Overview

Since the advent of literature, images of homosexuality have served as metaphors for the unnamable, the abnormal, and that which lies outside the Nation. Along with a consideration of the nature and boundaries of gay literature, this book constitutes a pioneering attempt to systematize a history of gay literature in Argentina. The author proposes the formation of a gay tradition that works to resist hegemonic discourses and contributes to the fight to expand civil rights.
