| contents | René Marqués, Ángel Lozada, and the constitution of the (Queer) Puerto Rican national subject Alfredo Villanueva-Collado Sociología queer identity narrative imaginary homosexual In this essay, I explore the subject of the binaryhomophobia/homosexual desire as a component of thePuerto Rican personal and national masculine subject.I focus on two novels, La mirada by René Marqués andLa patografía, by Ángel Lozada, exploring the ways inwhich both focus on the homosexual subject and conflateit with a national identity. I have approached this materialas an informed queer reader, who has tried to find sinceadolescence positive queer role models in the literatureof my country. La mirada has not received the criticalscrutiny it deserves. Critics have emphasized its pathologicalelements without exploring its deep structure,which subverts the surface message. On the otherhand, La patografía exposes internalized homophobiaas a component of Puerto Rican queer writing andunwittingly buttresses the parameters of heterosexualdominant discourse. My conclusion: our political identityplays a decisive role in our imaginal gender identity. 2007 artículo científico 1538-6279 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37719110 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 |
