Sexualidad y nación

by Daniel Balderston (editor)

This book, together with the special issue of the Revista Iberoamericana that accompanies it, originate from a circular sent to the members of the International Institute of Ibero-American Literature requesting contributions on sexuality and literature in Latin America. The number of proposals received far exceeded expectations, therefore it was decided to publish an issue of the magazine dedicated to erotic literature and a book on the relationship between sexuality and nation which was the focus of many proposals received. This book covers a wide variety of research areas including various countries and periods, but also different ways of working on the relationship between sexuality and nation. Some authors study the fractures of the modern Latin American subject both as a citizen and as a desiring subject, others work on the performance of sexuality and citizenship, and many work on the issue of both political exile and exile as a result of the ostracism of sexual minorities.
