GOMES, Vitor; CAETANO, Andressa Mafezoni  and  PINEL, Hiran. The Phenomenology of bodies that should not produce desire. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.1, e54438.  Epub Jan 01, 2020. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n154438.

It is an article, with theoretical inspiration in existential phenomenology. It intends to reveal senses/senses about the body which must not produce desire, from the body with cerebral palsy, from the sexual arousal of the Gabriela Brimmer character, from the film Gaby, a true story. As methodology, it uses tools from the from the phenomenological research such as description and version of the sense. As result, it shows that the production reveals the protagonism of the girl, who has a paralyzed body, but not immobile, not silenced by craving, breaking the paradigm of the person with cerebral palsy as an eternal infant, asexual and, thus destitute of desires. As a conclusion, it points out that stifling sexual desire means silencing vital desires, which permeate existences.

Keywords : Paralyzed body; Sexuality; Phenomenological inspiration.
