Paulo between 1960 and 2017 By Daniela Picchiai & Diogo Azoubel Abstract- This mapping covers almost 6 thousand trans cover texts published in Folha de S. Paulo between 1960 and 2017 and is part of the understanding of the media as a fundamental agent in the sphere of representations, directly influencing the dynamics of contemporary societies. The reflection on the discourse and narratives conveyed in this periodical, in which transvestites and transsexuals gradually migrate from associations to arts and shows (23.19% of occurrences), becoming associated with marginality and criminality (36, 88% of the total), in the fait divers, reveals the discursive flow of the citations towards the ads of prostitution, a fact that invites us to go through this historical narrative to problematize how such contents are configured today. Keywords: content analysis; folha de S. Paulo; transvestites and transsexuals.
