Description
Drawing inspiration from the 2020 Marcha Lencha-“Lesbian March”-in Mexico City, Alejandra M芍rquez expands the concept of
into a critical framework for thinking about gender and sexuality more expansively and inclusively, beyond essentialist identity categories. Assembling a lesbian archive that stretches from the publication of Rosamar赤a Roffiel’s cult classic Amora in 1989 to the 2010s,
argues that sapphic representation in contemporary Mexican narrative subverts but also reinforces patriarchal norms. Sapphic narratives, M芍rquez argues, are not inherently queer but rather can uphold binary gender roles, heteronormativity, and monogamy. Bridging literature and activism, and putting theorists such as Judith Butler, Jack Halberstam, and Jos谷 Esteban Mu?oz into conversation with Latin American scholarship,
boldly joins ongoing debates about the place of queerness, or
, in Latin America.
