Transvestism, Masculinity, and Latin American Literature Genders Share Flesh Paperback - 2002 - 1st Edition

by Ben. Sifuentes-Jauregui


From the publisher

This book is about transvestism and the performance of gender in Latin American literature and culture. Ben. Sifuentes-Juregui explores the figure of the transvestite and his/her relation to the body through a series of canonical Latin American texts. By analyzing works by Alejo Carpentier, Jos Donoso, Severo Sarduy and Manuel Puig (author of Kiss of the Spiderwoma n), alongside critical works in gender studies and queer theory, Sifuentes-Juregui shows how transvestism operates not only to destabilize, but often to affirm sexual, gender, national and political identities.

First line

The presence of an excessive and explosive masculinity in Latin American cultures bewilders observers and makes them ask whether there is a place for different and alternative conceptualizations of genders and sexualities.
