Abstract
This work analyze the representations of trans / transvestites women in the documentary series Tacos altos en el barro (2012) directed by Rolando Pardo. It tells the stories of Wanda, Killy, Paloma, Daiana, Paola and Zaira. Six trans / transvestite women living in indigenous communities of the province of Salta located in the north of Argentina. The interest will be placed on the strategies that the audiovisual story uses to support the dynamic process of intersectional constructions of the gender inscribed in the regulations of class, sex and race, understanding the margin as the symbolic space to which relegates to the dissidence of the heteronormative system but also in its less metaphorical dimension, related to the geographical dimensions where poverty rests. In this sense, the ways in which the documentary is inserted into the network of hegemonic constructs of the representation of normative agents within the binary system based on sex and on the degree of sexualization of the body, where trans/ transvestites bodies become unclassifiable and against which, the heterosexual matrix operates in its readjustment.
