Tracing Trans Bodies In Neobaroque Literature, Huber David Jaramillo Gil
Tracing Trans Bodies In Neobaroque Literature, Huber David Jaramillo Gil
Publications and Research
This document briefly explores the ways in which trans people have been written through Baroque aesthetics in the social and cultural imaginary of Latin America, despite the various unjust forces that have attempted to make them invisible and exclude them from the national narrative. The differences between Severo Sarduy’s Neobaroque, Néstor Perlongher’s Neobarroso, and Pedro Lemebel’s Neobarrocho are analyzed, while exploring their individual limitations and potentialities for voicing the joys and pains of being trans in an exclusionary society.
