Un fantasma recorre los países más desarrollados: el generismo queer. Tras las grandes conquistas sociales de las últimas décadas relativas al respeto y los derechos de las personas que no encajan en los roles sexuales tradicionales, ha aparecido un nuevo transactivismo: uno que está destruyendo los logros alcanzados, que recae en concepciones retrógradas y genera problemas donde no los había. No está basado en conocimientos de la medicina, la psiquiatría o la psicología. Tampoco existe ninguna filosofía sólida que permita afirmar que se puede nacer en un cuerpo equivocado. Por el contrario, este nuevo activismo se basa en una filosofía posmoderna ya superada, en una idea particular de justicia social y en una agenda política que no se corresponde con los problemas reales de los individuos. Lo que se presenta como una revolución que por fin da voz a una realidad invisible hasta hoy puede estar encubriendo la legitimación educativa, jurídica y social de los estereotipos sexuales más conservadores. Nadie nace en un cuerpo equivocado es un brillante libro divulgativo que aborda este tema desde sus mil vertientes: la psicológica, la filosófica y la sociológica; y que atiende a fenómenos como las redes sociales, la vida en la ciudad moderna, la publicidad, la infantilización de la universidad o los problemas actuales de la infancia y la adolescencia, entre otros. Un análisis riguroso, lleno de empatía y buen humor, que se apoya en tesis fundamentadas y que invita a pensar y a desafiar el lenguaje triunfante de la teoría queer.
This book is formed by various chapters studying the manner in which conflicts, changes and ideologies appear in contemporary Hispanic discourses. The contributions analyze a wide variety of topics related to the manner in which ideological and epistemological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries are reflected in, and shape, Spanish language, literature, and other cultural expressions in both Spain and Latin America. The 19th century was conducive to various movements of independence, while, in Europe, radical changes of different types and in all contexts of life and knowledge occurred. Language was certainly affected by these changes resulting in new terminology and discourse strategies. Likewise, new schools of thought such as idealism, dialectic materialism, nihilism, and nationalism, among others, were established, in addition to new literary movements such as romanticism, evocative of (r)evolution, individualism and realism, inspired by the social effects of capitalism. Scientific and technological advances continued throughout the 20th century, when the women’s liberation movement consolidated. The notion of globalization also appears, simultaneously to various crises, despotism, wars, genocide, social exclusion and unemployment. Together, these trends give rise to a vindicating discourse that reaches large audiences via television. The classic rhetoric undergoes some changes given the explicit suasion and the absence of delusion provided by other means of communication. The 21st century is defined by the flood of information and the overpowering presence of mass communication; so much so, that the technological impact is clear in all realms of life. From the linguistic viewpoint, the appearance of anglicisms and technicalities mirrors the impact of post-modernity. There is now a need to give coherence to a national discourse that both grasps the past and adapts itself to the new available resources with the purpose of conveying an effective and attractive message to a very large audience. Discourse is swift, since society does not seem to have time to think, but instead seeks to maintain interest in a world filled with stimuli that, in turn, change constantly. Emphasis has been switched to a search for historical images and moments that presumably explain present and future events. It is also significant that all this restlessness is discussed and explained via new means such as the world-wide-web. The change in communication habits (e-mail, chats, forums, SMS) and tools (computers, mobile phones) that was initiated in the 20th century has had a net effect on the directness and swiftness of language.
Deshacer el género recoge reflexiones recientes de la autora sobre el género y la sexualidad, centrándose en el nuevo parentesco, el psicoanálisis y el tabú del incesto, el transgénero, el intersexo, las categorías de diagnóstico, la violencia social y la labor de transformación social.

Over the past generation there has been a revolution in our understanding of human sexualities. From being on the periphery of historical and scientific studies, sexuality has increasingly come to be seen as close to the heart of our understanding of contemporary societies. Since the 1960s there has been an explosion of new sexual knowledges which have re-shaped the ways in which the erotic is understood. A rich new literature has emerged, often produced by scholars influenced by feminism, lesbian and gay politics and other sexual movements. Sexualities and Society: A Reader offers a selection of the best of recent scholarship, from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Addressing sexualities in global perspective, it introduces some of the most exciting texts in the field, bringing together a collection of compelling contemporary research which will be fascinating to readers worldwide. The chapters are grouped into five sections: social and historical approaches to sexualities; the gender of sexuality; sexual identities; globalization; power and resistance; and sexual values and life experiments. Sexualities and Society will be a valuable resource for students of a range of courses addressing sexuality, including gender studies, feminist studies, the body, lesbian and gay studies and queer studies, aswell as sociology, cultural studies, politics, history and social policy.
The book examines the links between literature and film in Latin America by using queer theory and a series of recent cultural productions whose arguments destabilize traditional gender roles and heteronormative masculinity. For many years, the connections between a literary text and its film adaptation have been considered only from the point of view of the latter’s fidelity to the written work, which many scholars imagined to be the original that filmmakers needed to respect. Within the last two decades, however, the idea of adaptation fidelity has been challenged by a number of critics who refute the existence of an original text and promote the notion of an ambiguous and complex relationship between a literary work and its film adaptation. Based on such developments and with the help of queer theory, this book questions and revises several crucial theoretical approximations that analyze the relations between the two art forms in an attempt to overcome the limitations of fidelity discourse. This is the first book-length study that seeks to examine, with the appropriate detail, the connections between film and literature in Latin America through the lenses of queer theory and by focusing on the representations of numerous practices that do not fit within the general framework of heteronormative sexuality.
