This article proposes a theoretical-analytical look at studies on masculinities in Colombia. Based on a review of some of the more significant research in masculine identities in the different regional, sociocultural and racial constructs, this work presents possible future analyses and identifies some interpretative vacuums throughout the discussion. First, one of the hypotwheses of the work holds that to bring the category gender to a terrain of critical debate with social constructivism, it is imperative to address masculinities as fantasies, according to the line drawn by some English and American feminists. By discussing the empirical proposals from this perspective, the article suggests that the tautology the social explains the social naturalizes and abandons the controversial character of the conceptualizations and closes their epistemological possibilities. Such a central rupture permits an understanding of the complexities of the trans-masculinities and multiple masculine identities in intersectionality, in the view of the hetero-binary bias. Second, but on a parallel basis, the "coextensive" gender is conceived and recreated again and again by the colonial power matrix at the micro, meso and macro scale. Thus, using some of the decolonial feminist postulates, it is argued that the "sustained metaphoricities " from which men of Latin America and the Garibbean build their gender identities are crossed by a pigment-cratic matrix embodied in their bodies. As a number of studies demonstrate that the sexualization of the racial, the racialization of the sexual and the dyad "whiteness/blackness" play a determining effect in the framework that gives rise to the masculinities in the country, it is necessary to deepen the ideological and cultural historiography of the concept "masculinities", the ideological and cultural artifacts used to enunciate and to produce identities and the classifications according to skin colors between the" dark" subordinated pole and "the white" hegemony pole.
