Estéticas da existência e sexualidade operária: discursos LGBTTTs no chão de fábrica em Campina Grande-PB (2009 -2016).

Abstract

This work aimed to discuss how the educational practices of sexuality and the aesthetics of existence were experienced through the narratives of LGBTTT workers who worked directly or indirectly on factory floor. To build this operation, we dialogue with Present Time History through the narratives of homaffetive and cisgender workers, as well as a transsexual worker. We problematize the educational practices of sexuality such as male dominance, homophobia and transphobia in order to offer expression to subjects that, because they represent a minority, are historically excluded from society and targets of biological discourse. The narratives were interpreted through Cultural History with the methodology of the discourse analysis by the prism of Michel Foucault (1985), author who collaborated with the concepts on the device of sexuality and aesthetics of existence. Judith Butler (2008) was present in the discussion about the concept of abject and Guacira Lopes Louro (2015) emerged drawing a fine line between gender and body. With these theoretical views we identify in the factory experiences the relations between male workers and their singularities. We observed the tactics to approach affectively or sexually harass the other that represented the difference of gender and sexuality in the scope of the work. In the daily life of the LGBTT's workers we perceive the tactics of defense to survive an environment impregnated by discriminatory practices.
