Resumen
CHAICHUMPORN, Premthara. Perspectivas de las (in)visibilidades del cuerpo queer heterosexual: el cuerpo travesti en la novela plástico cruel. La ventana [online]. 2018, vol.5, n.47, pp.39-66. ISSN 1405-9436.
This article aims to represent perspectives of the travesty body appropriation, due to the body normativity transgression and the duality of masculine and feminine identity. The notion of the travesty body is considered as denaturalized body, while the heteronormative body represents the natural gender because of the reproductive capacity from their naturalized body. In order to question the relationship between transvestitism and body, Plástico cruel (2011), the Argentine novel written by José Sbarra, represents the (in)visibilities of the body, which reinterpret the body dimensions of heterosexual and travesty characters in the consumer society, surrounded by the materialism and the body obsession.
Referring to the heterosexual normalized body and the travesty non-normative body, the concept able-bodiedness is appropiately applied to the heterosexuality. On the contrary, transvestites are labeled as unable body. The concept reinterpretation of “able-bodiedness” applied to heterosexual characters reveals that heteronormativity, in spite of their functional body, does not succeed in love and stable relationship.
