The body is mainly a scenario of power, which becomes a multiplicity of tensions and resistances subscribed to specific contexts. In particular, this work deals with the bodies of people who move through gender, and the political dimension of these experiences in Latin America, in two of its main cities: Mexico City and Bogotá.
The importance of these subjectivities that strive for what a body can be in our contexts, has to do with the fact that the body goes beyond individual and social expression and constitutes a node of identity, with which the construction of the body allows us to specify our own sameness, difference, as well as perceive it in the other.
Therefore, in the case of the trans body, the subject disputes its place of life in society, which configures new bodily experiences that make work on aesthetics itself a form of politics.
When the prefix trans is used, it refers to people who are named as transgender or transsexual from scientific bodies, as well as others that do not fit within such categorizations, referring more generally to subjectivities that question gender and sex itself, and that opt for new identities through reworkings of one's own body and of the aesthetics of femininity-masculinity foreseen.
