SUMMARY:

In seeking to avoid solipsism, Psychology has developed critical approaches that recognize the complexity inherent in human psychological development and highlight the interdependence between subjectivity and culture as a unit of analysis. By integrating psychology with other human and social sciences, these approaches promote a deeper analysis of human development and contemporary issues such as prejudice, discrimination, inequality, and power, examining how these factors permeate psychological development. With this in mind, this project uses Semiotic Cultural Psychology as the main approach to analyzing and interpreting human phenomena, articulating it with Queer Theory and Decolonial Studies in an attempt to offer new perspectives on human development. Queer Theory and Decolonial Studies highlight the power dynamics that reproduce oppression and challenge dominant paradigms. Both question normative and binary identities, valuing the plurality and complexity of human experiences and promoting resistance to established hegemonic norms. Thus, we aim to analyze the production of meanings about ways of existing in the world of non-binary people who fall outside the cisheteronormative binary pattern. The research seeksIn seeking to avoid solipsism, psychology has developed critical approaches that recognize the complexity inherent in human psychological development and to understand how these identities challenge and resist modern and colonial norms, contributing to a multifaceted understanding of human diversity, and the processes of forming the self, meanings, and ways of being in the world. To this end, a qualitative methodology with an idiographic approach will be used. This approach will allow an in-depth analysis of the production of meanings about ways of existing outside the modern Western cisheteronormative standard and how processes of resistance to social norms permeate the development trajectories of non-binary people. Thus, semi-structured interviews and focus group will be conducted with up to four adults (over 18) who identify as non-binary and who live or have lived for a significant period during adolescence and/or adulthood in the Federal District, Brazil. The data construction procedures will follow five phases: 1. contact with potential participants; 2. mapping of trajectories, investigating how issues related to gender and lesbianism permeate their trajectories and contribute to the construction of their self-concepts as non-binary people; 3. analysis of family relationships in the production of meaning and the formation of the self; 4. investigation of the participants' LGBTQIAPN+ support networks, understanding the dynamics of the production of meaning and collective resistance; 5. discuss the notes and analyses made throughout the study, individually or collectively. This research, therefore, could significantly contribute to expanding and deepening theoretical-empirical discussions about corporeality, resistance and human development in Psychology, based on the triangulation between Cultural Semiotic, Queer and Decolonial epistemologies.
