Queer Argentina: Movement Towards the Closet in a Global Time

Queer Argentina: Movement Towards the Closet in a Global Time

Matthew J. Edwards

2016

Genres: PoliticsSociety & Culture

Through insightful, high-paced commentary this book directs attention south, towards Argentina. Current events, political debates, and the cultural production of artists, authors and public figures, including César Aira, María Moreno, Naty Menstrual and Copi, among others, provide case studies where heterosexual social models are rejected and, in their place, queer frameworks become the preferred model for living differently. Queer Argentina traces the movements of today’s marginalized communities as they pass through and choose to remain within the closet: a space that is emblematic of collective struggles in silence and community formation outside the (hetero)norm.
