SUMMARY:

Transgender corporealities, when ceasing to be an object to become the subject of their own representation, take incarnated and pulsating writing as a political act and as a ritual, an enchantment through which they conjure up worlds from words. Thus, through this investigation, the aesthetic and political strategies mobilized by the contemporary Brazilian transgender narrative were traced by expanding its bodypolitics in the body of the writing to weave the transwriting and with it to dive into the fables that re-elaborate ways of apprehending the world and the body as a place of knowledge production. To unlock the secrets of this alchemy of words, we dive into the works E se eu fosse puta (2018) and Neca + 20 poemetos travessos (2021), by Amara Moira; Van Ella Citron (2017), by Bruna Sofia Morsch; Contos Transantropológicos (2017) and Contos Transantropofágicos (2021), by Atena Beauvoir and Vila Mathusa (2022), by Zênite Astra. As a support, we locate ourselves inside transfeminist knowledge, trans studies, low theory, queer phenomenology, philosophies of immanence and feminisms that allowed us to understand how, by transforming the word into word-action, by raising the voice, transgender bodies conjure up a literary work in which the aesthetic, the political and dissidence are intertwined, giving rise to a transvestite poetics that is born from this body and its experience of being in the world.
