In this talk\, based on a visceral ethnography of Rocinha\, the largest favela in Rio de Janeir o (Brazil)\, Moisés Lino e Silva explores what happens when liberalism is challenged by people whose lives are impaired by normative understandings of liberty. Such marginalized visions of freedom are proposed as a “min oritarian liberalism\,” a concept that stands in for overlapping\, alter native modes of freedom. Lino e Silva will introduce a broad collective o f favela residents\, most intimately accompanying Natasha Kellem\, a chari smatic self-declared travesti (a term used in Latin America to indicate a specific form of female gender construction opposite to the sex assigned a t birth). While many of those Lino e Silva meets consider themselves “qu eer\,” others are treated as “abnormal” simply because they live in favelas. Through these interconnected experiences\, the speaker not only p ushes at the boundaries of anthropological inquiry\, but also offers ethno graphic evidence of non-normative routes to freedom for those seeking libe rties against the backdrop of capitalist exploitation\, transphobia\, raci sm\, and other patterns of domination.
