making psychologies with transfemininities

Abstract

This article aims to carry out a bibliographical review about authors who research gender issues – such as Jaqueline Gomes de Jesus, Sofia Faveiro, Viviane Vergueiro, Letícia Nascimento and Jota Mombaça - that can compose a dialogue with the artist’s songs and speeches Linn da Quebrada from a perspective based on the Actor-Net Theory (ANT). Through these seams and fissures, being able to observe the body as an actor that mediates interpersonal relationships, especially bodies considered dissident, analyzing the historical and social elements that add to transfeminine wisdom and aesthetics, seeking to expand notions of womanhood and transfeminities. Therefore, we understand what the authors, Linn and I have something to add regarding the possibilities of constructing new narratives beyond those rooted in social structures of oppression. Among the possibilities, developing psychologies practices that are committed to breaking with hegemonic practices and willing to expand knowledge that lies beyond the borders of the university. The provocations that inhabit the dialogue between the theoretical foundation, music and experience allow a connection between psychology and art that promotes encounters and relational care practices that are essential to the field of health and to the body of a transfem psychologist. Expanding the possibilities not only of making psychologies, but also of building new images of those who can live and stay in academic spaces and those who care, means making mental health services accessible to vulnerable populations.
