„Somos travestis!" Sexual Diversity and Sexual Dissidence in Chile

Summary/Abstract: Drawing on Diego Céspedes’ film The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo, which focuses on Chilean travestis during the AIDS crisis, the author of the article seeks to rethink the status of queer culture in Chile and to shed light on travesti identity as both an individual and political category specific to Latin America.
