description The problem of politics in contemporary social theory confronts us with the tension between political action capable of social transformation, and the dissolution of the subject. If there is neither subject, nor authors, personalities or leaders, in the modern conception of these terms, what sort of social and political actions would be able to change the course of history? Considering the notion of ‘anal politics’ proposed by Paul B. Preciado, this article concentrates its analysis on queer theories and practices, in order to offer a possible reading of the relation between micro and macropolitical processes and their implication on the production of subjects, as well as artistic and cultural creativity. The Argentinian ar- tivist poet Susy Shock, of manifest queer political rooting, will serve as a case study to inquire into an aesthetic-political-theorical process that challenges the social frontiers of the possible.

Preguntarse por el problema de la política en la teoría social contemporánea, nos enfrenta a la tensión que se presenta en la articulación entre la acción política capaz de transformar lo social y la disolución del sujeto. Si no hay sujeto, tampoco autores, ni personalidades, ni líderes en el sentido moderno de estos términos, ¿cuáles son las modalidades de acción social y política capaces transformar el curso  de  la  historia? A partir de esta pregunta, y sirviéndonos de la noción de políticas del ano de Paul B. Preciado, tomaremos la teoría y las prácticas queer para  ahondar en la relación entre procesos micro y macropolíticos, enfocando en los modos de producción subjetiva y los procesos de creación artístico- cultural capaces de trastocar los límites de lo posible. Así, Susy Shock, como un caso de militancia artística con manifiesto arraigo político queer de la escena under de Buenos  Aires, nos permitirá acceder al análisis de un proceso de producción estético-político-teórico.
