Description
How have different feminist and queer scholars working on Latin America, the Caribbean, and the U.S. used the word transloca to discuss intersections of transnational/translocal experience and loca (mad woman, effeminate homosexual, drag queen, trans) subjectivity or performance? Larry La Fountain traces his own theorizations in relation to this term as they pertain to Puerto Rican drag and trans performance and activism.
