Subjetivaction, Intersectionality, Exclusion, NormalizationAbstract
The objective of this paper is to examine the ways that social construction of normality establishes a mechanism of inclusion/exclusion within the framework of the Modern/Colonial/Capitalist World-System. To do so, it shows the connections between the subjectivation/subjection process, the reproduction of a healthy social body and the exclusion of "non-productive subjects", where the discourse has material and concrete effects of exclusion of anything that represents a threat to the correct operation of the System.
In the face of which, we propose a pedagogy of resistance, based on an intersectional perspective, and on an ethic of Latin-American freedom, as a combined strategy to face the process of alterity denial, and to dismantle the dominance relationships. The aim of this paper is to facilitate displacements and processes where the dignity of resistance prevails.
