The Shameless Cuir Cult: Ritual recreations based on performance

  • Hilda María Cristina Mazariegos Herrera

El objetivo de este ensayo es dar cuenta de una de las formas en las que creyentes feministas y lgbtq+, que pertenecen o fueron socializadxs en distintas tradiciones religioso-espirituales, primordialmente evangélicas, resimbolizan lo sagrado y lo político a través de la performance en el marco de lo que la agrupación Teología Sin Vergüenza llama Culto Cuir. Aborda temas como ancestralidad femenina, los bautizos trans, crítica a los ecosieg y libertad sexual, en un contexto de creciente conservadurismo antifeminista y antigénero.
