Resumo: This essays does a reading of Pedro Almodovar’s film All About My Mother, focusing on the transvestite character, Agrado. After drawing a comparison with other films on the subject of transgendering, I discuss notions of embodiedness and the construction of the subject by placing them in the context of theories about the body in Brazilian ethnology. My purpose is to offer some elements for a reflection on the experiences at/of the margins as a way of renewing the theoretical debates in feminist and gender studies. The bodily experience of ‘becoming the other’ dramatizes the mechanisms that are in play in the construction of difference and can be seen as an anti-hierarchical force destabilizing dominant politics of subjectivity.

Depois de uma comparação com outros filmes que abordam o fenômeno transgênero, é feita uma discussão em torno da noção de corporalidade e da construção do sujeito, dialogando sobretudo com as teorias do corpo da etnologia ameríndia brasileira. O ensaio busca propor alguns elementos para uma reflexão sobre a importância da análise de experiências de margem na renovação teórica no campo dos estudos feministas e de gênero. A experiência corporificada de ‘tornar-se outro’ dramatiza os mecanismos de construção da diferença e se apresenta como um empreendimento antihier árquico desestabilizador de políticas dominantes da subjetividade.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2002-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200200010000810.1590/S0104-026X2002000100008Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 10 No. 1 (2002); 143Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 10 Núm. 1 (2002); 143Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 10 n. 1 (2002); 1431806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2002000100008/8769Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaluf, Sônia Weidner2019-09-30T08:58:22Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/9553Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:34.056323Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
