Description
"The Avowal of Difference" explores the potentialities and limitations that queer theory offers in the context of Latino American texts and subjects. Ben. Sifuentes-Jauregui contrasts Latino American sexual genealogies with the Anglo-European coming out narrative and interrogates the centrality of the coming out story as the regulating metaphor for gay, lesbian, or queer identities. In its place, the book looks at other strategies from silence to circumlocution, from disavowal to indifference to theorize queer subject formation in a Latino American cultural context. The analysis of texts by Jose Lezama Lima, Luis Zapata, Manuel Puig, Severo Sarduy, Junot Diaz, and others offers a comparative approach to understanding how queer sexualities are shaped and written in other cultural contexts." - from Amzon
