Quem são as pessoas politicamente invisíveis? uma análise do campo político e das candidaturas trans nas eleições municipais brasileiras de 2020

Abstract

The present study is based on the exploration of the Brazilian political field and on the analysis of the candidacies of trans people in the 2020 municipal electoral process, understanding how this phenomenon occurs and observing constant data from the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) base. Based on approaches to the consolidation of trans activism, descriptive representation, the constitution of the subject and power, as well as the analysis of the occupation of the electoral arena through the concept of political capital, the above dissertation intends to give greater visibility to the researches that they deal with gender and politics, more precisely with regard to the demands of transgender people. In line with the entire systemic structure of the national policy of exclusion and marginalization of trans people, the objective of this research is to understand why there is a lack of representation of trans people in the Brazilian Legislative and why the rate of trans people elected is extremely small, while the intention is to explore the literature on the subject and bring important discussions to greater evidence of these guidelines of sexual rientation and gender identity. In the light of this discussion, therefore, and in general lines, it can be noted that the work made it possible to manifest and display a discussion about the importance of candidacies of trans people in the sphere of national politics, thus providing opportunities for public policy proposals, discussions and deliberations in favor of this historically marginalized social segment. This phenomenon is explained, finally, on account of the violence suffered by LGBTQIAPN+ people (especially trans people) and the lack of accumulation of political capital as a consequence of all this apparatus designed to exclude dissident experiences from cisheteronormative norms.
