Abstract
Este artículo analiza la fenomenología de la corporalidad en Frantz Fanon, demostrando su centralidad para entender la construcción del cuerpo racializado, la subjetividad colonial, el racismo como forma de dominación, y
las posibilidades emancipatorias. A través de conceptos como el esquema epidérmico y el esquema histórico-racial, Fanon sitúa en el contexto histórico del colonialismo y politiza la fenomenología de Merleau-Ponty. De esta manera muestra cómo el racismo reduce al sujeto negro a su cuerpo y cómo limita sus posibilidades de acción. La fenomenología de la corporalidad no se ocupa únicamente de la apariencia, sino que se ocupa de cómo las historias y
las practicas del colonialismo moldean los cuerpos al crear las condiciones para limitar el aparecer de ciertos cuerpos y facilitar el de otros. En el marco del racismo, el aparecer, el traspasar los límites impuestos se convierte en
violencia. La violencia emerge en el propio acto afirmativo; descolonizar es, en sí mismo, un fenómeno violento porque desafía el orden colonial. El artículo se estructura en tres ejes: 1) la producción social del cuerpo del negro, 2) el
enfoque sociogénico como herramienta para estudiar su constitución histórica, y 3) la paradoja del cuerpo locus de alienación racista y desalienación.
This article analyzes Frantz Fanon’s phenomenology of embodiment. It shows its centrality in order to understand the construction of the body of the racialized subject, colonial subjectivity, racism as a form of domination, and the emancipatory possibilities. Through concepts such as the epidermal schema and the historic-racial schema, Fanon historicizes and politicizes Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology.Fanon shows how racism reduces black subjects to their bodies and how it limits their possibilities of action. The phenomenology of embodiment does not only deal with the epidermal, but focuses on how histories and practices of colonialism shape the bodies by creating the conditions to limit the appearance of certain bodies and facilitating the appearance of others. In racist societies, appearing, trespassing these imposed limits becomes violence. Violence emerges in the very affirmative act: decolonizing itself is a violent phenomenon since it challenges the colonial order. The article isstructured as follows: 1) the social production of the black body, 2) the sociogenic approach as a tool to study its historical formation, 3) the paradox of the body as locus of racist alienation and disalienation.
