AMICOLA, José. Marosa di Giorgio´s queer genre. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2013, vol.14, n.2, pp.153-165. ISSN 1852-9615.

Taking theoretical distinctions about prose and lyric texts as point of departure, my contention will be that there is an intention to narrate that Marosa di Giorgio´s (1934-2004) texts betray and honor at the same time. This instable position is also the product of a second layer on the text: the recitative instance. With an approach systematized by the Tartu School, I will show the Equivalence Principle as a token to recognize the poetical basis of one queer text from Marosa di Giorgio´s Camino de las pedrerías [The Way of the Precious Stones], 1997), where the apparition of ubiquitous flowers in the texts of the Uruguayan author will serve as mark of the Equivalence Principle. The genre that she invents is, in my opinion, the Form that announces the new Content: the new space for a queer sexuality which is not only an obscene but also a heretical gender event. This profanation of the religious tradition is here a parody of mystical texts. Sex appears then as a nomad and fluid stream, like the liquids of the woman' s body in all her writings. The fluency of the prose text corresponds with the fluidity of the thematic elements.

Palabras clave : Queer; Sexuality; Flowers; Equivalence; Fluid.
