Abstract
ABSTRACT: In this article, I propose a cartographic approach to literature that privileges the study of personal itineraries through the city. More specifically, my proposal consists of tracing these itineraries and analyzing how they subvert the dominant narratives of the city. My hypothesis is that the representations that emerge from such an analysis allow for a reconceptualization of the city that dislocates and actualizes the hegemonic imaginaries of urban settlements. To demonstrate the insights that can flow from this approach, in this article I analyze the itineraries of Salvador Novo through Mexico City as depicted in La estatua de sal . In doing so, I trace the complex network of queer circuits in post-revolutionary Mexico and present a more holistic understanding of the city that corrects the dominant representations of the capital as hyper-masculine and heterosexual.
