Queer-emos un mundo novo

This essay harnesses the subversive power of queer theory and applies it to contemporary linguistic categories. This is a theory that breaks with a binary view: reality is too complex to be reduced to being-A or not-being-A, being a man or a woman. It is a reclamation of the many spaces between the two stereotypes. When applied to Galician literature, queer theory allows us to interpret an anti-power tradition, of a nation without a state, rich and many faceted, that can be seen as symptomatic of those dissident spaces.
