Abstract

Abstract : This study develops an intersectional analysis of queer metronormativity in three Latin American films, namely Madame Sat (dir. Karim Ainouz), XXY (dir. Luca Puenzo), and Pelo Malo (dir. Mariana Rondn). The study aims at translating the concept of metronormativity to the Latin American context through the analysis of the (re)production of what is understood as a metronormative narrative. For that, I tackle the relationship between queerness, developmentalism, the coloniality of power, and the rhetoric of Modernity towards the decolonization of metronormativity as a universalized discourse. The analyses performed indicate that metronormativity is (re)produced as the coloniality of power remains a sustaining element of contemporary power hierarchies and of the cultural differential ascribed to discursive spaces delineated by metronormative discourses. The analyses also show that metronormative queerness constructs legibility, closure, and salvation upon the gentrification of universalized models within the developmentalist paradigm. ; Este estudo desenvolve uma anlise interseccional da metronormatividade queer em trs filmes Latinoamericanos, sendo eles Madame Sat(dir. Karim Ainouz), XXY (dir. Luca Puenzo), e Pelo Malo (dir. Mariana Rondn. O trabalho tem por objetivo traduzir o conceito de metronormatividade ao contexto Latinoamericano atravs da anlise da (re)produo do que compreendido como narrativa metronormativa. Este estudo aborda o relacionamento entre o ser queer e o desenvolvimentismo, a colonialidade do poder, e a retrica da Modernidade, tendo em vista a decolonizao da metronormatividade como discurso universalizado. As anlises realizadas indicam que a metronormatividade (re)poroduzida medida que a colonialidade do poder permanece sendo elemento de sustentao das hierarquias de poder contemporneas e do diferencial cultural atribudo a espaos discursivos delineados pelos discursos metronormativos. As anlises tambm mostram que a metronormatividade queer constri legibilidade, fechamento narrativo, e salvao sobre a gentrificao de modelos universalizados dentro do paradigma desenvolvimentista.Advisors/Committee Members: vila, Eliana de Souza (advisor).
