HEGEMONIES OF POWER VS AFFECTIVE RELATIONAL ANARCHIES: 4+ SELF CASE STUDIES.

Abstract

This dissertation examines the exercises of power that reside inside locations that are constructed in the bias of counter-hegemonies and subversion. Throughout the rememoration of past embodied experiences I have revisited how power appears at the base of three different settings: the lesbian couple, activist spaces and processes of social inclusion. From the personal situatedness I have argued how other forms of relationality have to be explored in order to understand not only identity but the place of the body in ways that can work in the friction of accounting the materiality of their locations at the same time as explore their vertigo of potentialities.
