Femimutancia's Banzai: A Contribution to the Archive of Trauma or how Shame and Disorientation can enable Agency

In recent years we are witnessing a resurgence of public cultures around sexual trauma that is not necessarily centered on medical diagnoses or innocent victims (Cvetkovich, 2018) rather, on the traces of trauma in everyday experience and the various ways in which they are dealt with.

This critical study explores the graphic novel by the non-binary transfeminist cartoonist Femimutancia –pseudonym of Julia Inés Mamone or Jules– Banzai (2021). The purpose of such analysis is to find in this autofictional comic an affective and creative response to trauma depositary of an agency that does not disavow but is founded on pain and shame, affects that have historically given vitality to queer cultures (Cvetkovich, 2018). An argument will be made for the inherent fragility of this agency built on ruins. Furthermore, the article makes a point by exhibiting the practices surrounding the production and reception of this queer comic in its efforts to make public and generate a collective audience for trauma thus dissolving the boundary between intimate life, privatized affective response (Cvetkovich, 2018) and political life, bringing visceral political affects to the surface. En los últimos años asistimos a un rebrote de las culturas públicas en torno al trauma sexual que no está necesariamente centrado en diagnósticos médicos ni en víctimas inocentes (Cvetkovich, 2018) sino, más bien, en las huellas del trauma en la experiencia cotidiana y las diversas maneras en que se lidia con ellas. En este trabajo nos enfocaremos en la novela gráfica de lx dibujantx no binarix transfeminista Femimutancia –seudónimo de Julia Inés Mamone o Jules– Banzai (2021). Nos interesa abordar esta obra con referencias autobiográficas para hallar allí una respuesta afectiva y creativa al trauma depositaria de una agencia que no reniega del dolor y de la vergüenza, sino que se funda en ellos, afectos que le han dado históricamente vitalidad a las culturas queer (Cvetkovich, 2018). Daremos cuenta de la inherente fragilidad de esta agencia construida sobre ruinas. Asimismo, buscamos exponer las prácticas que rodean la producción y la recepción de esta historieta queer en sus esfuerzos por hacer público y generar una audiencia colectiva para el trauma disolviendo de esta manera la frontera entre la vida íntima, la respuesta afectiva privatizada (Cvetkovich, 2018) y la vida política, haciendo aflorar afectos visceralmente políticos. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/13874 10.34096/cf.n80.13874 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/13874/13007 Derechos de autor 2023 Cuadernos de filosofía Cuadernos de filosofía; Núm. 80 (2023) 2362-485X 0590-1901 trauma, agency, shame, queer cultures trauma, agencia, vergüenza, culturas queer Femimutancia's Banzai: A Contribution to the Archive of Trauma or how Shame and Disorientation can enable Agency Banzai de Femimutancia: Una contribución al archivo del trauma o de cómo la vergüenza y la desorientación pueden resultar agenciantes info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cufilo&d=13874_oai
