Bodies and Biases:

Sexualities in Hispanic Cultures and Literature[s]
Front Cover
David William Foster, Roberto Reis
2 Reviews
University of MINNESOTA Press, 1996 - 440 pages
Looking at a wide range of cultural practices and artifacts, including television, popular music, and pornography, Bodies and Biases addresses representations of sexual behavior and collective identity, homosexuality, and ideologies of gender in historical and contemporary Hispanic culture.
Topics include cross-dressing on the seventeenth-century Spanish stage, gay life in Cuba and Mexico, a butch-femme reading of Peri-Rossi's Solitario de amor, pornography, and queer and lesbian spaces. Some essays offer radical rereadings of canonical text such as Don Quixote and Martin Fierro; others bring to the fore lesser-known works, such as Marco Denevi's Rosaura a las diez and the writings of Virgilio Pinera. Reflecting a diversity of sociological, literary, and psychological theoretical underpinnings, Bodies and Biases is a fascinating analysis of sexuality in the context of Hispanic literature and culture.
