This Darstellung of the oneiric elaborates a sex/gender difference where patriarchal subordination (Segato) is rejected, a practice of decolonization and liberation that brings us closer to a postcolonial ethic (Mignolo). This position becomes even more complex when the story exposes the vision of the man, who tries to elucidate the woman, and observes a monstrous spectacle, a stump on the protagonist's back, an atrophied being, an image created by an intolerable representation (Rancière) that questions the myths held about the image of women. Alexandra Novoa Romero Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 21 39 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77818 From reading "El deseo invisible" by Gonzalo Asalazar (2017), I aim to develop the concept of Sentimental Cartography as defined by Suely Rolnik (1989). This cartography evolves and is constructed while certain worlds disintegrate and others form to express contemporary affections, rendering existing universes obsolete. Asalazar proposes the map of downtown Santiago as a layout that, unlike others in the city and country, has remained more or less intact since the colonial era. It is upon this layout that another cartography emerges, which challenges the official one and is driven by desire. Adding contributions from Foucault, Deleuze, Barrales, Fernández, and others, I intend to develop the concept of the diagram as a weapon in the power struggle; and on the other hand, delve into a potential map of violence that cuts across recorded events, culminating from the civic-political-military dictatorship (1973-1989), and that can be applied to other territories victimized by violence from power structures, attempting to dismantle a narrative that imposes forgetfulness and painless amnesia, through the denial of the catastrophic nature of the event and the suppression of the most atrocious memories (Santos 2019). Cristian Núñez Cristino Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77877 This article reflects on the formation of gender identities in an institutionalized teaching space. He discovers that the performative discourse that subjects of early ages generate reproduce and naturalize both ideologies and conventional gender representations. I argue that the common of men in consequential ages occurs in a continuum of the reproduction of this cultural hegemonic image. However, women differ from this task, they insist on a principle of differentiation in that they construct an identity discourse outside of traditional symbolic manifestations. I argue that there are consciousnesses, masculinities and femininities, which transition to the establishment of a new gender order from the practical and discursive appropriation of the most common events in life. Marcos Santana Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 57 87 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77880 Being immersed in a visual culture requires to tension the audiovisual representations of our experiences as trans* people, in order to understand how these images are essential components in the construction of our bodies within the collective imagination. Since these experiences are based on the embodied practices of dwelling outside the cis-hetero-norm, their representations must take into account the tacit registers of what entails to incarnate queerness. With this aim, we will delve into the politics of trans* representation present in the documentary Travesía Travesti (Nicolás Videla, 2021). In this multi-voiced story, transvestite experiences are introduced through a personal –of the director– and a collective –of a community of women– perspective, while being intertwined with the specific context in which this film was produced: in the midst of the Chilean “social revolts” of 2019. Here, there is a crossover between the autobiography of these women and the theory that critically analyzes the sociopolitical structures in which our queer bodies are inserted; thus, we can contemplate this motion picture as an autotheoretical exploration of the current trans*/ transvestite experiences and memories in Chile. Through an embodied gaze, Videla's work provides a sentient dimension to our bodies as signs within the collective imagery that socially, culturally and politically shape our lives.

