SUMMARY:

In recent years, the approach to minority studies in the political, social, and academic fields has been of great relevance. Therefore, this research aims to understand how the homosexual protagonist is constructed, with regard to what Bakhtin (2015) calls the ideological formation of the character, in the novel Nasci sem um caminho de volta [I was born with no way back], by Brazilian writer Raimundo Neto. Thus, it seeks to answer the following research question: To what extent is violence an aesthetic-ideological element to the construction of the main character’s ideological formation in Nasci sem um caminho de volta? The analysis is based on Bakhtin’s theory of the novel, in cooperation with concepts from queer theory and discussions on symbolic and sexual violence, as a possible dialogue with themes necessary for the dialogical analysis of the narrative. Specifically, for us to understand the ideological formation of the protagonist of the novel, the study of the clash between authoritarian discourses and internally persuasive discourses was necessary. This ideological study allowed us to state that the protagonist, from the assimilation of discourses, axiologically positions himself aiming to break with the heteronormative and family’s patriarchal order.
