Representation of trans identity in POSE and Las Malas
Keywords:
Trans women, Performativity, Heterosexual matrix, Gender, IdentityAbstract
The following presentation will focus on the analysis of the audiovisual series POSE (2018) and the novel Las Malas (2019) by Camila Sosa Villada. In both cultural objects, experiences around trans identities are represented. Starting from the studies on performativity by Judith Butler and the theory of affects by Sara Ahmed, we will analyze how the identity construction is represented. We recognize the importance of affects and performativity in the constitution of both individual and collective identity in both objects, but the construction is very different and generates different notions.
