Caroline, Mana, Verônica, Selena e Morgana: uma análise sobre o transfeminicídio e as vidas que (não) importam em Santa Maria – RS

Abstract

Santa Maria-RS (Brazil) as a result of a state necropolitics. Transfeminicide is understood as a complex and multidetermined phenomenon. In this sense, in addition to the concept of Berenice Bento, other concepts are used to understand how bodies and experiences that do not conform to a heterosexual matrix (from the understanding of Judith Butler) are subjected to a necrobiopolitics that eliminates those bodies that "don't matter". Transvestite and transgender bodies are historically and systematically excluded from public policies and society. There is an erasure of their religiosity, their ethnicities / races, their stories, etc. In this sense, it is concluded that trans people are stigmatized, segregated, silenced, violated and suffer with biopolitical traits that produce “naked lives” (according to Agamben), “precarious” (Butler) and “abject” (Bento) whose value is erased with the lack of effective public policies in the most diverse areas (security, health, education).
