| Sumario: | As an outline of autotheory, this work is concerned with forming an archive of micropolitical and personal anecdotes based on the transit of an asexual body through the biopolitical protocols designed for the survival of a breast cancer, but also for the preservation of its gestating capacity. It narrates, therefore, the objections that censure and question the decision of this body to dispense with its uterus, an organ perceived as threatening and inconsequential, although for the biopower it is relegated as an object of moral and political interference. Then, against the heterolinear and prefigured ways of futurity, this body finds in the void a space of agency and resignification of bonding and affective possibilities for life outside of cisheteronormative coherences, scripts and mandates. |
