MELO, Flávia. The gender as catastrophe: religious performativities and the emergence of the “gender ideology” in Brazil. Etnográfica [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.3, pp.795-816.  Epub 25-Nov-2021. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.10190.

Since the late 1990’s, a religious literature that uses the term “gender ideology” to denounce a serious threat, capable of liquidating human existence has proliferated. Over the last decade, the expression has gradually been incorporated by different political groups and has gained a significant place in decisions regarding the recognition of sexual and reproductive rights, educational policies, peace processes and electoral disputes in many countries. In this article, I resort of Judith Butler’s theory of performativity to analyze the discursiveness engendered in the production of this category, its emergency context and the effects of its diffusion in Brazil.

Palabras clave : gender studies; sexual and reproductive rights; Brazilian parliament; gender ideology; eschatology.
