Performances e discursos de subjetividade em transição das identidades de gênero de mulheres trans no município de araguaína- to.

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze gender performances and discourses of subjective empow- erment of female identities. A priori, the points of view coined in subjectivity are the starting point, to then move on to the appreciation of concrete cases, which starts from the expressions and activities of the people under study, within their local and temporal contexts, in addition to to highlight its specificities. Our research was carried out in 2021 during the month of June, with the city of Araguaína-TO as the research location. Ten trans women were interviewed to carry it out. The research is based on the qualitative perspective by Uwe Flick (2009), to retell the life stories of the transsexual women protagonists of the research. We present a theoreti- cal/methodological and scientific dialogue between authors about transsexuality, identity, discourse, performativity, territoriality, in tune with the reflections of Guacira Lopes Louro (2008), Berenice Bento (2008), Letícia Lanz (2015), Judith Butler (2003 ) and Rubra Pereira de Araujo (2012), it is necessary to highlight that, with regard to the construction of oral his- tory, it is based on the studies of Alessandro Portelli (2016). The research considers that the performances/performativities and the discourses of subjectivities of non-welcome by institu- tions: family, school, their territory and place of local experiences. However, the recognition of gender identity with the gender opposite to that assigned to them at birth is noticeable from early childhood to the present day when they have begun and are carrying out their gender transitions even when going against sociocultural norms. , and the territory imposed on the gender and biological sex assigned to them at birth. With this research, life stories now be- come part of the local history of Araguaína, as the research can tell life stories that were and still are silenced and excluded from the understanding of Local History.
