Abstract

My intention is to discuss some of the relations between transsexualities and sport. I start up from a report on the boxer Patrício Manuel and I therefore conduct the analysis of the queer normalization, in order to question the production of the bodies, in the context of sports performance. I understand sport as a technology of self-production and assume the body as a discursive-performative category, which has the potential to produce unprecedented modes of subjectivation that TRANSfigure today's sport. Patrício Manuel expand a comprehension of what a body is capable of and how, regardless being susceptible to identity capture and by using the technologies of self-production made possible by sport, this body can produce a new aesthetic of existence.

Keywords:
