| Omschrijving: | This article analyzes the dialogue between subject and subjectivation of transsexual women at the tale book Daring. Polyphonic Stories of Trans Women (2019), by Costa Rican Camila Schumacher. As exercise of subject process, a triple mirror is imposed to these women, to remind them three assigned identities: 1) from the gender logic, they are men; 2) from the homosexual category, they are fags; 3) from the incoherent, they are it. However, as exercise of subjectivation process, the tale book´s transsexual women display artistic and creative power, when they look at also a triple mirror: 1) the of being a woman; 2) the of being without categories; 3) the of being an older transsexual. The individual and collective consequences of subject and subjectivation as construction procesess of trans female identities are established. Likewise, the reader is appealed as agent of political and social change, with regard to the transphobic habitus. |
