Saying “Nosotras:” Speech acts and collective lesbian identities in Colombia

From this perspective I will examine how the group Triángulo Negro [“Black Triangle” from Bogotá, Colombia, constructs itself as a collective subject, how a “we”is constructed and how it is situated within current struggles of resistance and for transformation, since it is therein that a collective subject is shaped. I address the construction of a collective subject starting with the elaboration of the group’s history from its foundation in September 1996 until the second lesbian-gay pride carnival in June 1999, which coincided with one of the peace marches against violence due to the Colombian armed
conflict. About that stage I gathered accounts from focal interviews with women from the group, and documents from the group’s modest archive. This information was processed during fieldwork, and data obtained from a survey of sixteen members in 1999. In this paper I will follow the thread of speech acts producing narratives in order to analyse how a collective “we” came to be uttered in Triángulo Negro.... (AU)
