Raça, gênero e processos de subjetivação nas redes sociais

RACE, GENDER AND SUBJECTIVATION PROCESSES IN SOCIAL NETWORKS: From abjection to the affirmation of marginalized existences in visibility and surveillance devices

Abstract

The perspective of intersectional studies has produced important tensions in the human, social and health sciences when considering the crossing of structures of oppression as contemporary social problems. Such structures of oppression cross the processes of subjectivation, producing ways of being and places subject to transit and occupation in society. Gender and race function thus, in colonial-capitalistic society (Rolnik), as social markers linked to stories of violence, exclusion and abjection. In this scenario, this paper discusses the subjectivation processes forged in visibility and surveillance devices based on statements of (r)existence of transgender black people. We realize that the notions of masculinity, through notions of gender that displace the recognition of gender from the body and denaturalize sexuality aimed at reproduction, undergo mutations when we consider the discourses present in the expression of masculinity in bodies. The tensions stated in social networks, as well as the places claimed by black and trans people in these visibility devices, suggest the opening of possibilities for the recognition of these people as influencers, reference people, expert knowledge and true voices capable of producing relocations of bodies by the subversion of the place of abjection and occupation of spaces in networks that end up reverberating also in social practices that take place outside the networks, such as the growing occupation of political representation, and, mainly, in the processes of subjectivation constituted in the intersectionalities of gender, race and others.
