Romancero Books with the support of the Office for Cultural and Scientific Affairs of the Spanish Embassy in London and AC/E Programme for the Internalisation of Spanish Culture presents the III Festival of Queer Literature in Spanish in London - FQLSL
Lecture: Cruising Torremolinos: Bodies, territory and memory with Dr. in Art History Javier Cuevas del Barrio
Cruising Torremolinos: Bodies, territory and memory
In Cruising Torremolinos, the construction of a queer genealogy of Torremolinos/Málaga from the 1960s to the present has been proposed from an interdisciplinary methodological approach that includes the disciplines of the history of art and architecture, history, history of cinema, artistic practices, visual culture studies and translation. This collective book that we present pivots around a central idea: the leading role that Torremolinos developed in the 1960s and 1970s, firstly as a destination for the LGBT/queer community during the dictatorship, secondly as one of the spaces in which repression worked after the approval of the LPRS as demonstrated by the events of the great raid (1971) and, thirdly, as one of the first places in the Spanish state where the homosexual liberation movement (UDH in January 1977) was founded, months before the first demonstration in Barcelona (June 1977). Javier Cuevas del Barrio & Ángelo Néstore are the editors.
