Este trabajo reflexiona sobre la potencialidad crítica encauzada en las prácticas poético-políticas del Grupo de Acción Gay, a principios de los ochenta en Buenos Aires, a partir del análisis de recursos discursivos y visuales materializados en sus diferentes plataformas comunicativas (volantes políticos, revistas, invitaciones a fiestas y banderas). En estos dispositivos de enunciación reconocemos tráficos, usos desviados y contaminaciones –que elegimos llamar montajes maricas–a los imaginarios heteronormados de la política, por un lado,y, por el otro, a los procesos de institucionalización del activismo gay de la posdictadura. ; This paper reflectson the critical potential of the poetic and political practices made by Grupo de Acción Gay, in the early eighties in Buenos Aires, from the analysis of discursive and visual resources materialized in their different communication platforms (political flyers, magazines, invitations and flags). In these sense, we recognize traffics, diverted uses and contaminations –montajes maricas–that criticize the heteronormative political imaginary and the processes of institutionalization of gay activism in the postdictatorship. ; Fil: Cuello, Nicolás.

This very timely, well-written and insightful exploration of gay identity and queer activism in the People's Republic of China today is more than a study of 'queer China' through the lens of male homosexuality; it also examines the PRC's socialist legacy and considers how the country is undergoing rapid transformations under the influence of transnational capitalism. Moreover, although the first of its kind from a cultural studies perspective, this interdisciplinary study speaks to scholars working in disparate fields and provides a sorely needed historical perspective on a very recent phenomenon: queer activism in China. Combining textual analysis of contemporary queer films, fiction and personal diaries, in conjunction with ethnographic research conducted in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou's urban gay communities, the book offers a queer Marxist analysis of sexual identity and social movements in contemporary China, where ideological negotiations between socialism and neoliberalism are constantly played out in the formation of public cultures and intimate spheres. Here, the book critically assesses the role of Marxism and China's socialist legacy in shaping sexual identity, queer popular culture and political activism. Apart from its rich data and incisive analysis, the book has a freshness and persuasiveness in approach and argument. The text is also pleasant and readable, with the author's intelligence, engagement and sunny humour shining through his writing.

In Solidarity: Friendship, Family, and Activism Beyond Gay and Straight shows what being an ally (in this case to LGBTQ+ persons and communities) requires, means, and does. Through prose, poetry, performance text, and film, the work takes readers inside relationships across sexual orientation and serves as an exemplar of activist scholarship. In Solidarity makes a unique and compelling contribution to courses on LGBTQ+ studies, sexualities, gender, identity, relationships, or the family.
