Resumen
This research is the result of my process and training as a young researcher at the Universidad Santo Tomás 2020, within the project entitled "Fashion Studies in Colombia", led by Professor Edward Salazar. Through the ethnographic interview, I analyze various experiences of lesbian / queer women residing in Bogotá, focusing on the ways in which aesthetics create recognizable lesbian identities in the body: clothing, hair, makeup and other narrative / expressive vehicles . I contrast these experiences with the representations of lesbian women in various Colombian soap operas from the 1980s to the present day, along with some key references of global audiovisual production, as they allow us to delve into the configuration of the aesthetic and cultural codes of these women. I propose an exercise of triangulation of information, which concludes that the experiences of women in the construction of lesbian identities are strongly traversed by their aesthetic narratives in the body, as well as by certain cultural stories that circulate thanks to (or despite) representations on television. These identities are not fixed; On the contrary, they are mobile and polysemic in time, which allowed a visual record that, in addition to this article, ended in a process of research-creation of a book that narrates these stories of the body, clothing, representation and the identity.
