Are you "in Gods hands" in court and on the high seas? No: In the hands of the judges! Called "judicial independence". And this is infinite. It can even lead to miscarriages of justice. Subsequent apologies? Not a chance! In other words: the judiciary operates in a legal vacuum. Countless examples document this. The German constitutional state functions in part as it did over 100 years ago. Thats how old the abuses are. And the organization of the courts. That is why we should not rely on the much-vaunted principle of the rule of law. The examples cited above show how judicial errors can destroy peoples lives and how helpless we are as victims. Nevertheless: what you can do if you (actually) cant do anything: Read for yourself!

Esta obra objetivou investigar como as narrativas de artistas travestis que participaram do filme-documentário Divinas Divas (2016) refletem memórias de travestilidades sobre o contexto histórico da ditadura civil-militar no Brasil (1964-1985), buscando, tambem, entrever como essas questes podem contribuir para a problematizaço dos regimes de visibilidade, em especial, das travestis na historiografia brasileira. As reflexes do presente livro compreenderam, a partir da narrativa filmica: o projeto moral da ditadura e as violencias empreendidas pelas forças policiais, numa relaço muitas vezes consentida com faces da sociedade civil; o desvelamento das politicas censorias delineadas pela ditadura civil-militar, almejando pontuar seus modos de atuaço e a politica de invisibilizaço por meio da censura; a articulaço problematizada entre arte e travestilidade, evidenciando a potencialidade do teatro em interface com tais experiencias; as tecnologias de genero e os modelos de corpos e feminilidades colocados pelas personagens na pelicula e, por fim, a relaço entre dissidencias sexuais e loucura, tensionando os dispositivos de interdiço postos a partir disso e as sequelas deixadas na vida das personagens que passaram por tal violencia. O documentario, enquanto fonte de analise historica, desvelou com acuidade o vies normativo do fazer historiografico sobre o tema, lançando luz sobre os silencios perpetuados pela historia. Ante essa evidencia, torna-se proficuo pontuar o quanto o cinema, diferente da historia, se preocupou com a tematica, ao trazer representaçes pontuais que versaram, de alguma maneira, sobre sexualidades tidas como dissidentes e o cenario de autoritarismo matizado pela ditadura civil-militar. A narrativa filmica permitiu, por meio de sua linguagem, reinterpretaçes politicas sobre o passado, deslocando os olhares para as fissuras que separam essas narrativas "apocrifas" da historia oficial, apresentando questes tipificadas e no menos importantes, que anunciaram as micropoliticas que tomavam os corpos tidos como subversivos a partir dos marcos normativos de genero e sexualidade, como alvos do poder.
