Representación del personaje sexodiverso en la dramaturgia mexicana

Abstract

This is an analysis of the representation of the gay-lesbian theme, as well as the portrayal of non-heteronormative characters (including lesbians, homosexuals and gays) in Mexican dramatic literature. The article examines various publications, including a text from the eighteenth century, another from the nineteenth century, and various representative selections of dramaturgy from the twentieth century. These selected texts of Mexican dramaturgy offer a wide variety of representations of “sexodivirsity,” which sometimes affirm stereotypes and at other times offer new representations of sexual identity. In the latter group, that of new sexual representations, sexual identity sometimes seems to lose its importance or its efficiency as an identifying sign, while in other texts it recovers the status of the core dramatic element.
