Terapias de conversión en Ecuador: el testimonio literario como forma heteromaricagénea contradictoria de interpelación al derecho
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: Law and Literature studies enable the construction of a critical space, which aims to build dialogic bridges, as well as interpellations in each discipline. From a perspective linked to Human Rights we use literary testimony, a scriptural genre that is part of heterogeneous and contradictory literatures (Cornejo Polar), to analyze how legal and literary discourses on sexual diversity and sexual dissidence in Ecuador, give account of violations of fundamental rights. Through the testimonies of sexually diverse and sexually dissident individuals (writings that become contradictory heterofaggeneous literatures) conversion therapies, in the so-called dehomosexualization clinics, will be analyzed. This will allow us to understand a very particular form of violence and recreate a memory of violence and resistance that seeks the reparation of certain individuals and groups historically discriminated.
