SUMMARY:

The series Pose, distributed by Fox in Brazil and set in New York in the 1980s, portrays the lives of various LGBTQIAPN+ people, with a central focus on black transgender women, showing the various difficulties that this group suffers, whether due to economic or social factors, directly affecting the construction of their identities. As such, the audiovisual production seeks to spark debate about the inequalities these women experience in New York City, bringing not only a historical debate about the experiences of transgender people during that period, but also the rights won by these women. Among the various transgender women in the series is Elektra Evangelista, who experiences various forms of oppression throughout the episodes, including, for example, being the target of transphobic speech. Understanding the need to raise discussions on the theme in the field of Applied Linguistics, this research aims to analyze the hate speech and resistance present in the series and how this speech, directed at Elektra Evangelista, affects her identity within the social spaces in which she is inserted in the audiovisual production. Theoretically and methodologically, the research mainly uses Bakhtin's Dialogic Discourse Analysis to analyze hate speech and resistance. In addition, Butler's (2021) queer studies and Quinalha's (2022) discussions about the LGBTQIAPN+ population will be of great value. The research corpus consists of the three seasons of the series Pose, which together total 26 episodes, from which discourses about the character Elektra Evangelista will be extracted. Preliminary results point to the need for reflection on the importance of combating gender inequalities against the LGBTQIAPN+ population, specifically Elektra Evangelista, who is the central subject of the research.
