Original title: "Cuerpos en resistencia: experiencias trans en ciudad de México y Bogotá" (Bodies in resistance: trans experiences in Mexico City and Bogotá) by Manuel Roberto Escobar Cajamarca.
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.
