¿Imitar o rechazar? La narrativa argentina gay actual frente a la heteronormatividad
To imitate or to reject? Contemporary Argentine Gay Narrative and Heteronormativity

Summary/Abstract: The most recent Argentine gay narrative, despite being written in the post-emancipation era, is still immersed in a series of dichotomies typical of pre-emancipation gay narrative: hetero/homo, masculine/feminine, and strength/weakness. This article analyzes literary texts by contemporary Argentine writers, most widely read and commonly known in the Argentine LGTBIQ+ community (Facundo R. Soto, Peter Pank and Ioshua) in order to hypothesize the existence of a tension between a dichotomous vision of the homo and heterosexual confrontation and another, where this binarism is eroded within the texts. It also discusses whether it is possible to speak in this context of a conceptual convergence encompassed under the synthetic notion of civilibarbarie introduced by Elsa Drucaroff.
