Abstract

This review of the book Sexual Metaphysics. Cannibalism and devouring of Paul B. Preciado en América Latina (2021, Egales, 346 pages) approaches an interpretative reading within the framework of the discussions around the translatability and subversive power of queer in Latin America. In this genealogical inscription, I venture to propose the hypothesis according to which the book stands on a game of opacities, unintelligibility, inexistence and untranslatability situated as modalities of an onto-epistemic resistance.
