Este trabajo es una reflexión sobre los nuevos debates críticos sobre el lugar del cuerpo como el espacio donde se cruzan ideologías políticas, poderes sociales y definiciones sobre la identidad en la posmodernidad latinoamericana. Las ‘políticas de identidad’ se ven aquí como una forma discursiva más eficaz para entender las transformaciones de las culturas contemporáneas. Los discursos de raza, género y sexualidad son muy útiles para explicar los problemas que plantea el ‘sujeto posmoderno latinoamericano’.Aquí, se analizan y deconstruyen estas narrativas culturales homogeneizantes, su creación de un imaginario nacional y su representación del sujeto de la escritura. Con ese propósito este trabajo quiere trazar un mapa que describa desde la etnografía y la sociología cubana y brasileña, las visiones culturales que construyeron la nación como organismo. En esta lectura, el cuerpo del otro, en especial las poblaciones negras, se convierte en una parte integral del discurso nacional. Esta integración plantea problemas de la representación racial, sexual y de género de ese cuerpo forzando al sujeto a llevar varias máscaras lo cual implica un cierto transvestismo cultural, al identificarse con el otro, unirse con el otro y perderse en él.~This work is a reflection on the new critical debates on the place of the body as the space where political ideologies, social powers and definitions of identity intersect in Latin American postmodernity. Hence, 'Identity politics' become a more effective discursive way to understand the transformations of contemporary cultures. The discourses of race, gender and sexuality are very useful to explain the problems posed by the 'Latin American postmodern subject'.Here, these homogenising cultural narratives, their creation of a national imaginary, and their representation of the subject are analysed and deconstructed. With this purpose, this work wants to draw a map that describes, from a Cuban and Brazilian ethnography and sociology, the cultural visions that built the nation as an organism. In this book, the body of the other, especially black populations, becomes an integral part of the national discourse. This integration raises problems in the racial, sexual and gender representation of that body, forcing the subject to wear various masks, which implies a certain cultural transvestism, by identifying with the other, uniting with the other and getting lost in it.
