SUMMARY:

In a new model of social interactions that have been enhanced by the use of cyberspace and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), it is possible to recognize oneself and others, create networks and support and interaction groups based on mutual characteristics. In this way, the advent of social networks in cyberspace can be considered a place of individual or group recognition, dialoguing directly with the recognition process mentioned by Fraser (2001). In this scenario, we have social networks as instruments of integration between realities and their representations in the digital environment, where cultural and political aspects are articulated. From the process of recognition and non-recognition, proposed by Fraser (2001) and the process of subalternization of socially minority groups, exposed by Spivak (1985), we seek to understand and problematize the mediation process of political information as a care practice for survival of trans* and transvestites. Thus, the general objective of this research is to analyze the mediation of political information carried out by the National Association of Transvestites and Transsexuals through social networks. As for the methodology, it is a Case Study with a qualitative and explanatory nature as to the purposes. Using Bardin's Content Analysis methodology (1977), it was possible to identify the categories i) affective alliances, ii) liberating actions, iii) of the individual and iv) of the institution, all inserted in the thematic class of mediation of political information. In this way, we understand, in this context, that political information works to enhance critical awareness, consequently maintaining the reality and survival of the trans* and transvestite population, as a care practice.
