NASCIMENTO, Francisco Elionardo de Melo. Groupings of transvestites and transsexuals incarcerated in Ceará, Brazil. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.1, e57687.  Epub 01-Jan-2020. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n157687.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the formation of groupings of transvestites and transsexuals imprisoned in Ceará, Brazil. Through the use of narratives produced from ethnographic data, I intend to show the different conditions of imprisonment for transgender people - in varied times, spaces and groupings - which are mobilized by discourses concerning the management policy of this population. Hence, I want to discuss state processes that identify, classify and group transvestites and transsexuals as “dangerous,” “less dangerous” or “vulnerable” as a form of management operated by discursive practices in the control and surveillance of this population when in custody.
