Queering Latin American Theater: A Panoramic Study And Its Performative Implications., Joanne Pol May 2010

Queering Latin American Theater: A Panoramic Study And Its Performative Implications., Joanne Pol

Open Access Dissertations

The aim of this dissertation is to analyze Latin American play texts (1970-2006), within their historical and geographical framework, under a queer theoretical lens. What I specifically focus my analysis on are destabilized identities through the play text's performative construction of gender as well as the theatricality. A queer theoretical dialogue not only breaks with the compulsory gay and feminist criticism, under which these plays have been categorized, but also allows for a (re)conceptualization of queer performativities in Latin American Theatre.
