Abstract
My main question is in which ways public discourses that regulate trans bodies are transformed and mutually dependent. It argues that trans body construction practices that require medical knowledge and intervention are an object in dispute. Its regulation process does not exclusively concern to the medical field, but discourses produced in the four scenarios addressed in this dissertation.
The term "trans" is used in a sense that encompasses a wide range of identities and biotechnological possibilities that challenge binary gender rules. These can dialogue, confront or ignore medical categories and its protocols. Moreover, the desire of changing those corporeal aspects linked to sexuality may or not correspond subjectively with categories of “transvestism”, “transsexuality”, “transgenderism” or “trans”.
The conceptual tools used are those belonging to sexuality studies. Particularly those who address sexuality as a power field and attend to the link between corporeality and citizenship. This perspective allows me to understand how a heterogeneous set of individual and collective actions promoted mutations in the definitions of trans bodies as objects of intervention and production of knowledge, in the period addressed in this dissertation. In short, as objects of government.
