A man masquerading as a lesbian in Spain's Golden Age fiction. A
hermaphrodite's encounters with the Spanish Inquisition. Debates
about virility in the national literature of postrevolutionary
Mexico. The work of contemporary artists Reinaldo Arenas, Severo
Sarduy, and Maria Luisa Bemberg. The public persona of Pedro
Zamora, former star of MTV's The Real World. Despite an enduring
queer presence in Hispanic literatures and cultures, most scholars
have avoided the specter of sexual dissidence in the
Spanish-speaking world. In Hispanisms and Homosexualities, editors
Sylvia Molloy and Robert Irwin bring together a group of essays
that advance Hispanic studies and gay and lesbian studies by
calling into question what is meant by the words Hispanic and
homosexual. The fourteen contributors to this volume not only offer
queer readings of Spanish and Latin American texts and
performances, they also undermine a univocal sense of homosexual
identities and practices. Taking on formations of national identity
and sexuality; the politics of visibility and outing; the
intersections of race, sexuality, and imperial discourse; the
status of transvestism and posing; and a postmodern aesthetic of
camp and kitsch, these essays from both established and emerging
scholars provide a more complex and nuanced view of related issues
involving nationality, ethnicity, and sexuality in the Hispanic
world. Hispanisms and Homosexualities offers the most sophisticated
critical and theoretical work to date in Hispanic and queer
studies. It will be an essential text for all those engaged with
the complexities of ethnic, cultural, and sexual
subjectivities.Contributors. Daniel Balderston, Emilie Bergmann,
Israel Burshatin, Brad Epps, Mary S. Gossy, Robert Irwin, Agnes I.
