To celebrate this LGBTQ Latinx and POC milestone, Rebel Satori Press has reissued the book with brand new cover art featuring a photograph by Richard Renaldi that captures the spirit and defiance of the Christopher Street West Side Highway piers. As part of Sweety’s Radio: Edicion Especial we will be honoring the anniversary of this chapbook with an exhibition and reception. On Friday, July 14, Xavier will be joined by percussionist Joyce Jones to recreate the spirit of late 90s poetry readings from the book Pier Queen in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of this landmark collection by a former homeless pier queen who went on to become one of the most significant voices of the LGBT and Latinx poetry movements. Drawn from Xavier’s personal archives as well as artists in conversation with his work, the exhibition spans several bodies of work from throughout Xavier’s career; from videos, event flyers, fan notes, memorabilia from that era as well as photographs by Richard Renaldi and artwork by Gabriel Garcia Roman.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository BLUSHING TO BE: SHAME AND THE NARRATION OF SUBJECTIVITY IN CONTEMPORARY U.S.-CARIBBEAN FICTION María Celina Bortolotto A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Professor María DeGuzmán Professor Tanya Shields Professor Alice Kuzniar Professor Rosa Perelmuter Professor Rebecka Rutledge-Fisher © 2008 María Celina Bortolotto ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BLUSHING TO BE: Shame and the Narration of Subjectivity in Contemporary U.S.- Caribbean Fiction (Under the direction of Dr. María DeGuzmán and Dr. Tanya Shields) This study engages shame/affect (mostly psychoanalytical) theory in an interdisciplinary approach that traces narratives of resistance from “invisible” subjectivities within dominant U.S.- Caribbean discourses in contemporary fictional texts. It consists of an introduction, four chapters, and a conclusion. The introduction provides a precise theoretical background for the study. It defines key terms making a detailed reference to the prevailing discourses in the Caribbean and the U.S. The first chapter reveals examples in the fiction of the complex relationship between shame and visibility/invisibility as embodied in the figure of the secret/closet, in relation to prevailing identity discourses. The second chapter analyzes the relationship of shame with narcissistic and masochistic tendencies as presented in the fiction, evaluating the weight of narratives in the dynamics of such disorders.

About a year ago, with the millenium fast approaching, an informal call went out that we were compiling a selec- tion of recent writings by Puerto Ricans in the diaspora for publication in the Centro Journal. Far beyond expectations, we received submissions from nearly fifty writers. Most of them are young and unpublished, and many of them were unknown to us. Works poured in from many places, not just the Bronx, El Barrio and Loisaida in New York but also Springfield (Massachusetts), Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Madison (Wisconsin), among many other sites, including New Jersey and Connecticut. We were, of course, thrilled at the abundance and rich creativity of the present-day generation of Boricua writers, but at the same time overwhelmed at the prospect of trying to arrive at a selection that would fit in the allotted pages.

  • Queering Borders: Transantional Feminist Perspective on Global Heterosexism
    Wagadu, Journal of Transnational Women's and Gender Studies Special Issue 2014 QUEERING BORDERS: TRANSANTIONAL FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON GLOBAL HETEROSEXISM Editor, Kathryn Coffey Associate Professor of Health, Health Department at SUNY Cortland, Cortland New York Traditionally, transnational feminists have examined the fields of gender, sexuality and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) studies by critically addressing issues of colonialism, white supremacy, globalization, capitalism, and heterosexism. Like most fields within higher education, gender and sexuality studies, women’s studies, and LGBTQ studies are still dominated by white scholars; moreover these are predominately scholars from colonial 'western' cultures. In 2010 in the journal Pedagogy, Donald E. Hall asks the question: Can queer studies be taught across borders? Many universities and activist groups are arguing for a global queer community and movement for rights, protection, and freedoms for members of LGBTQ communities. From the academy to the streets, members of the LGBTQ community and their allies are challenging global heterosexism. This special issue of Wagadu is dedicated to an interdisciplinary, intersectional, multi-movement, and multi-dimensional critique of heterosexism, from a global social justice queer perspective. Outside of LGBTQ and ally communities and the world of Queer studies, the general public may understand sex, gender and sexuality as binary constructs: There are males and females, and males should be masculine and sexually attracted to females while © Wagadu 2014 ISSN: 1545-6196 2 Wagadu Volume 12 Summer 2014 females should be feminine and sexually attracted to males. Even within Queer studies, some scholars have chosen to hold on to the binary of gay and “straight” identity but over time, Queer studies has created an intentional shift from the binary to a more intentional fluidity within gender and orientation.

Is a bitch I used to date I write what I feel and I spit what I know I am the rose bloomed fresh in the midst of ghetto con- fusion I am ghetto angst personified I am a street poet — from “Street Poet” by GNO Poetry slams, competitive versions of local poetry readings, have emerged in the late 20th century as a literary-performative genre of protest and celebration. Although its roots are traced by poets from troubadours, griots, and the “dozens” (Algarín 1994:16), its 20th-century predecessors and most immediate influences include the Beat Movement, the Black Arts Movement, jazz, early rap, and hip- hop. The poetry slam as we know it today originated in the mid- 1980’s as the brainchild of Marc Smith, a Chicago poet and ex- 38 Text, Practice, Performance construction worker who wanted to liven up local poetry readings.

  • Shame, Narcissistic Masochism and Camp in Emanuel Xavier's Christ-Like
    Label Me Latina/o Fall 2013 Volume III 1 Just About Me: Shame, Narcissistic Masochism and Camp in Emanuel Xavier’s Christ-Like (1999) By María Celina Bortolotto Sometimes not caring is the only way to survive. -- Emanuel Xavier (Christ-Like, Rev. ed., 2009) Latino writer, poet, actor, and activist Emanuel Xavier’s first and only novel tells the semi-autobiographical tale of Miguel Álvarez, the son of a teen Ecuadorian girl and a Puerto Rican heartthrob who leaves her as soon as he finds out she is pregnant. The story of Miguel has many echoes of Emanuel’s own, including the description of both parents, the childhood sexual abuse inflicted by a family member, the escape from home to hustling in the streets, drug selling, and the security found under the protection of one of New York Ball Circuit’s “Houses.” This study focuses on Miguel, the novel’s main character, to explore the deep connections between shame, narcissism, and masochism as they appear depicted in Xavier’s novel, attempting to offer reflections that transcend the particular case study to encompass whole groups’ dynamics in their negotiations with the narratives in which they negotiate visibility and agency. Informed by films and research on the New York City House Ball Circuit,1 as well as on current theories on shame, this analysis focuses on some of the ways in which the author exposes the ferociously competitive atmosphere of the New York Circuit as the environment where many young Latinos construct identities and forge vital alliances, however ephemeral or dangerous these may turn out to be.
