| Summary: | Through the inspiration of trans women who feed homeless people in one of the most impoverished parts of central Mexico City, it is possible to discover the extravagant presence of God through the most wounded bodies of society. This act of solidarity evokes a strange "Transignification" of the Eucharistic presence and the chiasmus of divinity in humanity and humanity in divinity. We review the hermeneutic meaning of "Transignification" in Edward Schillebeeckx in order to briefly intervene in a debate between the cuir (queer) Argentine theologian Marcella Althaus-Reid1 and the British theologian and "orthodox radical" John Millbank, surrounding the "twisted" sacramentality of the divine presence in wounded and written off bodies. |
