SANTOS, Júlio César de Oliveira. WE HACKED THE UNIVERSITY: disputes and claims about the (non)place of trans and travestis people in the university. Revista Teias [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.73, pp.324-337.  Epub 24-Ago-2023. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2023.66276.

This paper aims to problematize notions of hacking and belonging, and the disputes about the territorialization of the university through the narratives of four trans/travestis women students at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). For this purpose, between October 2019 and September 2021, individual, semi-structured and in-depth interviews were carried out with four trans women / travestis students at UFPE, about their paths to entering and staying at the university. In the narratives presented here, accessing the university involves a feeling that the academic space is not made for trans and travestis people, but that in this access there are opportunities to reframe their own life stories and compete for university. The interlocutors in this study highlight, for this reason, how their academic trajectories are flagships and vehicles of fundamental struggles for this population, displacing the meanings of politics and the university itself. The term hack, which comes from the english word hack, means to invade a computer system or network, or to use the techniques that constitute a system against itself causing modifications in favor of someone. In this way, hacking the university is disputing it from the inside, accessing its spaces and devices and deconstructing the logic of subalternization and politicalepistemic exclusion of trans and travestis people.

Palabras clave : university; trans people and travestis; curriculum.
