SUMMARY:

The present work aims to co-construct unique narratives of gender and sexuality dissent with dissident subjects from the city of Natal/RN and their personal photographic collections. The co-construction proposal opposes the discursivity that reinforces the pathological representation of gender and sexuality dissent and the invisibilization of singularities. This discursiveness is present in the field of studies on the mental health of dissident people which, through a quantitative research bias, highlight the marked forms of psychological suffering in the LGBT+ population, as well as the recurrence of the phenomenon of suicide in this group. Therefore, the need emerges to make the experiences of dissident people visible through the complexification of dissent narratives, in addition to problematizing the production of these captures by death. It starts from the perspective that the death of dissident bodies is closely related to the effects of biopolitics, proposed by Michel Foucault, and necropolitics, proposed by Achille Mbembe. In this way, it is proposed that those subjects who survive carry in life the stories of the marks of these processes, but also the remains of the experience in which the power of resistance may reside. Based on psychoanalytic ethics, this research emerges as a work of memory, which focuses on reuniting with the remains of what has been experienced to resist normative frameworks. To this end, gender and sexuality dissident subjects were invited to narrate their own stories of dissent. Betting on the dimension of the archive as something that makes a body materialize, the invitation to narrative was supported by photographs from each subject's personal collection. With the records of the research field diary, the transcribed texts of each listening session and the shared photographs, the researcher has produced writings that tell what was heard from each participant, seeking to construct unique narratives. These narrative writings will be shared with the participants so that, in the retroactive time of the Freudian a posteriori, they can intervene, review and rewrite them. Two of the four interviews carried out are presented here, in the form of narratives that compose memories of dissent and face the statistics of death and mental illness. Photography enters the scene of narration as an image that demands words. The recovery of memories with photographic support brings out the intimacy of what appears in the body - an invitation to the work of memory and naming. Addressing the memories of dissent to the task of this research seems to produce unique effects on the subjects, which can be discussed soon, when the narrative is seen again and rewritten with the participants. It is hoped, therefore, that it will be possible to make the effects of this ethical-political bet on the power of remains emerge more clearly.
