O knihe

A volume in Research in Queer Studies
Series Editors Paul Chamness Miller and Hidehiro Endo,
Akita International University
The book examines the links between literature and film in Latin America by using queer theory
and a series of recent cultural productions whose arguments destabilize traditional gender roles and
heteronormative masculinity. For many years, the connections between a literary text and its film
adaptation have been considered only from the point of view of the latter's fidelity to the written
work, which many scholars imagined to be the original that filmmakers needed to respect. Within the last two decades, however, the
idea of adaptation fidelity has been challenged by a number of critics who refute the existence of an original text and promote the notion
of an ambiguous and complex relationship between a literary work and its film adaptation. Based on such developments and with the
help of queer theory, this book questions and revises several crucial theoretical approximations that analyze the relations between the
two art forms in an attempt to overcome the limitations of fidelity discourse. This is the first book-length study that seeks to examine,
with the appropriate detail, the connections between film and literature in Latin America through the lenses of queer theory and by
focusing on the representations of numerous practices that do not fit within the general framework of heteronormative sexuality.
