Abstract
El objetivo general de la investigación fue analizar la experiencia corporal e
identitaria de un grupo de 6 personas transmasculinas en Lima, ahondando en las
tensiones existentes entre la materialidad del cuerpo y la construcción de la identidad
de género, en el marco de los procesos de transición. El cuerpo transmasculino, es el
lugar desde el que lxs participantes narran sus experiencias corporales en torno a la
masculinidad y feminidad. Por ello, el enfoque metodológico fue cualitativo, con
entrevistas semi estructuradas y mapas corporales. Las entrevistas buscaron conocer a
profundidad las ideas, emociones y experiencias en torno al cuerpo. Y, por otro lado, los
mapas corporales buscaron ahondar en la subjetividad de las vivencias corporales a
través de una técnica que permite textualizar 'lenguajes semióticos-materiales
encarnados' (Silva, Barrientos y Espinoza-Tapia, 2013), usualmente invisibilizados con
otras herramientas de investigación. Para el análisis de la información, se crearon
categorías a partir de los objetivos específicos de la investigación. Estas son, ‘Discursos
de normalización’, ‘Concepciones de género’ y “Tránsitos corporales”. Las experiencias
corporales de lxs participantes si bien tienen puntos en común al compartir un contexto
sociocultural determinado (cultura patriarcal, cisheteronormativa, colonizada, etc.),
también han sido diversas a partir de la particularidad de sus vivencias, creencias y
entornos.
The aim of the study is to analyze the body and identity experience of 6 transmasculines subjects in Lima, delving into the tensions between body’s materiality and the construction of gender identity, within the framework of the transition processes. The transmasculine body is the place from which participants narrate their bodily experiences around masculinity and femininity. Therefore, for this purpose the methodological approach is qualitative, with semi structured interviews and body maps. The interviews sought to know the complex ideas, emotions and experiences around the body an identity. On the other hand, body maps pursued to delve into the subjectivity of bodily experiences through a technique that allows textualizing 'embodied semioticmaterial languages' (Silva, Barrientos and Espinoza-Tapia, 2013), usually rendered invisible with other research tools. For the information analysis, categories were created from the specific objectives of the study: 'Normalization discourses', 'Gender conceptions' and 'Bodily transits'. The participants' corporal experiences, although have in common a specific sociocultural context (patriarchal culture, cisheteronormative, colonized, etc.), and also have particular, diverse experiences, beliefs and environments.
