Queer Anomalies: Reading Contemporary Argentinian Literature

This article contrasts the identity politics that took place in the last decades in Argentina with the passing of the Civil Marriage Law and Gender Identity Law with the literary imagination of texts from the same years, in which sexuality exceeds categorisations and presents an anomalous horizon. The first part of the text examines Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the anomalous as a tool to redefine queer sexualities without recourse to a transcendental norm. The second part of the article looks at the work of two writers, Naty Menstrual and Pablo Perez, as examples of the logic of the anomalous.
