This article focuses on the contingent construction of political subjectivations located at the intersection of various forms of domination as well as various emancipatory social practices. Seeking to overcome a constitutive aporia of intersectionality, between subject and structure, the text seeks to address 'invisibilized' subject's positions without inferring them directly from structures of domination, and without individualizing them or diluting them in a disordered accumulation of specificities. Based on a corpus of narratives from spontaneous direct actions that took place in Latin America over the past two decades, the article tries to show how these transgressive protest actions can be interpreted as transversal intersectional political subjectivations enabling the strategic convergence of divergent positions and the public expression of positions, which were invisible and inaudible until the protests. The analysis of these positions not only gives a better understanding of collective actions and participants' motivations, it also leads to undertake an intersectional analysis of the structures of domination from the epistemological perspective of the margins.

By resorting to a non-essentialist conception of the political & by defining the latter as the unveiling of the contingent character of what appears to be real, objective, or ineluctable, this text aims at identifying the political value of social imaginaries. We shall do so by showing how reality effects are created by clashes between contradictory imaginaries, tending to dislocate the symbolic order or the political language that appears like "objectivity" in a given time & space, as well as suturing the gap generated by this dislocation or representation crisis.
