Resumen de Repensar els estudis catalans des de la teoria queer
Catalan Studies are basically focused on national/linguistic identity, but recent debate on Catalan identity triggered by the current pro-independent process in Catalonia, may help reshape this academic field. A more diverse approach to Catalan culture should consider sexuality, which has traditionally been banished from literar y analysis as a ‘private’ matter. Here, we discussed how queer theor y can reframe Catalan Studies mainly by building a specific LGBT literar y tradition, identifying queer episodes and characters in the canon, questioning received meanings, promoting interdisciplinary analysis of Catalan culture and exploring the role of queer subjectivity in history.
