"LIVE OR DEAD, RESPECT MY NAME: TRANSPHOBIC LEGAL-JUDICIAL DISCOURSES IN CRIMINAL ACTIONS OF THE JURY COURT OF TAGUATINGA / DF".
Transaffectivity; Transphobia; Jury Court; Symbolic reparation.
This dissertation analyzes three criminal actions within the jurisdiction of the Jury Court of Taguatinga, administrative region of the Federal District, in which the Victim, a transaffective woman named ÁGHATA LIOS, was intentionally murdered by the accused parties. In the criminal actions explored, transphobic contents stand out not only in the final judicial speeches, in the sentences, but also in the path until the plenary session of the jury court took place: in the investigative phase, during the judicial instruction phase and during the act solemn judgment in plenary. It is identified, therefore, that the institutional judicial discourses were silent in their pedagogical-symbolic function, because, in addition to being transphobic, they did not advance towards the reparation of the Victim ÁGHATA LIOS in relation to her experiences as a transaffective woman. The reasoning undertaken in this research goes through the embodiment and attack on the lives of LGBTQIA+ people, the development of the ritual legally provided for the jury trial, as well as the demonstration of transphobics evidences that were taken from the criminal actions analyzed. The methodology used permeates the harmful effects of gender binarism (LEVY, 2004), the socio-cognitive interactional notion of discourse (KOCH, 2005), both linked to what Haraway (2009) calls "localized knowledge". At the end, as a sign of respect for the life and history of ÁGHATA LIOS, the last section is dedicated to the attempt to provide a form of reparation to HER, with the song 'Balada de Gisberta' (ABRUNHOSA, 2007), performed by Maria Bethânia, as a motto and inspiration.