We will approach Linett´s work analyzing specifically the place of the anal aspect of the images it presents. Using Paul Preciado´s and Guy Hoquenghem´s theories on this subject, we will explore the anal aesthetics of the bodies in Linett´s performances, specifically reading the relationships that arise between the anal and the critique to institutions such as state, police and religion. Daniela Capona Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 109 123 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77893 Judge Karen Atala framed her child custody case against the Chilean Supreme Court within Indigenous Mapuche “shamanic justice,” the “spirit of the law,” and human rights. We analyze what Atala’s case contributes to the literature on sexual diversity, sorcery, and the spirit of the law in both Chilean and Mapuche histories of justice. The case engages the spirit of the law in two senses. First, it reveals the lack of separation between religious and secular law, demonstrating that religion is profoundly embedded in the law, both for the state and for the Mapuche. Second, it refers to the intention behind the law and its interpretation and enforcement, which haunts even the most literalist, secular visions of law. After her spiritual transformation, Atala practiced the spirit of Mapuche customary law in the courts but formally justified her judgments using the letter of the Chilean law, demonstrating a fluidity between law and spirituality. Ana Mariella Bacigalupo Fabien Le Bonniec Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 125 174 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77894 La participación política de mujeres lesbianas en Chile durante la dictadura militar (1973-1990) y la transición a la democracia (1990-2000) ha sido históricamente invisibilizada, tanto en las narrativas oficiales como dentro de los propios movimientos de izquierda. Estas mujeres enfrentaron una doble opresión: la represión del Estado por su militancia y la marginación en sus propios espacios políticos, donde la heterosexualidad y los roles tradicionales de género dominaban la agenda. Mientras la militancia política de las mujeres dentro de los movimientos sociales ha sido reconocida en algunos estudios, el rol de las mujeres lesbianas ha sido relegado a una categoría subalterna, quedando sus experiencias fuera de las narrativas predominantes de la historia política chilena. Este artículo busca abordar esta omisión mediante el análisis de las memorias de mujeres lesbianas que participaron en movimientos y partidos de izquierda, introduciendo el concepto de "memoria velada" como una herramienta teórica para comprender sus trayectorias políticas Catalina Herrera Natalia Cortés Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 175 216 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77896 When thinking about gender expression, we tend to link it to gender identity. To think that just because someone identifies as male or female that person is going to dress in a certain way is just another form of a binarism, that demands filling gender stereotypes from decades ago. This piece tries to rethink this concepts, reflecting on the need to understand gender expression and gender identity from a critic perspective, and one that questions, first, the binary logics that goes through them, and also the fact that there is a dressing and looking demand towards people that don’t fit the male-female binary.

Despite this, trans people exist and resist, this article explores the process of trans people in the recognition of their identity through narrative productions, investigating the experience of choosing a new name and the experience of social re-identification. A process of narrative production was done in a group of three trans persons between 28 and 35 years old, living in the Valparaíso region of Chile during the year 2021. Through this methodology, it was described to be trans as: a complex identity difficult to comprehend from institutional frameworks; an individual and collective experience as it requires company and referents to develop, as well as it was visualized that trans identity contains the movement as an essential part of its constitution. The following article highlights the transcendence of writing in first person and narrative practices as actions of resistance to the dominant cis-gender scientific knowledge, offering an insight into the trans experience and embodied knowledge. Fede Amaranto Fuenzalida Muñoz J.L.Lucas Gamonal Nuñez Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77898 This essay connects the concept of the pose with performativity and hegemonic beauty standards through Sylvia Molloy’s “La política de la pose” (2017) and Judith Butler’s concept of performativity in Bodies that matter (1993). The pose, as a cultural and political phenomenon, is very relevant still today. From its description as a political act in Molloy’s text to its connection with dandyism, the pose shows how discourse adheres to people’s bodies and how, over time, becomes a part of them. Discourse materialized in bodies leads us to analyze the relationship between the pose, performativity, and the concept of celebrity, focusing on hegemonically celebrated bodies and the ideals this narrative reproduces. This analysis highlights how body representation can affect public perceptions and personal identities, revealing a deeper implication of the body as discourse and the nature of modern identities. Carolina Osorio Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 261 272 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77815 This article explores the experience of a mother accompanying her trans daughter, offering a critical perspective on patriarchal and binary gender norms. Through a journey of continuous learning and personal deconstruction, the author draws inspiration from theories such as Preciado’s Countersexual Manifesto (2002) and Butler’s concept of gender performativity. The text reflects on the challenges faced by families in rural and conservative contexts, addressing the systemic barriers within education and healthcare that reinforce exclusionary structures. Advocating for inclusive policies and community awareness, this testimony serves as a call to action for building a more equitable and inclusive world where everyone can live and love freely, without fear of judgment based on their gender identity.

This will be addressed through Carlos' masculinity and sexuality. This will be adressed trough the masculinity based on the contrast between Carlos has with Loca del Frente. And finally, to reflect on his homosexuality we will see how the figure of the new man and his participation in the guerrilla is conflicted by his militancy as an space of oppression for his identity.

