The queer body in Cobra

My curiosity about issues related to corporeality and gender goes back a long way. I could not trace the beginnings of that interest exactly, but I know that during my time at the University that curiosity has been present and has manifested itself in literary tastes, points of view and re-readings of different texts and literature itself. Having taken classes such as Latin American Criticism and Latin American Literature, I was able to see that written artistic expressions can take infinite forms, that literature is not one and that Latin American literature, precisely from its difference, is capable of integrating the most dissimilar voices and sources and thus writes its own history. This led to a greater awareness of Latin American literature and an interest in it that led me to seek out possibilities for study.
