A Saga Amorosa em narrativas de vida transclasses
Abstract
The article aims to analyze how the notion of Love Saga is identified in A Princesa: a história do travesti brasileiro na Europa escrita por um dos líderes da Brigada Vermelha (1995). To achieve this goal, an interpretative work methodology is adopted in which there is a constant dialogue between the corpus and the concepts of theoretical references coming from Semiolinguistics, as the main discipline, and other fields of knowledge, such as Gender Studies and Queer Studies, through of a focused interdisciplinarity. Based on the epistemological production of transfeminist authors, it was found that transphobia, performativity within the framework of a binary normativity, the feeling of jealousy, suicidal ideations and dilemmas financial resources not only affect the Love Saga of Fernanda, a Brazilian transsexual sex worker, but they also insist on negatively impacting the love lives of several sex and gender dissident people today. In this way, the life narrative of the person-who-is-narrated, despite being singular, opens up to the impossibility of isolating their memories at an individual level, demonstrating that the experiences are potentially collective.
