摘要
本研究考察了Javier Vargas Sotomayor的《图帕克的伪造》(La Falsificación de las Túpac)中图帕克·阿马鲁(Tupac Amaru)的怪异之处,以了解旅行(异装癖)是如何作为一种方法论和认识论来处理和反对民族认同的象征的。本文将证伪作为一种游记方法论的中心准则,密切关注小说、虚假和捏造在英雄和民族的产生中的作用。Roper认为,游记不仅暴露了其原作的结构性,而且是一种表达异议的工具,也是一种与可能的人相遇的空间。
This study examines the queering of Tupac Amaru in Javier Vargas Sotomayor's La Falsificación de las Túpac (The Falsification of Tupac) to discern how travestismo (transvestism) functions as a methodology and epistemology for working on and against the symbols that underwrite national identity. This essay treats falsification as a central precept of a travesti methodology by paying close attention to the role of fiction, falsity, and fabrication in the production of the hero and the nation. Roper argues that travestismo not only exposes the constructedness of its original but also functions as a tool of dissent and as a space for staging an encounter with the possible.
期刊介绍:
Providing a much-needed forum for interdisciplinary discussion, GLQ publishes scholarship, criticism, and commentary in areas as diverse as law, science studies, religion, political science, and literary studies. Its aim is to offer queer perspectives on all issues touching on sex and sexuality. In an effort to achieve the widest possible historical, geographic, and cultural scope, GLQ particularly seeks out new research into historical periods before the twentieth century, into non-Anglophone cultures, and into the experience of those who have been marginalized by race, ethnicity, age, social class, body morphology, or sexual practice.
