PIEDRAHITA ECHANDIA, Claudia Luz. Political subjectivity in sexual difference feminism: desire and power. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2009, vol.7, n.2, suppl.1, pp.1713-1729. ISSN 1692-715X.

This article states, from the perspective of Sexual Difference feminism, a discussion about political subjectivity, basically understood as the women’s power and desire experience, constructed from the de-identification and deterritorialization of gender-assigned places, as well as expressed by means of a cultural revolution that exceeds the established phallocentric frameworks. Accordingly, it deals with the creation of new images and ways to be a woman, far from the discussion of “genderized” relations that are inserted and positioned in culture. Through this potentializing perspective, it looks for figurations and conceptions that catch the creating dimension incarnated in women’s history, expressing new relationships with the world and, at the same time, it looks for other ways to approach power and politics. This article also puts into consideration theoretical tools that allow to make the experiences of power inserted in metamorphosis visible, in strange ways of being a woman and in vitalistic trajectories that exteriorize political subjectivities on the basis of desire and affection.

Keywords : feminism; sexual difference; power; political subjectivity and metamorphosis.
