No. 4 (2023): Irruption of queer theory in language studies

Alma Máter. Portada número 4. Irrupción de la teoría cuir en los estudios del lenguaje

The issue of this new volume of Alma Máter, the outbreak of cuir theory in language studies, proposes a recovery (coming up from another view, more extensive and disruptive) of the queries and concerns that cross our field of studies. While academic literature prominently cuir (instead of queer) is in its beginnings, some punctual contributions seek to review habits and traditions that, being part of Latin America, condition bodies, subjectivities, and identities, from and within the language. Rupture and diversity, the visibility of abject beings, and the challenge of the established logic are some of the constants that can be found. The reason behind all of them? Being able to re-think ourselves, watch ourselves again from a different perspective, and discover those nuances that (without us being always conscious of it) shape our reality.
