Personajes diverses. Perfiles y formas de abordaje narrativo transfeminista

Abstract

We could paraphrase Steiner’s statement that what is not named does not exist, and thus propose that whichever does not identify us audio visually does not exist. If the construction of female subjectivity is built based on a patriarchal culture, where and how do trans-subjectivities enter? The audiovisual media is a way to build and diffuse subjectivities. Thus, we wonder, how can we develop a cinema that deconstructs, that opens up, allowing us to include the diversity of points of view to describe us trans-subjectivities in other ways? This article outlines a trans-feministic approach about the ways of representing it in the audiovisual world, and take us in a thoughtful journey on the representation of diverse identities from personal experiences as a documentary filmmaker. It deals particularly with the process of film-making “With Name Like a Flower” (“Con Nombre de Flor”) and also addresses the “Cartelera (Trans) feminista”, space that arises to implement other forms of distribution and exhibition for a dissident cinema.
