The trans* experience in Latin American young adult literature, a (de)constructive instrument. (2024). Albores, 3(4), 69-82. https://doi.org/10.61820/alb.v3i4.1302

Abstract

Drawing attention to the production of diverse young adult literature is a political process that can negotiate and transform certain hegemonic devices of the cisheteropatriarchy. The novels Para Nina (2009), Los Chicos del Cementerio (2020), and the Anthology of trava/trans*/non-binary poetry (2019) are part of a narrative that serves as a critique of a constrictive dichotomous reality and offers its readers possibilities of being as well as of understanding sex and gender diversity. Thus, the representation of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations is a form of resistance, a tool to reinvent and transform the spaces of young adult literature.
