Reclamar la calle: el fenómeno del acoso verbal callejero a trabajadoras sexuales trans desde una perspectiva fonopragmática

Abstract

Within the framework of the accelerated growth of feminist movements and their consequent political struggles, it is essential to make contributions from the Sciences in order to characterize practices that are intended to be eradicated. That is why this presentation intends to give an account, from a phonopragmatic perspective, of some particularities of street verbal harassment in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche; especially, that suffered by trans women who exercise or exercised sex work in the public space. In order to contribute to the existing knowledge about this phenomenon, a comparison is established between the phonopragmatic values ​​of this type of harassment and those of street insults and other forms of (im)politeness between strangers who circulate in the street, with the maintenance of the public image among interlocutors as the axis. This is a first exploratory approach, based on the analysis of a series of interviews with sex workers in the city.
