Description
- Abstract:
- This thesis locates the corporeal, (homo)erotic, temporal, and transnational tensions that give shape to a spectral presence in the works of three Latin American Neo-Baroque writers: Osvaldo Lamborghini, Severo Sarduy, and Nestor Perlonger. Through a critical hauntological framework, I identify a series of bodily and temporal movements--such as Sigmund Freud’s Verneinung, what David Wills deems the dorsal turn, Sarduy’s spiral, and Perlongher’s soliciting of the yiro callejero--to compare how these writers' encounters with spectral bodies and borders lay bare a queer, transgressive "time out of joint."
