CUTULI, María Soledad. 'Maricas' and 'Travestis': Rethinking Shared Experiences. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2013, n.24, pp.183-204. ISSN 1657-6357.

The aim of this paper is to contrast the genealogy of the category travesti with a broader process of 'queer history', embodied by subjects not confined a priori within a fixed identity. Based on the analysis of ethnographic situations and biographies, it is stated that queers' and travestis' collective ways of being and making have been constructed, settled and subverted through different generations. These shared experiences implied the consolidation of knowledges, meanings and social practices, as well as their synthesis with new elements, regarding continuities in the main socializing spaces: performances and prisons.
