[Maria Amelia Viteri]

Dear Fellow Ecuatorianistas,


I am pleased to announce the publication of “Cuir/Queer Américas:
Translation, Decoloniality, and the Incommensurable,” a special issue of *GLQ:
A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies* (27:3), edited by Joseph M. Pierce,
Diego Falconí Trávez, Salvador Vidal-Ortiz, Lourdes Martínez-Echazábal, and
I.  Esta edición (Scopus) cuenta con publicaciones tripartitas en tres
idiomas (Español, Portugués e Inglés) y en tres Revistas académicas:  GLQ,
Periódicus y El Lugar sin Límites, orientadas a abordar las desigualdades
en la producción de conocimiento.



Contributors to this special issue question translation and its politics of
“invisibilizing” certain bodies and geographies, shedding light on queer
and cuir histories that have confronted the imperial gaze or remained
untranslatable. Bringing together bodies and forms of knowledge that have
been excluded from queer studies as it has been consolidated in
universities in the US and Europe, the authors ask if particular regional
or national (or diasporic) traditions have privileged certain queer/cuir
texts in Latin America and the Caribbean.



Contributors to the GLQ issue are Mayra Bottaro, Nicola Chávez Courtright,
Ochy Curiel, Jennifer DeClue, Dana Galán / David Aruquipa, Germán Garrido,
John Michael Hughson, Tiffany Lethabo King, Christina A. León, Juliana
Martínez, Lourdes Martínez-Echazábal, Tavia Nyong'o, Alpesh Kantilal Patel,
Rocío Pichon-Rivière, Joseph M. Pierce, Duen Sacchi, Raquel Salas Rivera,
Susy Shock, Diego Falconí Trávez, Salvador Vidal-Ortiz, María Amelia
Viteri, and Marlene Wayar.
