- Abstract
This article discusses an imagery sequence shared in WhatsApp groups for bareback performance of desire and the brief interaction that ensues from it. We argue that the images resemanticize the male anus as a female organ, destabilizing the anatomical system of gender classification and promoting a re-inscription of the body into the politics of desire. The semiotic reconfiguration of the anatomical body makes it possible to discuss the performativity of images, that is, their agentive, transformative potentiality. Performances such as that of the assgina contribute to gender and image studies by disrupting the body as an anchoring of gender. Inspired by Austin (1990 [1962]), Derrida (1988 [1972]), and Butler (2007 [1990]), we adopt the Erotica of Signs (BONFANTE, 2016) as methodology and indexicality (SILVERSTEIN, 2003) as the main analytical tool. The results suggest not only that the materiality of bodies depends on their performance and the socio-historical framework that governs it, but also that the semioses at play are one of the main ingredients of our corporeal materiality.