Art has the capacity and potential to reveal discourses that help the artist and the viewer to express discourses in the search for understanding and the fight for equal rights for the LGBTIQ+ community and overcome homo / bi / trans hatred in the society. Through the review of archives of visual works, where art has recorded dissident memory in Chile in its constant context of transformation, we seek to analyze photography as a memorial: beginning with the historical criminalization of homosexuality and its subsequent emancipation before the heteronormative system. In that sense, this article aims to emphasize the importance of registration and artistic action to enhance sexual diversity through art as a field of expression and identity self-determination in society Matias San Martín Jacob Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 295 319 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77901 This article seeks to present an analysis of the role of women in contractual theories and how this influences the occurrence of gender violence. It will be deliberated how the rise of capitalism has subjugated women and institutionalized gender violence. It will also be examined how misogyny threatens women today and how there is still a strong sense of standardization of gender violence, that must be counteracted through a reformulation of nowadays social relations.

The same occurs with some of his previously published stories, such as “Killing the husband is the watchword”, “The precious life we ​​dream of”, “Powerful knight” and “The crime of Ester”. All of these narratives address crime, wrongdoing, and the society that operates as part and cause of explicit or covert violence.

Rather, the latter would be impossible to understand without their presence, our bond and their domestication, the fascination they have provoked over the centuries. From their appearance in cave paintings up to 32 thousand years ago - those figures of time almost impossible to understand -, through their importance in foundational texts such as The Iliad, reaching a present in which they have been replaced as the most reliable and fastest method of transportation, a place they had for centuries, along with being important forces in war and agriculture.

Essays on neoliberal restoration in Chile and Reactionary Progressivism. A volume that brings together texts by Claudio Aguayo Bórquez, Sergio Villalobos-Ruminot, Diego Pérez Pezoa, Rudy Iván Pradenas, Débora Fernández Cárcamo and Carolina Herrera. The authors take a position that seeks to reveal theories that allow us to analyze the features of the system, its traps, the cumulative fixation that works relatively covertly such as a toxic agent that permeates power in the political field.

I have no idea how the concept will develop in the future, but I know that if I were young, my animosity would be directed against those who have ruined everything for me.” The book Feminine Masculinity, published in 1998 by Jack Halberstam, marked the beginning of a summer of intensive reading about his work. A message of admiration through a social network unexpectedly led to an interview with the author. Below, we share a fragment of our conversation, which took place one afternoon in June 2024, during his visit to Chile. Fede Fuenzalida Soledad Falabella Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77918 The objective of this research is to examine the crime of sodomy through its representation in criminal proceedings and the judicial framework that unveils the testimonies of social actors. The selected primary sources (criminal trials) reveal the sexual and emotional tensions that emerged within male sociability. None of the analyzed criminal cases involved acts of sodomy as rape; rather, they reflected relationships rooted in friendship, compadrazgos (ritual kinships akin to godparenthood), and commercial ties that men cultivated in their daily lives, which later became the subject of legal proceedings. The crime of sodomy in Chile during the selected period was formally prosecuted under the national criminal code established in 1874.

This project consists of a series of photographic-like images featuring working class homosexual couples, queer and non-binary people from the early 20th century in Latin America. The images were created using generative artificial intelligence (AI) models that process databases, so neither the photographic images nor the people depicted in them actually existed Felpe Rivas Copyright (c) 2025 Nomadías 2025-03-05 2025-03-05 33 393 395 https://revistadeantropologia.uchile.cl/index.php/NO/article/view/77980 Since 2015, I have been artistically investigating methodological, discursive and aesthetic possibilities to articulate sexual dissidence on the stage territory. I am a queer-cuir performing artist from the global south of the world who, although he had professional theater training at the University of Chile, it has been the deviant artistic experiences with my company Teatro SUR and the activisms in sexual dissidence that have enabled me to obtain most of the situated knowledge that passes through me and I am interested in continuing to develop and expand.

Psicoanálisis, (en) lo menor, implemented by Débora Oníria and Carolina Pezoa, Chilean poet and psychoanalyst who passed away last fall 2023. The interview addresses different aspects of the "clinic of the minor", a movement inside psychoanalysis that emerges in France. In the light of the above, the relationship between psychoanalysis and queer theory, the implications of philosophical thought around the question of desire, the queerization of art history, the unconscious, psychic suffering, the affirmation of difference and the conformation of a safe space as ethical principles of analytical consultation framed in the vindication of sexual and (non) reproductive rights, its political, social, clinical and intersubjective aporias are thematized.
