Stereotypes generated by obsolete ignorance are perpetuated and reproduced. But is there a common denominator? What is the “I” underneath all these constructions? Is there something underneath all these social colonizations? Or is the individual doomed to exist as an amalgam of pre-constructions? How many structures inhabit the body I take as mine?
