Abstract

In the last decades, gender and sexuality have circumscribed an innovative field of increasing intellectual production, becoming at the same time a significant focus of political action for anthropologists in Brazil. In order to put into perspective the disputes that are at stake in the current Brazilian context – in which the knowledge we produce has been severely attacked – we will revisit some documents of public positioning, published by the Gender and Sexuality Committee of the Brazilian Association of Anthropology (ABA) over the last few years. We propose a reflection on the kind of knowledge we have produced about gender and sexuality, how it has impacted the public debate about these issues and how it has affected the ways in which our own scientific practice has been socially perceived and evaluated.
