Brandon P. Bisbey argues that humor based on camp and cursileria -- a form of bad taste that expresses a sense of social marginalization -- is used to represent key social conflicts and contradictions of modernity in Mexico. Combining perspectives from queer theory, humor theory, and Latin American cultural studies, Bisbey looks at a corpus of canonical and lesser-known texts that treat a range of topics relevant to contemporary discussions of gender, sexuality, race, and human rights in Mexico--including sex work, transvestitism, bisexuality, same-sex marriage, racism, classism, and homophobic and transphobic violence"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mexican literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Homosexuality in literature. 650 0 $a Queer theory. 650 0 $a Humor in literature. 650 0 $a Gender identity $z Mexico. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bisbey, Brandon P., 1981- $t Between camp and cursi $d Albany : State University of New York Press, 2021 $z 9781438486673 $w (DLC) 2021036725 830 0 $a Genders in the global south. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802020300.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=78826D24E23911EC9D80461122ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
