Queer Writing
Another focus of my work lies in Gender Studies and Queer Theory. So far, I have primarily engaged with the theory and practice of queer writing among modern Latin American authors. This has resulted in essays on Pedro Lemebel, and Gloria Anzaldúa (dossier on La actualidad de Gloria Anzaldúa. Nuevas Lecturas de Borderlands/La Frontera in print). In addition to queer writing traditions, I am particularly interested in the methodology of Queer Reading and in the concept of Queer Temporality. I am currently working on articles exploring those concepts in French 19th-Century Literature and Latin American theory.
