THE IDEA OF THE HUMAN has always depended on the construction of the myth of the monstrous. In this way, the myth of the minotaur, whom Theseus killed in the center of the labyrinth, accounts for a problematic monstrosity that is built on the marginalization of one other experience. Sexual and gender dissent have embodied this confrontation, in which bodies who go through a trans life experience configure the threat of a system of inequality that is reproduced in that binary logic. Because of this, certain bodies have been condemned to ostracism, imprisonment and even death, just like that "monster" of ancient myth. But who has seen the monster? Who can recognize their victims? And above all, who announces his monstrosity? Nostalgic Transits traces the trajectory of that myth in Colombia, in which the human and the monstrous only have certain possibilities. Thus, he enunciates sin as the discursive appearance that, in our colonial period, the experiences of transvestite took on; it explains the meanings of illness and criminality with which 19th century science gave new meaning to experience; and, finally, it reveals the way in which, at the same time, the religious, legal and scientific dispositives confront the rewriting of a wounded myth, whose suture is in the collective affirmation and on the way back to the body that belongs to us. they took cross-dressing experiences; it explains the meanings of illness and criminality with which 19th century science gave new meaning to experience; and, finally, it reveals the way in which, at the same time, the religious, legal and scientific dispositives confront the rewriting of a wounded myth, whose suture is in the collective affirmation and on the way back to the body that belongs to us. they took cross-dressing experiences; it explains the meanings of illness and criminality with which 19th century science gave new meaning to experience; and, finally, it reveals the way in which, at the same time, the religious, legal and scientific dispositives confront the rewriting of a wounded myth, whose suture is in the collective affirmation and on the way back to the body that belongs to us.
