Por trás do nome: o direito à retificação do registro civil de pessoas trans e travestis nos territórios de Favela da cidade do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This work was developed through an interactive dynamic between the researcher and six research subjects: Wanessa, Aurora Enibê, Agatha Christie, Ruany Jenner, Yuri, and Lör de Paula; to whom I attribute the epistemic protagonism. Divided not by chapters, but by theatrical acts, with the exhibition of scenes extracted from the field diary of the aspiring cartographer researcher, I sought to invite readers to activate their vibratile body to access the dimension of the sensible and the affections, invisible to the naked eye, but present in the potentialities of these encounters. In view of this, the present dissertation aims to problematize the way in which the right to rectification of the civil registration of trans and travesti people, recognized by the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) in 2018, reflects for trans and travesti people in the territories of the Favela in the city of Rio de Janeiro. In Brazil, there has been a great jurisprudential and legal evolution, through much struggle and collective political articulation of trans and LGBTQIA+ activism, translating into an important achievement for Human Rights and the gender identity of people living outside heterocisnormativity. Methodologically, the research was developed through an empirical study with cartographic inspiration, as an inverted method and epistemic clue, which enabled a process of approaching the field, allowing a shared production with the research subjects. The chosen theoretical framework was primarily based on the studies developed by Butler, Carneiro, Freire, and Mills, to evoke the importance of critical gender perspectives, as well as the imbrications of race, class, gender, and sexuality markers. It is justified by the urgent need to decentralize the agendas of the Human Rights, focusing on the LGBTQIA+ community, considering the transformative and emancipatory potential represented by the political action of the G Connection Group (Grupo Conexão G) from the Maré Favela Complex, based on the concrete experience of these six subjects.
