Storytelling Exercises for Writing Practice in Human Rights Education [2017-2019]
This is a research project for human rights education based on storytelling. The proposal intends to promote reflections on juridical, philosophical and subjective conceptions of human rights and social forms of difference and universality, as well as stimulating, through writing practice, inversions of perspective. Such inversions would work as a propitious mechanism to sensitization for an “enlarged mentality” (Arendt; Kant), more aware of otherness and capable to apprehend the individual and collective dilemmas of the contemporary world. The project includes the development of educational resources for school teachers. The group is working in a textbook entitled “Workshops of imagination in writing for education in Human Rights”.

Transgender voices and bodies in documents of police repression [2017-2020]
The project proposes an analyses of police archives on repression of transvestites in the 1970s in the city of São Paulo. It aims to read police documents as discourse strategies to frame bodies and to manufacture criminal individuals, in the framework of vagrancy. The corpus of the research contains 316 police statement terms, criminology texts, laws and manuals. A multidisciplinary reference (historical, legal and philosophical) underlies the reading of these archival materials in an articulated way. The focuses of analyses are the construction of the criminal argument, the instances of enunciation and other formal elements that indicate the criminalization of transvestites through mobilization of language apparatus to describe their bodies physically and morally.
