One is Bot Born a Monstress, Neither Becomes One: On Social Inexistence and The End of The World
Monstress; Social Inexistence; Monsterification; Humanization; Apocalypse.
This work is the partial product of a dense path of social, conceptual, and political experimentation in which my body, my history, and my way of perceiving myself in the world are set in motion, along with the circuits of artistic, poetic and intelectual production I engage with. It consists of a series of meditations that have as first leitmotif a conceptual character named The monstress who crosses it here, and unfolds the theoretical elaboration of the notions of Social Inexistence – perceived here as a particular form of existence that disassociates the axis of Normatively consolidated sociality – monsterification/humanization – two ontopolitical processes aligned in the production of the human, the subject, the world and its others – and the end of the world – understood here as a passage towards other constitutions, understandings and world experiences than as an end in itself. Black Radical Thinking, the work of Frantz Fanon, the Trans and Queer studies, as well as the artistic and textual productions of sexual dissident and gender disobedient Latin American people are part of the referential mobilized by this writing – which is organized in 7 chapters, 4 of them (0, -1, -2, -3) being negative chapters that crosses the structure of the dissertation, incorporating contradictions, self-denial and a kind of writing less concerned with standards of consistency, clarity and cohesion.
