WOMEN-RESISTANCE AS A COUNTERIMPERIAL PROJECT: A PROPOSAL FROM AN INTERCULTURAL SEMIOTICS

Abstract

Theoretical discourses on women generally stop at closed, homogeneous readings, where, despite categorical feminist positions, the male figure is the point of debate or the procedure in question to break stereotypes around the misnamed sex weak. Our proposal, in short, will try to resist binary readings, and will seek to promote an intercultural semiotics that will investigate the rhizomatic writings that, from the postulates of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (1976), confront the projects inherited from modernity and that, in postmodern lands (of late capitalism), they are recognized under the name of Empire. For this reason, we propose this woman-resistance as a counter-imperial resistance, as an escape route that, in Deleuze's own words (1977) allows: “(…) to stutter in his own language (…) To be like a foreigner in his own own language. Draw a line of flight ”.
