Description
Summary:Performativity is one of the key elements in what we today call queer liturgies, in the sense of acts of inclusive subversion performed in sacred spaces where people have been excluded because of their sexual orientation, skin colour or economic status. It is relevant to highlight resentment in the sense of regaining feeling as an attitude that is counterideological, anti-system, anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-elitist. It has become necessary to carry out a political and religious incorporation of eroticism into the liturgy in order to liberate it, since this space has been co-opted by the dominant discourse of power or terror at the diversity of races, sexualities, bodies, cultures and epistemologies that seem 'alien' to a world inhabiting a heteronormative system in the framework of Christian theology.
