Trans-Migrantes: frontera(s), viaje(s), cuerpo(s) y género(s).

This paper presents a first theoretical approach, trying to draw some lines and notes that may be relevant in order to think the transnational migration of trans1 people. Throughout this paper, therefore, we propose some possible linkages between notions 'such as 'frontier' and 'journey', that drawn through bodily geographies and gender linked to the question of citizenship, and allow us to think about the movement and identity (re)definition that trans-migrant individuals develop through these multiple dimensional migrations. What are we thinking when we question on transmigration and trans-migrant subjects?, Are the notions of travel and border useful and/or fit to reflect on this phenomenon of trans-migration? Is it possible to similarly think geographical migrations and gender ones, as travels and personal itineraries (ESTEBAN, 2004), involved in trading processes and transport of belongings and changing of identity positions, and which relationships can be found between national borders and physical boundaries of gender? Which role performs the body in the space of representation and practice of citizenship and its relationship to gender and ethnic-national and social class origins? It is around those issues that this work developed, with the intention to be a first approach to propositions that could be interesting in order to think about and outline new questions that could the complex relationship among corporeality, gender, immigration status and citizenship.
