Eventos del deseo sexualidades minoritarias en las culturas/literaturas de España y Latinoamérica a finales del siglo XX

"This book proposes a critical look at peninsular and Hispanic American cultures / literatures under the influence of LGBTIQ activism at the end of the 20th century, when binary codes dissolve massively to make way for new reinterpretations of queer / gay genealogies and discovery of the subversive potential and the performative vigor of the "events of desire". At the same time, are the years of neoliberal globalization that is beginning to prevail, an era characterized by its fráxitos, term that Brad Epps proposes in his introduction to the volume to point to the apparent tension between the successes (emancipating, aesthetic, etc.). and failures (socio-political and others). The chapters approach the topic of dissident sexualities from different angles: from trans autobiography or queer children's story to LGTBIQ presence on Spanish television and "porno activism" at the Chilean post-dictatorship. They also analyze key personalities, such as Nazario, Mendicutti, Villordo or Cozarinsky, and decisive programs: the erotic turn, the lesbian visibility, the neoliberalism or the "post-dictatorship fictions". A complete balance of the state of the operative tendencies in the Hispanic queer studies at the turn of the millennium."--Translated from back cover.
