Leticia Sabsay is a prominent Argentinian academic, based at the London School of Economics, whose work has been exploring pressing issues and questions: how gender and sexuality relate to ideas of freedom, how to define human subjectivity, how to politically resist, among others. In Sabsay's writing, ideas of gender and sexuality cannot be dissociated from our broader political formations and complex processes of becoming subjects in neoliberalism. And our aspirations to evoke political shifts and improvements cannot be separated from a notion of the human as a being with permeable borders, invariably interconnected to others and to a conjunction of experiences -as opposed to the liberal notion of autonomous individuality.

The following is an interview conducted in November of 2018, at the LSE, in which I asked her about her references, her more recent body of work, and her conceptualizations of current tendencies in politics. The interview was lightly edited for clarity.Thais: Could you start telling me a little bit about your trajectory and your academic interests so that we can have a background? Sabsay: I've been working in the UK for the last eight years or so, and before that I was in Germany for a little while. Before that, I finished my Ph.D. in Spain and I have a whole past in Argentina, as an Argentinian scholar and teacher as well. In relation to my research, I would say that I am a scholar working at the intersection of political theory, sexuality studies, feminism and queer theory, and what we might understand as cultural studies, from a very profound transdisciplinary point of view. My first major research, out of which I published my first two books, was concerned with sexual politics in Argentina and extending to the South Cone in the post dictatorship period. The question there was how to understand processes of sexual democratization within a broader landscape per-
