| description | Based on a set of empirical data drawn from an ethnographic practice, this article studies the corporeal experiences of Diego, a forty-seven-year-old homosexual man from a village in the Mexican State of Michoacán. After an introduction to this Purépecha cultural community undergoing multiple processes of modernisation, the analysis is set out in two parts, the body in representation and the body in action, followed by an observation of how this corporeality is linked to gender logic. More specifically, Diego shifts between different positions and roles that reproduce and oppose the village’s heteronomative system. These gender games enable Diego to better assert his identity and his status as a subject. |
