This article will discuss the cultural and political implications that violence has regarding corporalities and sexual dissidence to show how the body is transformed into resistance when it becomes memory, taking up authors such as Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Paul Preciado, Bruno Latour, Anna L. Tsing and Rita Segato.The question that guides this reflection is how can everyday, artistic, academic and militant prac-tices resist governmental invisibility, social normalization and a time where images provoke indifference and oblivion? In the first part we propose to rethink the notion of body instituted from a heteropatriarchal, racial and phobic canon; In a second part, we will describe the notions of agency, memory and body and in a third section we will analyze the work Póker de damas by the Mexican artist Teresa Margolles based on the experience of the Trans Memory Archive (Argentina) where the living conditions of Latin American trans women are problematized. In our final reflections we establish the implications, problems or possibilities that transforming the idea of memory would have in order to decode the transgressions, violence and conditioning based on what we state as transmemory.
