Resumo: Through a (at times implicit) dialogue with critical texts that problematize Latin American and Latino identitary constructions as being fluid, this essay analyzes representations of American (understood here in its more ample sense) border identities, or identities in transit, in the work of two intellectuals who opt for identifying themselves as both Latin American exiles and Latinos: performatic authors/actors Guillermo Gómez-Peña, a self-proclaimed "Chicano-ized Mexican"; and Argentine Canadian Guillermo Verdecchia. I wish to argue that Latino as a category serves the political purposes of these artists, in whose performances "identify" is a form of identification informed by a vast repertoire of "americanness", and by constant processes of negotiation.

Buscarei argumentar, ao longo deste trabalho, que a categoria Latino serve aos propósitos políticos dos artistas, em cujas performances "identidade" e uma forma de identificação informada por um vasto repertório de americanidades múltiplas, e em constante negociação.Universidade Federal Fluminense2005-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33320Gragoatá; Vol. 9 No. 17 (2004): Boundaries and displacementsGragoatá; v. 9 n. 17 (2004): Fronteiras e deslocamentos2358-41141413-9073reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33320/19307Copyright (c) 2019 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTorres, Sonia2020-08-18T23:23:29Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33320Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2020-08-18T23:23:29Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
