Resumen

En este texto, a medio camino de lo teórico y de las lecturas del pelo por parte de una etnografía popular (cine, movimientos sociales, poesía, literatura y anuncios comerciales) recorremos tres estaciones: el pelo como historia contracultural de las mujeres negras, donde existe una contraposición obvia entre normas, instituciones y formas de mostrarse; como una lingüística, donde observamos el cabello como una hermenéutica, donde todo es pura metáfora y mímesis; y, por último, como una performatividad donde se establece una lucha que involucra la verdad, los espacios y aquello no sólo que se puede decir, sino también mostrar y tocar, a través de nuevos lenguajes e identidades del poder a través del pelo. Pero el texto, tiene otra capa, menos obvia: el juego con las ideas de cómo hacemos con la modernidad-colonialidad que nos dicen que es interesante investigar, pensar y publicitar. Nada podríamos hacer si no entendemos que la máquina del racismo, de las discriminaciones, de la homofobia, de la pobreza y la creencia en la supremacía blanca implica tantos elementos como pelos tiene la cabeza. Gritamos que desde otra academia todo es posible: reivindicada desde ALMARGEN, grupo investigador que se adentra en la simbiosis de entender y analizar el pelo/cabello como más allá de un requisito estético que marca tendencias o influencias. Atrayendo toques hegemónicos que nos hacen profundizar en la posición de las personas tanto socialmente, políticamente y epistemológicamente en contextos diversos que nos hacen u obligan a posicionarnos por seguir alimentando cánones impuestos en torno al ¿cómo hemos de lucir y percibir el pelo? Apoyándonos en una estructura “almargen” de lo estructural y que plasmamos en el presente trabajo.
