THE "WRITE-LIVING" OF THE BODY IN THE COMPOSITION OF DECOLONIAL GENDER DISSIDENCE EXPERIENCES

Abstract

This essay aimed to discuss the resignifications of gender dissidences and identities from a decolonial perspective. Through Conceição Evaristo's concept of "write-living" and from a decolonial perspective on gender and dissidence, we tried to dialogue on the effects of the experience written in/of LGBTQIA+ bodies on their plural lifestyles. We have problematized a corporeal and self-writing that circumvents the processes of universalization of diversity experiences in topographic frameworks of identities. We weave a script-contest-denunciation necessary for the field of gender studies for the recognition and remodeling of dissident gender existences, we summon in between lines an inventive legitimization of the ways of relating to oneself and to the other, writing in one's own body our experiences of meaning and world reading.
