Vogue, between the Culture of Resistance and the Context of Dissent: An Approach to the Bogota Case
Main Article Content
Abstract
This semi-structured interview seeks to analyze the vogue scene as a political commitment among the trans, non-binary and queer population in Bogotá within the framework of the national strike of 2021. To that end, the interview stems from a national attempt to create a sociocultural and geopolitical space for a segment of the population with diverse genders and sexualities, thus configuring itself as an organizational territory in the cultural sphere. Therefore, the interview explores the relationship between the vogue scene and the political commitment attached to the sociohistorical struggles of that community, considering that vogue served as a tool for the trans population of New York during the 1980s to criticize socially and biologically assigned roles within the cisnormative, phallocratic and heteronormative system. This criticism continues to inform Colombian vogue, as well as the commitment to structural state reform in response to the systematic, direct, institutional, and symbolic violence that has left a historical mark on the trans, non-binary and queer population.
