Résumé:
By making up tool-concepts that allow access to the plane of forces and by making an
active use of the (counter)methodological device of cartography, I carry out a brief
theoretical synthesis of decolonial and queer perspectives. Next, I situate the contemporary epistemic-political debate, in which I intend to insert myself, which is
dedicated to thinking about the potentialities of friction between both perspectives. By
mapping the sex-genital experiences of some indigenous peoples of Abya Yala, as well
as accounts by chroniclers who accompanied the Iberian conquerors and reported on
bodies-subjectivity and the relations between conquered peoples, I recover the concept of
coloniality of gender (Lugones, 2014b) to perform a micropolitical and molecular-vibrational critique of modern/colonial sex/gender. Adopting an ethical compass and
taking life as a sphere of differentiation throughout the whole dissertation-experiment, I
make some suggestions at the end of the work. I suggest that modern/colonial sex/gender
is a circuit of affects that, at the same time, circulates and supports a reactive and sterile
micropolitics of desire by reducing the subjective experience to the identity subject. By
agencying decoloniality, queer sudaka critique, anthropophagy and the philosophy of
difference, I propose that the hidden/dark side of sex/gender is that it operates by
redundancy, sedimentation and translation of intensive forces into identitary-figurative
forms, obstructing the vital becomings and separating life from what it can.
