Tracing the configuration of the slapstick, destitute Peladita/Peladito and the Pachuca/Pachuco (depicted in flashy zoot suits) from 1928 to 2004, Wild Tongues is an ambitious, extensive examination of social order in Mexican and Chicana/o cultural productions in literature, theater, film, music, and performance art. From the use of the Peladita and the Peladito as stock characters who criticized various aspects of the Mexican government in the 1920s and 1930s to contemporary performance art by María Elena Gaitán and Dan Guerrero, which yields a feminist and queer-studies interpretation, Rita Urquijo-Ruiz emphasizes the transnational capitalism at play in these comic voices.

Los síntomas actuales, las diversas sexualidades, las nuevas constelaciones familiares, la intervención de la ciencia en los asuntos privados, las redes, las pantallas, los consumos, youtubers devenidos líderes, las infancias y el empuje a definirse, violencias y femicidios, están encarnados por sujetos que no esperan al psicoanalista para gozar (cada quien a su modo), pero lo encontrarán, en el mejor de los casos, para alojarlos cuando lo que no anda devenga pregunta. Nuestra sociedad, nuestras calles, gritan por ni una menos, por el debate sobre la ley del aborto y por el lugar de las mujeres en los trabajos, sin embargo, como sostiene Miller, el goce es rebelde a toda universalización, tal como lo queer, subraya. Los analistas, interpelados en nuestro no tener todas las respuestas, inventamos espacios para pensar las presentaciones clínicas actuales, diseñar nuevos dispositivos y abordar el trabajo entre muchos, a la vez que entendemos, con Lacan que es crucial no teorizar la sexualidad en términos de género, sino en términos de goce, siempre singular, siempre uno por uno.
