Entre la agencia y el estigma: Negociaciones identitarias de brasileñas/os en Santiago de Chile desde una perspectiva Biográfica-Interseccional

This article explores how intersections of gender, race, and nationality influence both the migration experience and identity processes of Brazilians living in Santiago, Chile. We use a biographicalintersectional analysis of their migratory trajectories collected with the Life Stories Method, in-depth interviews, and Fotohistorias (participatory photography). The analysis suggests that Brazilian female corporality, represented especially by Afro-descendant women, becomes simultaneously an icon of a sexualized Brazilianness and a device of agency and identity negotiations.
