Abstract
Performance autoethnography is a critical, creative, political and multiple line in which the writer’s body interacts with other bodies and tissue for the production of anticolonial knowledge. The aim of this article is to critically analyze the types of mesh that are produced by different situations, actions and sensations experienced in the body from interactions with other bodies and readings. We reflect on elements of silencing, blurring and colonization present throughout life and in our daily lives. We discuss the constitution of excluding structures of knowledge with the criticism of Cartesian philosophy and denunciation of the omission of knowledge from colonized bodies. We conclude that revisiting our seams, multiplying possibilities and spreading these multiplicities contributes to the identifications and reflections about us and about the different theories, visions and interpretations explained as knowledge.
