DOES THE SPATIALITY OF THE DISSIDENT YOUTH MATTER FOR GEOGRAPHY?

Abstract

Racial and gender markers create points of tension and unfavorably orient bodies in space. These markers are manifested in the social violence cartographies and kill hundreds of young dissident human beings each year. This study aims to understand how a social group crossed by femininity experiences geographic space, and also to analyze how the presence of these bodies implies spatial production. Through the qualitative, intersectional, queer and feminist method, configured by a bibliographic review, fieldwork in a university environment, with the methodological procedures of “free diaries” and writing. It highlights the consequences of not studying corporeality through geography, which silences young people whose cardinal points and whose futures of possibilities and choices are denied, generating limiting spaces of violence and pain.
