Call for Papers:
Queer Chicana/o Cultural Production and "The" Community
Proposed panel for the annual meeting of
the American Studies Association,
"The World in American Studies/American Studies in the World,"
Detroit, MI, October 11-14, 2000
How do queer Chicana and Chicano artists and authors identify their
audiences and communities? How do they construct and perform queer
Chicana/o identities in Chicano spaces? in queer spaces? How do these
communities react to such cultural productions? Since the beginning of
the El Movimiento Chicano, Chicano art and literature has been linked
to--and often judged on its representation of--the issues and goals
"the" Chicano community. Similarly, the marketing of post-Stonewall
gay and lesbian cultural production has emphasized positive
representation of gay male and lesbian communities. In keeping with
ASA 2000's examination of the relationship between American Studies
and the "world outside," this panel will explore the diverse ways in
which contemporary Chicano cultural production by and about sexual
minorities represents, interacts with, and crosses diverse
communities.
