Corpos em rede e o direito de aparecer: o Dia da Visibilidade Trans no YouTube

Abstract

We propose to discuss the ways in which trans visibility is constructed in audiovisual
productions on YouTube by taking the National Day of Trans Visibility as a performance. We
take the date as a starting point to reflect about the power of dissident bodies, seen as
bodies in alliance (bodies in a network), against the regime of trauma and violence to which
these persons are submitted by the gender policies of global capitalism. We analyzed a set
of publications in circulation on the platform alluding to the Day of Visibility based on a
theoretical and methodological approach that articulates performance and performativity in
order to understand constitutions of other scripts of actions and incorporations that point
to new possibilities of existence and to rights to appear.
