Epistemología de los cuerpos y los territorios: un análisis rizomático

Abstract

The article based on rhizomatic thought from Deleuze and Guattari analyses diverse conceptions about bodies and territories considering the pre-Socratic period with Parmenides, neuroscience studies, and decolonial and community feminisms. Thus, a theoretical examination is developed criticising the definitions of bodies and territories as «given objects» which are configured as «bodies without organs» that are indispensable for capitalism and western thought. In response the aim of the article is to expose knowledge as a relational agency between bodies and territories that could be developed by interseccional segmentations. For that reason epistemology of bodies and territories assumes that without bodies there are no territories without territories there are no bodies and without both there is no knowledge.
