Queering acts of mourning in the aftermath of Argentina's dictatorship : the performances of blood / Cecilia Sosa.

• Paradoxes of blood : from the Madres' queer mourning to the Kirchnerist era -- Black humour and the children of the disappeared -- Undoing the cult of the victim : Los rubios, M and La mujer sin cabeza -- The cooking mother : Hebe de Bonafini and the conversion of the former ESMA -- The attire of (post- )memory : Mi vida después -- Kinship, loss and political heritage : Los topos and Kirchner's death -- Conclusion : The recovery of the house.

• "The aftermath of Argentina's last dictatorship (1976-1983) has traditionally been associated with narratives of suffering, which recall the loss of the 30,000 civilians infamously known as the "disappeared." When democracy was recovered, the unspoken rule was that only those related by blood to the missing were entiteld to ask for justice. This book both queries and queers this bloodline normativity. Drawing on queer theory and performance studies, it develops an alternative framework for understanding the affective transmission of trauma beyond traditional family settings. To do so, it introduces an archive of non-normative acts of mourning that runs across different generations. Through the analysis of a broad spectrum of performances--including interviews, memoirs, cooking sessions, films, jokes, theatrical productions and literature--the book shows how the experience of loss has not only produced a well-known imaginary of suffering but also new forms of collective pleasure"--Back cover.
