In contrast, they challenge theconcept of the nation, undermining the authority of thelegal system to exclude or punish, and bringing to theforefront the protagonism of global capital that takes overnations and transnational spaces. By crossing over fromone island to another, by inhabiting capital-enabled sitesof transit like airports and hotels, and by occupying thespaces of prisons, mental institutions, and cemeteries,the transvestites adopt and subvert previous migrations,as well as embody the transformation of the nation in thecontext of the hegemony of global capital. 2007 artículo científico 1538-6279 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37719104 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=377 Centro Journal application/pdf The City University of New York Centro Journal (Estados Unidos de América) Num.1 Vol.XIX |
