This article offers a perspective on gender representations linked to masculinity and marginality in the novel Pão de Açúcar (2018), which depicts the fictionalization of a hate crime that occurred in Portugal-2006. In that year, Gisberta Salce Júnior, Brazilian transgender woman, was murdered by a group of teenage offenders in the ruins of a supermarket chain. The objective is to understand the representations of the ex-centric subjects in the novel and the colonial narrator’s view of the character Gisberta, through the theoretical framework of Stuart Hall (2016), Pierre Bourdieu (2002), Foucault (2013), Berenice Bento (2015), among others.
