- Abstract
In 1810: la revolución de mayo vivida por los negros, the Afro-Argentine Washington Cucurto (Quilmes, 1973-) renders a poignant x-ray of a racist, white supremacist Argentine society. Cucurto's sardonicism deconstructs the hypersexualization of the Black body in River Plate epistemology. Such deconstruction necessarily entails a critique of heteronormativity. We witness these strategies towards racial and sexual consciousness through a rewriting of the foundation of the Argentine nation and its heroes. By desacralizing Argentina's founding fathers and national symbols, imagining anti-patriotic characters and presenting sex as a device for racial liberation, Cucurto provides a reading of national history that is characterized by and opens itself up to markedly more inclusive and diverse perspectives.
