Abstract

Between Camp and Cursi Humor and Homosexuality in Contemporary Mexican Narrative, proposes a path of reinterpretation of Camp and Cursi humor as a subversive manifestation. A humor defined as the apprehension of an incongruity that is associated with queerness in terms of resistance to the norms of gender and sexuality that persist in Latin American societies as an ideologically installed memory in the representation of the colonized body. In the book, the author establishes a relationship between Camp and Cursi as an expression of postcolonial marginality of the lower class based on its own aesthetics associated with bad taste.
