Chilean writer Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957), the first Latin American to win theNobel Prize for Literature, was a poetic idol for generations of Latin Americans who viewed her as Womanhood incarnate, the national schoolteacher-mother. How this distinctly masculine woman who never gave birth came to occupy this role, and what Mistral’s image, poetry, and life have to say about the relations-and realities-of race, gender, and sexual politics in her time, are the questions Licia Fiol-Matta pursues in this book, recreating the story of a woman whose misrepresentation is at least as intriguing, and as instructive, as her fame.A Queer Mother for the Nation weaves a nuanced understanding of how Mistral cooperated with authority and fashioned herself as the figure of Motherhood in collaboration with the state. Drawing on Mistral’s little-known political and social essays, her correspondence and photographs, Fiol-Matta reconstructs Mistral’s relationship to state politics. Her work questions the notion of queer bodies as outlaws, and insists on the many ways in which queer subjects have participated in and sustained the normative discourses they seem to rebel against

Licia Fiol-Matta traces the careers of four iconic Puerto Rican singers-Myrta Silva, Ruth FernÁndez, Ernestina Reyes, and Lucecita BenÍtez-to explore how their voices and performance style transform the possibilities for comprehending the figure of the woman singer. Fiol-Matta shows how these musicians, despite seemingly intractable demands to represent gender norms, exercised their artistic and political agency by challenging expectations of how they should look, sound, and act. Fiol-Matta also breaks with conceptualizations of the female pop voice as spontaneous and intuitive, interrogating the notion of "the great woman singer" to deploy her concept of the "thinking voice"-an event of music, voice, and listening that rewrites dominant narratives. Anchored in the work of Lacan, Foucault, and others, Fiol-Matta's theorization of voice and gender in The Great Woman Singer makes accessible the singing voice's conceptual dimensions while revealing a dynamic archive of Puerto Rican and Latin American popular music.

La masculinidad se fundó en la idea de que el cuerpo del hombre se correspondía con el lugar del original, era principio de la materia, constituía su primera piel. No obstante, esta no siempre fue percibida como statu quo del cuerpo. Dicha ilusión de naturaleza, la idea de que el hombre ocupa el lugar de cuerpo neutro o, incluso, la percepción de que su cuerpo es un componente implícito o del todo ausente en la idea de la masculinidad, forma parte de un grupo de operaciones performativas que ha necesitado tiempo para perpetrarse. Drag Kings: arqueología crítica de masculinidades espectaculares en Latinx América se propone discutir el porvenir del género en el espacio desigual, plural y contradictorio que hemos llamado Latinx América. Partiendo del drag king show y de lo que proponemos como masculinidad espectacular —aquella masculinidad hiperbólica que usurpa el espacio de privilegio y centralidad que se le otorga a la masculinidad del hombre—, planteamos una sistemática arqueología de la puesta en escena de las muchas masculinidades y su capacidad de generar crisis en el heterosexismo, máquina de producción de sentidos a la que se le ha encomendado la programación binaria del género.
