É PRECISO ESQUECER QUE SOU UMA TRAVESTI: Sobre afetações trans - do eu-só, ao eu-comunidade

Abstract

The present work is developed as an autoethnographic manifesto that seeks to challenge the receiver about the ways of listening aimed at dissident bodies of gender, sex and race. In this autoethnography, I show my trajectory within the university from the self alone, to the self of the community, in order to bring to light a little of what is the trajectory of an academic transvestite body. To launch the challenge, the ballroom community in Paraíba is used as the main instrument to highlight the power in the embodied communication of these subjects. I bring the history of this community, highlighting the reason for its emergence, and show the power of revealing powers present in the ballroom. Finally, I evaluate the ballroom as a communitas of the modern era to bring the logics developed during this production closer to a classical anthropology. This is not intended to be a work of closed formulations, because going in the opposite direction, I believe in knowledge gaps to produce gaps in the system.
