Plebeian Prose is a key work by the pioneering Argentine Brazilian
anthropologist, sociologist and poet Nestor Perlongher. Perlongher,
whose work has been highly influential in the development of Latin
American cultural theory and literature, represents an original
critical 'queer' voice in Latin American thought. This book is an
exploration of the politics of desire, questions of identity, Latin
American neo-baroque aesthetics, sexual dissidence, violence and
jouissance. Prompted by his reading of Gilles Deleuze, the link
between politics and desire remains central to all Perlongher's
reflections and gives his writings a lasting topicality. A thinker
of the streets with a keen interest in those on the margins of
society, the ideas that are developed in this book offer a lucid
critique of capitalism and institutional power. Perlongher's
approach also reflects a particular Latin American neo-baroque
style, a mode of critique whose value endures today. Providing
insight into Latin American culture and politics of the late
twentieth century, Plebeian Prose will be of particular interest to
anyone working on critical theory, literary theory, anthropology,
sociology and gender studies.
