Abstract(s)
O presente estudo visa contribuir para a compreensĆ£o da vivĆŖncia subjetiva (intra e interpsĆquica) do sujeito transexual e avaliar o impacto das alteraƧƵes corporais inerentes ao Processo de RedesignaĆ§Ć£o Sexual. Foram realizadas duas entrevistas, com o espaƧamento de um ano entre elas, seguindo o MĆ©todo de Narrativas de AssociaĆ§Ć£o Livre (Hollway & Jefferson, 2000), a um participante do gĆ©nero masculino em processo de redesignaĆ§Ć£o para o gĆ©nero feminino. A anĆ”lise das narrativas, orientada pelos postulados teĆ³ricos da metodologia proposta, revela que a transformaĆ§Ć£o corporal consiste numa soluĆ§Ć£o defensiva e radical face a um ataque e depreciaĆ§Ć£o da masculinidade do sujeito, levando-o a constituir uma identidade de superfĆcie feminina que recobre a identidade e permite a continuidade psĆquica. A transformaĆ§Ć£o corporal ganha sentido na fantasia de um ārenascerā, com o propĆ³sito de varrer da consciĆŖncia um passado doloroso e remeter as suas experiĆŖncias ao esquecimento. A nova āetapaā, retratada e marcada no corpo, inspirada na fuga e no desespero, constitui a derradeira tentativa de proteger um territĆ³rio psĆquico na iminĆŖncia de desaparecer. O corpo torna-se palco de transformaƧƵes sucessivas que parecem intensificar a estranheza da experiĆŖncia corporal e gerar uma maior e perigosa desorganizaĆ§Ć£o psĆquica.
ABSTRACT: The present study aims to contribute to the understanding of the subjective experience (intra and interpsychic) of the transsexual subject and to evaluate the impact of the corporal changes inherent in the Sexual Reassignment Process. Two interviews were carried out, with the spacing of one year between them, following the Free Association Narratives Method (Hollway & Jefferson, 2000), to a participant of the masculine gender in the process of redesignation to the feminine gender. The analysis of the narratives, guided by the theoretical postulates of the proposed methodology, reveals that the corporal transformation consists in a defensive and radical solution to an attack and depreciation of the masculinity of the subject, leading him to constitute a feminine surface identity that encases the identity and allows for psychic continuity. Corporal transformation makes sense in the fantasy of a "rebirth", with the purpose of wiping from consciousness a painful past and remitting its experiences to oblivion. The new "stage," portrayed and marked in the body, inspired by escape and despair, is the ultimate attempt to protect a psychic territory in the imminence of disappearing. The body becomes the stage of successive transformations that seem to intensify the strangeness of bodily experience and generate a greater and dangerous psychic disorganization.
