Sexualidad y multiplicidad. Lorde de João Gilberto Noll

Abstract

This paper reflects on the novel Lorde by João Gilberto Noll and its main character, who lacks a name, memory and nationality. He embarks on a trip and experiments with his sexuality. The reading proposed here is that this experimentation imagines sexuality in the limits of the idea of an individual body, of personhood and identity. Far from thinking sexuality as something intimate, the text seems to look at it as a point of encounter with the multitude.
