Abstract

Este articulo comienza conceptualizando los enfoques de Anzaldua (y otros/as pensadores/as) sobre poesía, “queerness”, identidad y diferencia desde “Borderlands” (1987) hasta obras posteriores. La segunda parte examina sus ideas sobre “new tribalism”, la mayoría de las cuales aparecieron en “Interviews/Entrevistas” (2000), “This Bridge We Call Home” (2002), “The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader” (2009) y “Light in the Dark” (2015). Ambas secciones también describen los posibles diálogos entre su poesía y su prosa. La tercera parte lleva las conexiones dialógicas más allá, poniendo a Anzaldua en lo que llamo un eco-dialogo afectivo con las feministas contemporáneas. La tesis del artículo es que la forma queer de sentir-pensar-ser de Anzaldua marco el estilo, los temas y los objetivos de su obra; además, dada su capacidad para ir más allá de las oposiciones binarias mediante la articulación de la diferencia de una manera afectiva, dialógica y ecofeminista, Anzaldua debe considerarse una filosofa posthumanista.
