Contrary to what we find in most of the writings of historians, in this book bodies are present, as it presents the historical account of the regime of bodies, of the models of corporeality, of the techniques of body production, of the technologies of fabrication of bodies, which are present and changed between the 70s and 80s of the twentieth century, more specifically in Brazil and in the city of Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará.
The book focuses on the history of the production of transgressive bodies, transgressive bodies, and trans bodies. It deals with the public emergence of the transvestite subject, how this place of subject was historically produced and inhabited in Brazil.
Redefinition of the very concept of transvestite, which ceases to be something that is behaved, that is dressed, that is paraded with it, to become a condition, a place of subject, a being, a gender identity, which moves from male to female and which, more recently, is incorporated into identities designated as trans, of transition, of transversality, of crossing the binary boundaries socially and culturally defined for the sexes and genders.
