Ditos sobre e ditos por: o rasgo afetivo das mulheres trans nos discursos mídiaticos

Abstract

The present research investigates the connections and disconnections between the discourses presented by the media concerning transvestite and transsexual women, and the affective field manifested through poetry written by these women. The thesis aims to answer the following questions: how the subjectivation of these groups is produced by the media culture? What affections and ways of thinking circulate in these relations that goes beyond the media? For this, the research analyzed the discourse produced by the main media (Folha de S. Paulo), activist media (Rede Jornalistas Livres), alternative media (Radio Transmissão) and LGBT media (Lampião da Esquina). Added to that, encounters and conversations were done with trans poets in order to understand which affections activate their writing; in these encounters, love was pointed by all poets as the central affection for writing. Having love as a base, a new event was held, this time in a group, with the residents of the Casa de Acolhimento de mulheres travestis e transexuais de São Paulo. In this meeting, new affective elements emerged, tensing up the understand of love. The work was elaborated using the thinking of the philosophers Spinoza, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, proposing to think beyond the line of the genre, opening space for the understanding of the subjects that are composed mutually, with the world and with other subjects, increasing or decreasing their power to act. It was understood that the circulations of these affections are open to chance, to rifts, to ruptures, that is, beyond the domain of the universalization of the subjects
