| Résumé anglais |
The presence of cross-dressing and androgyny in the works of contemporary Spanish American authors and visual artists Severo Sarduy, Pedro Lemebel, Eugenia Prado, Roberto Echavarren and Gloria Anzaldúa indicates changes in the perception and representation of identity as a cultural category. In their works, sometimes referred to as neoavantgarde or neobaroque, changing and unstable characters appear. The disturbing presence of these « transitive » or « nomadic subjects » points to the deconstruction and reformulation of fixed cultural categories such as gender, ethnicity, race and nationality. The analysis of these transgressive subjects helps to advance a theory of cultural identity based on the ambiguity of the cross-dresser and the androgyne, on their ever-changing appearances and games with otherness. This theory can be applied in the study of groups and subjects that emerge in the hybrid cultural context of postmodern America. It points to the presence of otherness within oneness, of alterity within identity. These subjects-characters represent a political and cultural resistance to the norms of the patriarchal and neocolonial system of values imposed by the neoliberal economic, cultural and media establishment. They are hybrid, transitive and transgressive subjects that form part of a multi- and transcultural, postmodern Latin America. Source : Éditeur (via OpenEdition Journals) |
