In this paper we attempt to problematize some of the limitations of queer theory, proposing a more unrestricted theoretical view, capable of establishing correlations between gender, race, ethnicity and class. In order to articulate such identity cleavages, we address the contributions of intersectional thinking and quare studies, an interventionist disciplinary project which amplifies the prototypical, analytical and epistemological dimensions of queer studies to incorporate key issues faced by lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered people of color. From the analysis of Blackberri’s song Beautiful Blackman (1989), Giovanni’s Room (1956), a novel by African-American writer James Baldwin, and the photographic text of Érica Malunguinho (2018), by Sérgio Fernandes, we depict the operational potential of such a new proposal, allowing clearer readings of quare identities, forcibly restrained by hegemonically instituted regimes.Downloads
