          Abstract

          Nesta versão condensada de seu livro homônimo, Sedgwick esboça uma reflexão sobre o "armário" como um dispositivo de regulação da vida de gays e lésbicas que concerne, também, aos heterossexuais e seus privilégios de visibilidade e hegemonia de valores. A pesquisadora norte-americana afirma que "o armário", ou o "segredo aberto", marcou a vida gay/lésbica no último século e não deixou de fazê-lo mesmo após o marco de Stonewall em 1969. Sedgwick argumenta ainda que esse regime, com suas regras contraditórias e limitantes sobre privacidade e revelações, público e privado, conhecimento e ignorância, serviu para dar forma ao modo como muitas questões de valores e epistemologia foram concebidas e abordadas na moderna sociedade ocidental como um todo.

          Translated abstract

          In this condensed version of her book, Sedgwick reflects about the "closet" as a regime of regulation of gay and lesbian lives that is also important to heterosexuals since it guarantees their privileges. Sedgwick affirms the "closet", or the "open secret", has been basic to lesbian/gay life for the last century even after Stonewall (1969). She also states that this regime - with its contradictory and constraining rules and limits about privacy and disclosure, public and private, knowledge and ignorance - has served to shape the way in which many questions about values and epistemology were comprehended in the Western Society as a whole.
