| Sumario: | This book is a brief compendium that articulates queer studies and sexual dissidence. One of the objectives of this work is to reflect on other forms of "unusual" pleasure for a model majority, which have been thought, exhibited and shaped by the artists. Following Michel Foucault: "Against the device of sexuality, the fulcrum of the counterattack should not be sex-desire, but bodies and pleasures." Another objective is to show certain ways in which it became possible to enunciate, symbolize, represent and make visible sexual dissidence in different socio-historical moments in Literature and Visual Arts (photography, sculpture, cinema, performances, painting, installations), starting from the period between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries. It was based on insistences, which connected Jean Broc, Aubrey Beardsley, Oscar Wilde, Gustave Moreau, Jean Genet, Marcel Jouhandeau, Enio Iommi, André Gide, Yukio Mishima, Ilse Fuskova, Judy Chicago, Gina Pane, Francis Bacon, Robert Gober, Robert Mapplethorpe, Fakir Musafar, Del LaGrace Volcano, Siri Gurudev, among others.
