Abstract

To inhabit the debris of the omniscient luminosity that guided the epistemology of Modernity, with its requirements of transparency and clarity, invites us to a political wandering that desists from the certainties of the radiance. Thinking with the excrement of light is an attempt to de-substantiate and miss the identity and community presuppositions of a hegemony of feminist and LGTTTBI sexual activism that recently adhered to the traditional formats of politics. It implies a negativity as a power of emptying and proliferation, which allows us to draw a line between what we want and what we do not want to live, linked to memory, language and affectivity. It is about instigating an unnamed or unpronounceable possibility, inventing a language to enter and leave our own fragility and our wounded imaginaries, with the secret patience that every insurgency will be the work of words.
