Resumo
The present work investigates the scientification of transgressive sexualities in Brazil, exposing
how psychological knowledge integrated this process. For this purpose, it historicizes the Brazilian
psychological ideas about transgressive sexualities, from its emergence, in the colonial period, until
the appearance of the Brazilian Circle of Sexual Education (CBES), in the 1930s. The objective is
to understand the process that brought medical-psychological knowledge to the quasi-monopoly of
knowledge about transgressive sexuality in Brazil. To do so, we carried out a bibliographicdocumentary
study in which we used academic productions pertinent to our subject, besides the set
of criminal codes in Brazil from the colonial period to the 1930s and some doctoral theses, used as
primary sources. The results indicate two historical forms of approaching transgressive sexualities
in Brazil: a religious-Christian form and a scientifical and medical-psychological one; the penal
codes express the ideas, values and practices considered transgressives of the sexual norms in
vogue during the historical formation of Brazilian society; the medical-psychological knowledge
composes the criminal-legal domain, becoming an aspect of the prison sentence; the Society of
Jesus was the precursor, in the religious-Christian approach, of psychological ideas about sexuality;
the concern with the psychological aspects of transgressive sexual practices is developed within
medical knowledge during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; sexuality has become a
medical-legal category; the CBES is the expression of the consolidation of the scientifical and
medical-psychological treatment of sexuality in Brazil. These results may contribute to the
reflection on the articulation between psychological knowledge and transgressive sexuality in
Brazil and its forms of manifestation, as in "crimes against sexual dignity".
