Abstract

Bodies are still announced, enunciated, analyzed, studied and (con)formed in several instances, mainly in school areas. The main goal of this text is to reflect on the body as enunciated in order to later understand a possible practice within the educational universe: the desenunciation. The term education in this research is not restricted to formal and/or informal teaching institutions, but all the relationships articulated in society that represent teaching processes. The intention is to denote how much the bodies, even more of transvestite people, are linked to notions of power, which are revealed from speeches, laws, interdicts, constructions, regulations etc. The methodological proposal was structured according to analyses of bibliographic material, such as theses, books and articles; based on the Foucaultian reference and theorizations that dialogue with it. The schools, or even non-school areas, still need to reinvent themselves, rework, modify, and point out tacit, egalitarian and empowering body expressions. Thus, the central question of this work is to understand how the joints crossed by the State, under the category of desenunciation, deprive the subjects of their specificities so that there is only an erased nucleus, such as a data or a number. The research concludes that the structures used by the educational systems, here thought of according to systems anchored in the desenunciation, deprive, for example, the transvestites of their existences, in a bellicose and articulated way in order to maintain control over the norm.
