Abstract

This research project aims to investigate, describe, and establish a preliminary critique about some recent phenomena of Portuguese culture and literature, whose main vectors articulate the social markers of difference with innovative aesthetic procedures. In parallel, it is also intended to determine if such production can yield what the proposer considers the emergence of a queer textuality.
