Abstract
The chapter by Licia Fiol-Matta presents a rich and precise genealogy of the queer in Latin America. In its first part, it analyses the conceptual affinities with the queer in the work of Manuel Puig, Carlos Monsiváis, and Néstor Perlongher, before the emergence of the term and its configuration within a theoretical field. In its second part, it outlines some of the main arguments about the “here and now” of queer subjects in Latin America in the critical reading of queer theory and the dilemmas of civic normalization, which are implied by many of the new laws and policies affecting queer people and especially by the tensions and contradictions that dwell in them.
