Sujeitos Queer em cartaz: uma análise discursiva do corpo em (trans)formação

Abstract

In all societies, if the body is understood such as a language, it is to be able to produce sense. Investing in the French Discourse Analysis as a semantic theory specifically by the considerations from Michel Pêcheux (2008), for whom the discourse is the relationship between the language and the history we will say that the body is constructed by discursive practices performed by individuals in the creation of identities and the subjectivation process. Our objective is to analyze some imagetical enunciated that show the body of the transvestite, and how it, by discursive practices, transforms and conceive itself as Subject, creating an identity, reiterating it (or not) by the discursive memories established for gender and sex. As a corpus, we have some snippet of enunciated (verbals and non-verbals) compounds, mostly by posters of events to the public transgender where it can see the exhibition of the body. So we ask: why this body and not another, when the gender standard is normatively binary? For Queer Theory (BENTO, 2006), the transvestite destabilizes such standard, runs through cracks and invents its way of life: Transvestity. Thus, it is in the excavation of speeches - where we weaving around the Transvestite memories - which we are led, as readers, to recognize the signs that show us the transvestite, establishing an indiciary paradigm (GINZBURG, 2009) and noting, by intericonicity (COURTINE, 2006), as the repetition of iconic utterances in the transvestite's body causes that abnormal individual (FOUCAULT, 2008) is recognized and interpreted as having this way of being and this identity.
