La construcción del cuerpo y la sexualidad en los discursos y prácticas de los operadores de justicia

Abstract

The purpose of the investigation is to identify the categories through which various justice operators classify, visualize and value the bodies of trans people who participate in a judicial process; investigate how they stand before justice and how they react to the treatment they receive. I also intend to decipher the routes, routines and rituals of the judicial procedures in which trans people are immersed and analyze what are the consequences that these processes produce in them. The investigation is carried out in the Provincial Court of Justice of Azuay and in the Social Rehabilitation Center "Turi", in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador. From the selection of files –from the year 2008, when the National Assembly of Ecuador approved the Constitution that is in force, until the year 2019–, I develop a work oriented to the understanding of social action, seen as part of a cultural, dynamic context, in constitution and recomposition. This involves looking at the various actions carried out by judges, secretaries, lawyers, prosecutors, public defenders, citizens involved in the dispute, witnesses, police officers, administrative staff, general public, etc. in a selective, contextualized and positioned manner. in the courtrooms, in the pavilions and call centers of the jail and on the street, considered as scenarios where meaningful expressions are generated, shared and circulated.
