Performatividade de gênero na produção do espaço: lugar cotidiano de corpos LGBT

Abstract

The geographical space, consequently the everyday place, in constant production in a dialectial triad, organizes itself in modern western societies attending and perpetuating a binary pattern of gender and sexuality performativity, that determine how bodies must act, what they must feel and who they should be, considering only two intelligible ways of performing gender - man and woman -, always heterosexual. In Brazil, bodies that transgress this binary pattern of performativity, are oppressed and violated for the most varied ways and in the most distinct spaces from the place of everyday experiences, situations of risk and socio-spatial exclusion are being imposed on this population. In this sense, we seek in this research to understand how the patterns of gender performativity of binarism influence the production of space and the experiences of transgressive bodies in their everyday places in Chapecó (SC). Aiming at this objective, the theoretical-methodological course of the research comprises: 1) Survey and study of bibliographic references, to base ourselves on Geography scholars such as Massey (2008) and Lefebvre (2006) and studies of gender, sexuality and discourse such as Butler (2020) and Foucault (1999); 2) Survey and study of statistical data on violence against LGBTQIA+ people between 2000 and 2020 in Brazil; 3) Semi-structured interviews with 12 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people residing in Chapecó; 4) data collection with the interviewees through the production of relief maps based on the guidelines of Rodó-de-Zárate (2014) and 5) Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA) of the 12 interviews based on the guidelines of Moraes and Galiazzi (2011). The study makes it possible to identify that transgressive bodies are exposed to various forms of violence and oppression, intersectionally, in almost all the places they occupy and produce in their daily life in Chapecó, and that these experiences influence the way these bodies perform gender and express sexuality, and act in the definition of which places these people occupy, and how they occupy, or yet, they avoid or are unable to occupy.
