Estrategias queer para reapropiar y resignificar el espacio urbano en la narrativa de Gerardo González y Facundo R. Soto

Abstract

Focused on the narrative of two 21st century Argentine writers –Gerardo Gonzalez y Facundo R. Soto– this article addresses the way their work reappropriates and resignifies some of the urban spaces most closely related to traditional patriarchy –the family house, the gym, and the soccer field. The article uses theoretical concepts such as Henri Lefebvre’s production of space and Michel Foucault’s heterotopy to show that Gonzalez’ and Soto’s texts are mostly successful in challenging the paradigms of traditional urban planning and in queering said urban spaces.
