Cuerpos que hablan: identidad de género e impacto social en la película XXY de Lucía Puenzo
En este articulo me centrare en el analisis de la pelicula argentina XXY (2007), dirigida por Lucia Puenzo. Me interesa el debate sobre la naturaleza de la identidad de genero y sobre las posibles transformaciones que dicho concepto esta sufriendo hoy en dia, problema que la pelicula presenta en su crisis. Entiendo la identidad “intersex” como uno de los mayores desafios a las estructuras sociales binarias y heteronormativas y me interesa presentar el impacto social y familiar que tiene el cuerpo intersex, tal como lo vemos en la pelicula, cuando su condicion se vuelve publica. Es la hipotesis principal de este articulo que los cuerpos hablan y se imponen en la articulacion y formulacion de su deseo, obligando a la familia, a la sociedad y a las estructuras legales a responder ante semejante apelacion. Multiples leyes se han generado sobre el tema y diferentes perspectivas pueden encontrarse sobre la pelicula desde su lanzamiento, algunas de las cuales son comentadas aqui, desde las cirugias normalizadoras hasta la construccion del cuerpo siguiendo el deseo del sujeto, asi como el concepto de “lo natural”. No se descuida la reflexion en torno al uso del lenguaje cinematografico elegido por la directora para expresar su vision de un tema que provoca debate y que, aunque ha generado nueva legislacion que protege a los sujetos involucrados, sin embargo, tambien ha generado resistencia en multiples niveles de la sociedad (las rioplatenses, uruguaya y argentina, son las representadas en la pelicula).
