Abstract

The essay analyzes Paul Preciado's film Orlando, My Political Biography, based on readings from the field of the Sociology of Differences. Inspired by the work of Virginia Woolf, Preciado presents a narrative where multiple non-binary figures take the name Orlando, exploring how the characters' collective and personal experiences blur together. This text aims to discuss the trans-historical narratives constructed by the film from a queer and post-colonial perspective.
