Orelhões emoldurados: A expulsão escolar de mulheres trans e travestis na cidade do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The school was one of the institutions elected by society for the transmission of the knowledge and behaviors necessary for social maintenance. Formal education, on the other hand, behaves as a producer of realities when it becomes one of the main responsible for the transmission of knowledge considered to be valid. It is in this sense that the school becomes a trainer of people, and these, a trainer of spaces and landscapes. The objective of this research, therefore, is to understand how the processes of school hours are influencing school expulsion of trans and transvestite women, who, in strategies, articulate themselves in prostitution networks. In a geographic cut, the phone booths present in the city of Rio de Janeiro will be analyzed, understood as a materialization of the processes of exclusion experienced by these women. In order to meet these objectives, Bruner's narrative proposals were used, which made it possible to understand the experiences through semi-structured questionnaires, and the Snowball, as a methodology, which enabled contact with the research's target audience. Bringing a bibliographic survey, trans and transvestite developments throughout Brazilian history are also part of the research. Thus, in order to highlight the processes experienced by these women, this research proposes a dialogue between the role of the school and that of society, in order to understand the mechanisms that materialize social exclusions in Rio's public telephones.
