Abstract

The LGBTQ+ movement has been advocating for their rights all over Latin America, thus each country had faced and still faces particular characteristics (legal, cultural, political and social) in order to advocate for the movement rights leading to different methodologies and theories, from anthropological narratives, to analyse it. For instance, Globalized Gayborhoods -as a typology- describe the LGBTQ+ rights status all over the world, specifically in capital cities, and therefore including some Latin-American cities. Regarding this typology, and by questioning it, we ask: How gayborhoods can be characterised in Latin America under Queer IR, internationalization, and narratives under the scope of Staller Education? Thus, we propose Gayborhoods Lat (Latin America) as places that characterise the status of the LGBTQ+ rights in the region based on Queer International Relations, internationalization, and some oral narratives from Stellar Education.

Highlights

  • The LGBTQ+ movement in Latin America has been advocating for their rights all over the region, but with specific characteristics within each country

  • Our interest is to dehegemonize the ways of knowledge production and education through creating a multiplicity of the claims criticizing the predominant and hegemonic discourse of life and wellbeing. Acknowledging those characteristics, theories, and methods, the follow up question is: How gayborhoods can be characterised in Latin America under Queer International Relations (IR), internationalization, and Staller Education? this article will propose Gayborhoods Lat as places that characterise the status of the LGBTQ+ rights in the region

  • Having Stellar Education, Queer IR, and internationalization as theoretical and methodological approaches, is possible to question the typology of Globalized Gayborhoods from Martel (2013)

Summary

Introduction

The LGBTQ+ movement in Latin America has been advocating for their rights all over the region, but with specific characteristics within each country. Resulting in a theoretical obstacle for IR, and at some point, methodological In this perspective, the need to compile the local and global characteristics of GG implies researching for another methodological and theoretical approach from IR, internationalization appears as a possible, and more specific, method for studying these cultural, social, political and economic characteristics of the typology. The need of questioning the typology of globalized gayborhoods, and study it under Queer IR, by deconstructing and constructing the local, regional and international communities figures (Weber, 2016) or categories of LGBTQ+ as a subject of study for IR in Latin America. Having Stellar Education, Queer IR, and internationalization as theoretical and methodological approaches, is possible to question the typology of Globalized Gayborhoods from Martel (2013). There are some theoretical challenges that will appear as the concept develops
