Decolonisation systematises itself as a culture that has spread even into the bastions of the semiospheres of the former colonial powers. Through specific semiotic operations, decolonisation translates Western consciousness into a third determination, advocating a global revolution against the discrimination of "non-conforming" individualities, such as women. Indeed, these semiotic practices follow a paradigm of discursive strategies whose recurrence describes a specific semiotic personality and polemical goals. These goals are at the heart of the Western semiosphere: monuments, urban spaces, sacred places, books and films, museums and spaces of memory that have made our history are transformed by decolonial practices into signs of an urgent conflict. Since decolonial culture also encompasses feminist, transfeminist and queer movements, which generally adopt an anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist stance, an intersectional approach will be chosen in the course of the talk, focusing in particular on women's subjectivities. A cultural semiotic analysis (generative and interpretative) will clarify precisely the modes of existence, the practices of emergence and the mechanisms of “invention” of these “new” identities. The intervention will describe the morphogenesis of decolonial-feminist meaning and the textual organisations of some decolonial texts, in Europe and Sud America, to show the mechanisms of inscription of political identities in collective memory.
