| Summary: | The article offers a perspective on gender representations linked to masculinity, power and marginality in the novel Pão de Açúcar, which deals with the fictionalization of a hate crime that occurred in Portugal in 2006. In that year, Gisberta Salce Júnior, a transgender brazilian woman was murdered by a group of teenage offenders in the ruins of a large supermarket chain. The objective here is to understand the representations of the ex-centric subjects that are in the novel, mainly the narrator’s view of the transgender character Gisberta, through the theoretical framework of Stuart Hall (2016), Pierre Bourdieu (2002), Michel Foucault (2013), Berenice Bento (2015), among others. KEYWORDS: representation; ex-centric; masculinities; transgender; Afonso Reis Cabral. |
