| Sumario: | The present work takes up the concept of “low theory” (Halberstam, 2018), referring to a mode of recovery of certain materials such as children's cartoons, avant-garde performances, and queer art. My intention here is to address some widely circulated anime from the 90s and 2000s aimed at a young audience, in which it is possible to recognize slight deviations from heteronormativity within heterosexual, cisgender, and misogynistic narrative and affective scripts. In an attempt to reclaim queer discomfort (Ahmed, 2015) without presenting exemplary subjects to broaden queer representations, we propose identifying queer gestures (Muñoz, 2018) in the classic figure of the “lecherous old man”, within anime where erotic elements and gender bender come into play. There are hints of non-normative sexualities deeply linked to forms of misogynistic violence, so that the norm and its discussion appear intertwined. Therefore, I aim to draw on the notion of an “archive” as explored by theorists such as Ann Cvetkovich (2018), to point out how these materials can be part of a queer feelings archive. |
