Travecações e transvessias com os cotidianos escolares: narrativas autobiográficas de uma professora travesti

Abstract

The research, which uses the method of research in/of/with everyday life, is based on the experiences of a trans teacher and aims to present reflections on education from her perspective, which is often silenced due to various circumstances. The author proposes two concepts that help to achieve the objectives of the research: travecações and transvessias. The first brings the individual and at the same time collective dimension, which refers to the gender transition processes of trans* and travesti people. The second, complementing the first, presents ‘making-thoughts’ that arise from conversations with the ‘spaces-times’ that make up the path that the researcher travels from her home to school and with those that she travels with inside the school and in the classroom. The writing structure of the research is based on some of the movements necessary for research in/of/with everyday life, especially the so-called ‘narrating life and literaturizing science’ in an attempt to present a trans perspective on education, pedagogical practices and teaching and, consequently, to ‘go beyond the known’, ‘diving with all our senses’ into these travecações and transvessias that can contribute to the construction of a reality that learns to understand that the differences that make us who we are, are powers. Keywords: travecações, transvessias, travesti, everyday life, education.
