Baroque Sovereignty
In the seventeenth century, even as the Spanish Habsburg monarchy entered its irreversible decline, the capital of its most important overseas territory was flourishing. Nexus of both Atlantic and Pacific trade routes and home to an ethnically diverse population, Mexico City produced a distinctive Baroque culture that combined local and European influences. In this context, the American-born descendants of European immigrants—or creoles, as they called themselves—began to envision a new society beyond the terms of Spanish imperialism, and the writings of the Mexican polymath Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora (1645-1700) were instrumental in this process.

Wet Land
Poetry. LGBT Studies. Latino/Latina Studies. "Lucas de Lima's stunning book affected me so profoundly at all the stages of reading it, encountering it before it was a book and afterwards, when it was. In the work of this extraordinary writer, the fragment is not an activity of form. It's an activity of evisceration."

The alien life- force that drives planetary evolution? A primal being raises itself from the swamp of human consciousness, animated by the archaic and archetypal Sobek, the Egyptian god in crocodile form. The two voices that alternate in this narrative of trauma the quotidian voice of the poet and a ritual voice of invocation queer the story in the most profound way. Together with de Lima we call forth the god who will transform the narrative. As queers, we are the incarnation of countless shamans, medicine men, magicians and priests. The poet places himself in this tradition through his invocation." AA Bronson"

Es una cultura escrita que no estaba parcelada en géneros, pues resultaba sumamente difusa la línea que separaba el discurso político de la historia; la historia de la literatura; la literatura del periodismo; el periodismo de la hoja volante, y la hoja volante del discurso político. Tampoco estaba parcelada en autores, pues unos y otros escribían en diferentes medios y con diferentes estilos. Además, la pluma se sumó al sable en la construcci...
