UNA NUEVA RELACIÓN ENTRE LOS CUERPOS Y SU REPRESENTACIÓN FICCIONAL EN TRES NOVELAS ARGENTINAS DE LOS 90

Abstract

In the 1990s, a new relationship emerged between the market, gender and sex, and –by extension—between bodies and their representation in fiction. For example, both on television and literature homosexual characters come out of the closet and stop being caricatures. This article attempts to show how this new relationship is expressed through the literary handling of the male sex worker in Nombre de guerra of Claudio Zeiger (1999), same-sex parenting in Y un díaNico se fueof Osvaldo Bazán (1999), and the HIV-positive character in Un año sin amor. Diario del SIDA of Pablo Pérez (1998).
