• Abstract:

   This article aims at a rupture with

  the colonizing discourse and its mechanisms of

  repression in Latin America, whose devices have

  conditioned us to remain as periphery of the

  “first world”, that is, with a western eurocentric

  cartography to the political constitution of our

  bodies as subalternized . This envelope needs

  to be problematized, and this is the proposal of

  several insurgencies in Latin American political

  art. Through an intersectional approach, based

  on feminist theories, and also on the contributions

  of the Kuir/cuir movement, from the decolonial

  studies and from the epistemologies of the

  South, it seeks to break with a representation 

  of subalternity, proposing the idea of insurgent bodies. For decolonization is part of the

  rupture against the forces of domination and insubordination to the psychic processes

  that are articulated to keep us as colonized subjects, supplanting the idea that we would

  be inferior. Because, proposing affirmative sexual politics implies the decolonization

  of Latin American thinking about forged identities, generating dissonant practices of

  the imposed hegemonic and genealogical. In this sense, this article confines itself to

  exposing parts of this cartography, since there is no way to contemplate the multiple

  expressions and subjectivities of a territoriality so diverse as the question of colonial

  desterritorialization.
