Abyssing Discursive Formations: Entanglements of Maya Ch'ol Being versus Being Someone in Life

Abstract

Subjective experience is the problematic node that is posed in the first person as an effort to expose and expose oneself as a part of the historicized reality of the subject, that is, as a recounting of how modernity permeates us. Politicizing subjectivity is a daring attempt to shake off and strip oneself from a place of enunciation: from the Mayan Ch'ol being and being someone in life. Two positions that have constituted identity complementing each other, the first as an approximation to a current ontology and the second as a capitalist morality. The recounting of the damages is an effort to look differently. I am what they have made of me. The privatization of the body, soul, emotions and dreams are imperatives of the ontology of the present. The politicization of subjectivity raises possibilities of being different and distant from the current technologies of subjectivation. A crisis of existence is raised from remembering the past to understand the present and catapult the future. The three verbal tenses come into play, which ultimately enrich the discursive formations of the subject to make it a self-exploration of subjectivity. A necessary reflection is presented for the current times that one is for having and accumulating.
