“Transgente”: mergulhos nas significações de corpos transgressores

Abstract

The proposal of this text is to problematize aspects of the Brazilian documentary "De gravata e unha vermelha" by the psychoanalyst, writer and director Miriam Chnaiderman, exploring the transgender revolts’ waters and focusing on the concepts of transgression, resistance and heterotopia in Michel Foucault's work. We dive ourselves into "transgente" concept coined by Letícia Lanz, by the contradictions of the bodies and their subjectivation processes. We point to strangeness of linearity of the sex-body-gender relations, in force the discourse of truths in contemporary western society. We broaden the discussions horizons in the field of multiplicities of possibilities to inhabit this world. The reflections are unfolding from a research of the professional masters’ degree in education at the Federal University of Lavras – UFLA that ‘surfed’ by rhizomatic processes of analysis and that constantly indicate us other, new and many discursive practices that challenge questions. Thus, when we problematize the issues about transgenders and sexualities expressions we instigate to elaborate questions that can be generating by many others.
