Theories of sexual dissent: From popular contexts to elite use. Theory of queer in Latin America in light of the thinkers of sex and gender dissent

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the use of queer theory as a theoretical tool to think sex and gender dissent against a number of Latin American authors who have thought about this and intersectionality of race, class and geographical areas. These authors have developed a literary corpus and theoretical social production that reflects not only the position, but strategies to resist and build relationships between different social sectors. It would be possible to speak, so, from a Latin American theory of sexual dissidence emerged from popular contexts against the elite uses that gave the queer theory in the continent.
