- Abstract
Objective: the article shows and reflects on the processes of dehumanization and bodily constriction suffered by female Afro-descendants based on the narrative of a young woman who studies at a public university in Medellín. Methodology: the research from which this article emerges had narrative analysis as its methodology. Results: the fundamental topics that emerge from the young woman's stories are focused on how the youthful, racialized body is the constant object of bodily controls from socialization processes, and how hyper-sexualization and location, like the denial of what is beautiful, dehumanizes them. Conclusion: the main conclusion of the investigation is centered on the fact that the dehumanization suffered by female Afro-descendants establishes them in a place of symbolic inequality that is just as relevant as inequalities regarding access to economic resources.
