Panel: Modern Hispanic Queer Cultures (PAMLA 2025 Convention in San Francisco)
San Francisco, CA
Organization: PAMLA
Event: PAMLA 2025 Convention in San Francisco
This panel explores memory and oblivion as they relate to queer culture and literature of the modern Hispanic world. Focusing on Latin America, Spain, and the global Hispanophone in the eighteenth through twentieth centuries, the panel explores practices of remembrance, commemoration, censorship, and forgetting both in queer culture (i.e., as practiced by queer individuals and groups) and of queer culture (in a broader cultural ecosystem). How have queer people sought to memorialize their predecessors and bequeath their legacy to future generations? How have these practices interacted with more expansive societal forces that alternately commemorate, silence or marginalize queer culture? Papers exploring modern Hispanic queer cultures in connection with experiences of war, dictatorship, exile or migration are especially encouraged. The panel aims to explore an array of queer practices and identities that cut across lines of gender, sexuality, class, race, ethnicity, language or nationality. Submit proposals at:
