The present work aims to carry out a reading of the experience of a transvestite body resistant to the norms of the colonial “CISteme” of gender in the short story: “The night will not allow you to dawn”, present in the work “Sou uma tola por te quer” (2022), by Argentine author, Camila Sosa Villada. The narrative portrays aspects of the life of a brown transvestite, whose means of survival is prostitution, in the city of Córdoba, Argentina, and brings aspects of her experience on a work night, where four rich young men appear and take her for a house in a gated community. In this space, various situations are presented, in which issues of gender, class and race can be perceived. From this, we intend to contribute to the relationship between the existence and resistance of the transvestite body and literary art, within a perspective that aims to recognize the experiences of femininity and womanhood. To do so, we based ourselves on the concept of Transfeminism, by Letícia Nascimento (2021) and the representation of the body by Berenice Bento (2017). Within these aspects, in Villada’s story, we can reflect on society’s lack of recognition in relation to transvestite women, who often have the status of humanity denied, as the plurality that encompasses women and femininities is not taken into account.

The text discusses the book "For Basic Housing", which addresses the intersection between the political economy of housing, governance, and participatory citizenship of urban social movements, and the participatory methodologies of communities in precarious housing. Chapter I analyzes recent housing policy in Portugal, highlighting the lack of investment in housing conditions for the most disadvantaged populations. Chapter II discusses associative democracy as a political theory that proposes the delegation of social activities to self-managed voluntary associations. Chapter III addresses the participatory methodologies used in precarious neighborhoods. Chapter IV analyzes the right to housing in the city of Porto, highlighting real estate speculation and the housing access crisis. Chapter V discusses the Urbanization Plan of Alta de Lisboa and its socio-urban interventions. Chapter VI addresses the housing crisis in Porto and the use of graffiti as a form of denunciation and mobilization of the population. The text discusses the importance of participatory methodologies in observing and interpreting counter-hegemonic messages that arise in urban public spaces. Examples of participatory urban rehabilitation projects are presented, such as the rehabilitation of the "ilha" of Bela Vista in Porto and the work of the Rés do Chão Association in neighborhoods in Lisbon. Gender issues and social inequalities in the housing field are also addressed, as well as the importance of using digital methods and hybrid forms of civic participation. The text concludes by highlighting the importance of the right to housing as a basic human right and the need to involve populations in the construction of a more just social well-being.

Brazilian geography highlights impacts, disputes and conflicts in Brazilian artisanal fisheries. This article aims to understand the conflicts by territory, understood as terrestrial and aquatic, therefore integrate both fishing areas, as well as housing and living communities of fishermen. We analyzed 71 dissertations and theses, defended by geographers between 1982 and 2015, based on the technique of content analysis. In relation to conflicts by territory, highlighted in this article, are mainly related to land issues, tourism, conservation units and real estate speculation. The spatialization of the works shows the differentiated concentration of these conflicts in the Brazilian regions. As a strategy of resistance to territorial conflicts, communities and social movements of fishermen constitute territories of fight, and demand public policies proper to traditional communities and peoples.
