Abstract

This research project focuses on embodied and engendered liminal experiences of Latina adolescents through ontologies of becoming as a space to generatively and critically expand notions of resistance and activism. Specifically, this article seeks to reconceptualize Latinas’ identities and subjectivities outside current (and silenced) understandings of their border-crossing journeys and the subsequent trauma of living in the United States as undocumented immigrants. Finally, a Chicana/Latina Feminist Cultural Studies (FCS) framework creates “parallel genealogies of thought” that disrupts methodological Eurocentric perspectives and entangles postcolonial agentive thought.
