Gerações travestis: corpo, subjetividade e geracionalidade entre travestis do interior de São Paulo
Resumo
This research seeks understanding how different transvestite's
generations that prostitutes themselves in the countryside of São Paulo built
their bodies and subjectivities. I seek to understand the existence of the
pressure between this identity project and the creation of two categories, the
older and younger, observing the detachment and existent approximation
between different generation of transvestites, just like specific valuations of
some bodies and behaviors from each one of them. The study realized in Sao
Carlos and Ribeirao Preto undertook ethnography at the prostitution areas and
the transvestites homes, combined with online contacts through social media
like Facebook©.
Based on Queer theory, the Brazilian studies about the travestite‟s and
the the idea of "generationality" and aging, I seek the creation of particular idea
of being young and aging as travestite for the ones that prostitute themselves.
Seeing that for this group aging is not only related with the age but with a
specific relationship with the body, the job market and the social relationships
that develops and keep the environment where they live.
