Resumo: This work aims to understand the Brazilian identity politics that emerge from an incessant media game, in which sociopolitical causes are fused with aesthetic options offered by the talking faces of influencers and design elements on social media platforms. With that, politics merges with aesthetics, transforming the way citizenship education is guided, especially among young people and adolescents. Starting from classic discussions around identities and aesthetics understood as political potential, we will observe how these phenomena appear in the digital world. To do so, we use as a case study two examples related to the LGBTQIA+ Community in Brazil. As a result, we observed that the aestheticization of identities, despite being a contemporary phenomenon typical of the visuality of the analyzed digital environments, can also claim spaces of power in which the image plays a significant role.

Com isso, a política se funde com a estética, transformando a maneira como se orienta a formação cidadã, principalmente entre jovens e adolescentes. Partindo de discussões clássicas em torno das identidades e da estética entendida como potencial político, observaremos como esses fenômenos aparecem no digital. Para tanto, utilizamos como estudo de caso dois exemplos relacionados à comunidade LGBTQIA+ no Brasil: Rita Von Hunty e Erika Hilton. Como resultado, observamos que a estetização das identidades, apesar de constituir um fenômeno contemporâneo próprio da visualidade dos ambientes digitais analisados, pode também reivindicar espaços de poder em que a imagem tem papel significativo. PEPG COS-PUC-SP2023-11-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/galaxia/article/view/62418Galaxia; Vol. 48 No. 1 (2023): GaláxiaGALÁxIA.
