Travesti Transnational Choreopolitics in Migranta
Ungraspable
This article focuses on the representation of Blackness in the fiction of Colombian author Juan Cárdenas, particularly emphasising the novels The Strata and Shadow Elastic. It explores the challenges faced by Cárdenas when integrating Black characters into narratives narrated by white male protagonists. The novels question the perspective of the male narrator, which often extends beyond the confines of European rationality. As a result, the act o…
Entre lo monstruoso y lo servil
Este artículo estudia la representación literaria del cuerpo negro en el contexto del multiculturalismo tomando como ejemplo la novela El fin del Océano Pacífico (2020) del colombiano Tomás González. Allí se propone examinar las formas en que el estatuto de lo humano en la diáspora africana adquiere un carácter ambiguo según se observa bajo el lente de la plasticidad (Zakiyyah Iman Jackson). De esta forma, el artículo sostiene que la racializació…
Race, Memory, and Spectral Performance
Two plays by Afro-Spanish playwright Silvia Albert Sopale— Blackface y otras vergüenzas and La Moreneta —illustrate José Esteban Muñoz’s concept of “disidentification” by which marginalized artists hijack and reshape dominant cultural texts that exclude minority voices. Sopale’s work reframes archives and artifacts to confront historical racial violence and its contemporary legacies. Her strategic use of blackface alludes to alternative revaluati…
Being a Good Father
This article employs Joan Tronto’s theoretical framework of care practices to analyze how Eugenio Derbez’s film No se aceptan devoluciones depicts male-led child care, reconciling masculine expectations with shifting gender roles. The film illuminates tensions surrounding migration pressures, the unequal distribution of domestic responsibilities, and persistent biases that hold mothers disproportionately accountable for family care. These themes …
From Absence to Excess
This article examines the videoclip Quilo, made by the Colombian hip-hop duo DxD and circulated online. Using bodily technologies such as hairstyles, clothing, and posing, Quilo depicts how the futurity of Black life can be shaped. Drawing from recent conceptualizations of Black life and from Latin American hip-hop studies, this article analyses Quilo by contrasting it with media coverage of police violence and the killing of Black youths in Colo…
El mundo es de las mujeres
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in representations of transgender individuals in Spanish popular culture, particularly in written and visual media. This study analyzes Antonio Mercero's crime fiction novel El final del hombre (2017) in which transgender life functions as a metaphor for modern and progressive Spain, highlighting its successes and limitations regarding gender justice and representation. While the novel introduces…
Raising a star
This study explores the representation of Blackness in the telenovela La mamá del 10 , revealing it as ambiguous but largely depoliticized. Herein, soccer presents a “sanitized” way of being Black when hard work and high‐performance sports are used to frame nonwhite populations within white values that manage to save a young man from repeating his Black father's mistakes. In addition, the mall is examined in relation to racial democracy. La mamá …
Una mujer loca y no una loca mujer
Este artículo examina la telecomedia colombiana Los Reyes (2005) con el fin de sondear la noción de trapdoor (Gossett, Stanley, Burton) en el contexto de las representaciones de la vida trans y travesti, cada vez mayores, en los medios masivos de comunicación. Mi análisis confirma que la ambivalencia del cuerpo trans termina activando una serie de mecanismos que, a la larga, lo atan a una visión heteronormativa del género y la sexualidad que busc…
Incendiar el contrato sexual
Cuidar al hijo muerto
El presente artículo estudia cómo se representa la masculinidad afrodiaspórica en Siembra (2015), un film dirigido por los colombianos Santiago Lozano Álvarez y Ángela María Osorio Rojas. Aquí analizo cómo la pérdida de un hijo da cuenta del estatuto contradictorio de la vida negra: una serie de vivencias que van del goce a la vulnerabilidad extrema. Mi análisis relaciona la violencia sufrida por un hombre afrocolombiano con lo que Christina Shar…
Too Much a Woman
This article explores how Lady Masacre (Mario Mendoza, Colombia, 2013) constructs the narrative of a transsexual woman, Gabriela López, as a way to reinforce views on non-heteronormative life that perpetuate the dominant values expected from marginalised communities. In reading this novel, I argue that Mendoza reduces Gabriela to a pendular existence between being an autonomous woman and the femme fatal role that eventually defines her. In so doi…
