Kátia Tapety: ora mulher, ora travesti? Gênero, sexualidade e identidades em trânsito no Brasil
(2014-12) GONTIJO, Fabiano de Souza
We analyze the biography of Kátia Tapety - the first transsexual to hold political office in Brazil - and, based on the seminal texts of Peter Fry, outline some questions about the systems of representations of sexuality in Brazil and the peculiar ways in which sexuality and gender are (or not) linked.

Nation-Building, gênero e política no Cazaquistão: o caso do Homem Dourado
(Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social do Museu Nacional, da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, 2018-12) GONTIJO, Fabiano de Souza
In 1969, 60 km from Alma-Ata, the capital of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Kazakhstan, archaeologists excavated a funerary structure of the kurgan type, an outfit enveloping a skeleton dating from the 5th or 4thcentury BC. Richly decorated with more than 4,000 pieces of gold, the remains were dubbed “Golden Man”. Believed to be a young Scythian-Saka prince, it soon became one of the most important symbols of a nascent Kazakh nationality. However, subsequent research carried out since the late 1990s, suggest that the “Golden Man” was in fact a “Golden Woman”. The ensuing debate has had an evident impact on the reformulation of the representations of Kazakh national identity. In this article, I will reflect on the relationship between nation-building, gender and the political role of archaeology/anthropology, from the standpoint of a Brazilian anthropologist-cum-tourist who visited Kazakhstan in December 2017.
