Abstract:
The objective of this work is from the report of experiences of trans men who
reside in the space called the high sertão of Paraíba, having as a field of
socialization the city of Cajazeiras - PB problematize how these lines
about the male, thought from a binary gender relationship, from some
way leads these subjects to attitudes and behaviors that legitimize them as
men. For the development of the research we used oral history as
methodological source, dialoguing it with the intellectual debate that weaves the discussions in
around indenitary and masculinity constructions. We use the readings from the
Brazilian sociologist Berenice Bento, especially her works "What is the
transsexuality'', Judith Butler and Raewyn Connell to think the mechanisms
discursive and categorizers about sex, gender and identity and consequently,
about all subjects who escape the rules and norms. Such a cutout also in the
makes it possible to think about the power relations and disputes that intertwine the construction of
masculinities, whether cis or trans, in the upper sertão of Cajazeirense. At
readings of Durval Muniz de Albuquerque Júnior's work on construction
of the "Cabra Macho" that refer to the cultural and social constructions of the ideal would
of man, inhabitant of space geographically and historically conceived by
northeast were also important. In this way, proposing reflections on these
subjects who resinify their identities, understanding subjectivity,
sensitivity and strength of these bodies in the face of the "hegemonic" cis-normative discourse.
