUAL IN LEGAL DISCOURSES: THE CASE OF POLICE EDICTS IN CORDOBA PROVINCE, ARGENTINA

Abstract

This paper identifies ways in which the legal discourse participates in the materialization of sex through the production and incitation of the "homosexual" as a sex/gender identity. To perform this task empirically, a historical narrative is constructed to account for the possible conditions of insertion of the "homosexual" in provincial police edicts in Córdoba, Argentina, in 1944. Theoretically, a performative approach to gender and legal discourses is developed, in order to denaturalize identities and conceive them as power effects and political-historical inventions.
