Resumen
The colonial matrix of subjectivation, intelligibility and referentiality has operated through the cannibalization of transfeminine corporealities in the establishment
of pre-fixed life trajectories. In a temporal framework of hypervisibility, practices of
exploration of narratives of precariousness and value extraction have been executed. In
latitudes of the Global South, this transphilic loop that oscillates in dichotomous
relations of fascination and disgust, capitalizes on necropolitical regimes of agency
restriction, amplified by class fragility, anti-sex work respectability politics,
racialization and anthropometric taxonomization. The ubiquity of these narratives is
present in the circulation of images broadcasted in the media, memes, and the
peripheries of the Western art world in the form of extractivist practices.
Between the transactivist insurgencies of the 2010s, and through the configuration of
online platforms, artists such as Sofia Moreno have questioned the permanence of this
regime that contributes to the continuum of trans genocide in Abya Yala territories,
repeating the cycles of violence and exposure. Interregionally, fugitive ecosystems have
been constellated: online embodiment facilitates new autoethnographic explorations of
memory reinvention in futurity, against reification and the regulatory mechanisms
deployed in the patriarchal gender binary cistem, as it facilitates instances of encounter
and consolidation of pioneering solidarities, beyond geopolitical boundaries and the
antagonistic normativity of the IRL algorithm. In the artist's own words: "The trans
body has been used as a muse but not as a content creator. It is important for me to
consume myself because there is a culture invested in consuming me, and it does not
know how to do it.''
