摘要:In most of the societies around the world the underrepresentation of transgender and queer people in thespatial structures creates a setting for their subordination and exploitation. Moreover, this socialdiscrimination is reflected in the queer spatial experiences, which are mostly restricted and prohibited,especially in the public spaces/sphere. Recognizing the marginalization and repression of the nonheteronormativequeer identities, the paper would like to read on the works of Pedro Lemebel (1952-2015),one of the most prolific writer within the context of the Chilean dictatorship (1973-1990) and postdictatorshipperiod and understand how his chronicles departs from the oppressed social space of/for queerpeople to stress on the subversive political strategies and spatial practices or what I call it here as ‘queering’,through which city space(s) could be re-signified by these non-heteronormative sexual and genderidentities as a site for their vindication and visibilization.
