My objective in this article is to share an opening reflection on a group of socio-discursive performances that I have termed bellicose masculinities, a reflection that is rooted in an indisciplinary dialogue with different areas of knowledge. Based on the critical reading of two performances and considering the current Brazilian socio-political context, I argue that bellicose masculinities are characterized by the subjects' engagement in necrodiscursive practices that (re)produce frames of war in different social contexts. Therefore, I suggest the work with post-identity literacies as a way of textually queering the repertoires mobilized by bellicose masculinities, so that it becomes possible to produce meanings, performances, and frames that challenge the paradigm and the rhetoric of war in contemporary Brazil.
