[TRANS] EXISTENCE: ERRATIC BODIES, POLITICAL GESTURES OF RESISTANCE

Abstract

In this article we bring the notion of wandering proposed in the field of art and architecture, to make an analogy of the transit in the urban space with the transit of gender. Considering that wandering embodies a conception of circulating through an urban space only guided by the experience of affectation in the present space-time, we discuss the possibility of passing between masculinities/femininities as a bodily course. We take the notion of abjection here to think of the dehumanized way this wandering is marked, thus losing its condition of alterity. We consider that there is a transformative potential of the corporal transit and in this sense the article proposes a discussion on some artistic works that have as their emblem the break with the binary norm. It concludes that errant bodies make their wanderings a creative break with the instituted. In addition to the gender anchored in blue or pink patterns, an infinite palette of colors opens to [trans] existences.
