A volume in Research in Queer Studies Series Editors Paul Chamness
Miller and Hidehiro Endo, Akita International University The book
examines the links between literature and film in Latin America by
using queer theory and a series of recent cultural productions
whose arguments destabilize traditional gender roles and
heteronormative masculinity. For many years, the connections
between a literary text and its film adaptation have been
considered only from the point of view of the latter's fidelity to
the written work, which many scholars imagined to be the original
that filmmakers needed to respect. Within the last two decades,
however, the idea of adaptation fidelity has been challenged by a
number of critics who refute the existence of an original text and
promote the notion of an ambiguous and complex relationship between
a literary work and its film adaptation. Based on such developments
and with the help of queer theory, this book questions and revises
several crucial theoretical approximations that analyze the
relations between the two art forms in an attempt to overcome the
limitations of fidelity discourse. This is the first book-length
study that seeks to examine, with the appropriate detail, the
connections between film and literature in Latin America through
the lenses of queer theory and by focusing on the representations
of numerous practices that do not fit within the general framework
of heteronormative sexuality.
