Narrative Embodiment of Latinx Queer Futurity

This performance studies, intercultural communication analysis offers masculine Latinx intersectionality as considerations toward queer futurity. Presented through autoethnographic data, the research essay brings Latinx into embodied practice via the memories of queer life. These memories are encouraged to be read through their trans potentialities for connection, rather than as materialization of definition or self-actualization. The narratives can be read in multiple orders with the intent to demonstrate how queer futurity is created by performing queer memory; queer memory is embodied in a queer present that intersections with not only a person's multiple identity trajectories but also with changing contemporary discourses. As queer memories are retold, they say less about the moment remembered and more about the queer present moment lived. Most importantly, if read through a trans framework, these memories offer insights into a queer future of relationality to be imagined
