Abstract

This essay brings forth the idea of racial imaginary by developing a theoretical knot that is integrated by works and concepts by Michel Foucault,  Cornelius Castoriadis, Frantz Fanon, and Homi K. Bhabha. One of the aims of walking through these works is to develop critical and theoretical resources that may be able to analyze racialization as a dynamic process and as a web of complex articulations in diverse disciplinary contexts. A second aim is to comprehend and add visibility to racial formations in Latin America by underlining symbolic and imaginary aspects, understanding that the naturalization of asymmetries in social life founded on racialization are sustained through relational apparatuses that involve symbolic, discursive, institutional, subjective aspects.
