| Description: | Queer enunciation is analyzed in two novels by the Colombian writer Fernando Vallejo: El desbarrancadero and La rambla paralela. The discursive practice carried out by the narrative voice and the ideological transgressions that it undertakes never seek to be in agreement with the "normal", the "natural", the "legitimate" or the "dominant" in relation to delicate themes like reproduction, motherhood or life. It seeks to confront, to disturb and to annoy those of "pure" and "calm" mindset that abide by the expected social behaviors; in a few words, it seeks to scandalize the hypocrites and to attest those appreciations about life, motherhood and reproduction that have no space within correctness. |
