Corpo de luta: emergência pública de transmasculinidades e organização política de homens trans na cena brasileira em princípios dos anos 2000

Abstract

This dissertation approaches the public emergence of transmasculinities in the Brazilian context of the early 2000s, in order to situate it as a social process which development is related to nacional and internacional historical, economic, political and cultural condition factors, objectified in this work. The study seeks to identify some of the social actors who have been involved in this process, especially activists and leaders who have come to compose what now can be called the transgender men movement, whose political organicity derives both from the history of LGBT movements and contributions from different perspectives of feminism. Considering a series of events registered in the period from 2008 to 2016, it was possible to show how the public’s assumption of trans men is, in the Brazilian case, involved with the social possibilities provided by the context of recent democratic experience.
