Divergent Entities and Minds: A Transit to the Non-place

Abstract

The article is based on the research "Representations and symbolisms in non-binary populations" in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. The objective of this text is to delve into concepts around gender, identifying a scenario where oral and written language, image, and perception emerge. It seeks to elucidate those communicative intentions from the graphic in the public space that give meaning to diversity from the political, but also reveal symbolisms that aesthetically break into the street to rethink discourses of respect and tolerance. Methodologically, different types of approaches are proposed concerning actions, bodies, and spaces, through three academic fields and interdisciplinary analysis. The ethical-political analysis focuses on gender as the basis of discussion. The aesthetic analysis identifies the public space as a creative meeting place for those who create and those who observe, but also, the territory of agitation and rebellion. Finally, the poetic analysis is based on the significance of artistic creations in the city. In addition, preliminary results are mentioned where the approach to developing own analysis tools is included. As part of the results, a living space for the construction of new narratives is identified, as well as equality scenarios, where performance, symbology, artistic expressions, and orality -from the inclusive language debate-, show a territory of multiplicity and mobilization that will transcend the private spheres to the public space with new forms of representation in that search to understand and recognize ourselves.
