This article presents an analysis of Michel Laub's O tribunal da quinta-feira, published in 2016, in order to understand how the narrator (and protagonist) tells his own story, how it is intertwined with the very history of AIDS in Brazil and what his personal relationships tell us about his identity as a cisheterosexual man. The narrator José Victor's account evokes a kind of “AIDS genealogy” as a way of giving meaning to his life experiences, especially sexual ones. Despite being critical of the stigmatization of people infected with HIV and homophobia, José does not spare women around misogynistic discourses disguised as sense of humor. In addition, issues such as heteronormativity, disciplinary society and pornography are in focus. To think about the questions brought by this narrative, the following authors were mainly used: Perlongher (1987), Bourdieu (1996), Foucault (1999), Sontag (2007) and Rich (2010).References
