The radical right, and the sexual dissident as a scapegoat (or ally, when appropriate). The case of “Seis tetas” by Camila Sosa Villada

Abstract

The 21st century is witnessing the rise of the extreme right or radical right. Not only is it a European phenomenon, which strictly follows the precepts of fascism of the 30s or 40s of the previous century, but we are faced with political formations that proliferate throughout the world and that develop their own features depending on the contexts. particulars in which they appear. One of these features, which is not homogeneous in the different national far-right, is related to its relationship with sexual dissident groups. Although the exclusion and persecution of these groups in the agendas of all these rights is no longer unanimous, the truth is that in most of these political formations violence against these groups of sexual diversity continues to be promoted, as is the case in Italy. , Poland, Hungary or Latin America. It can even be said that the figure of the dissident serves as a kind of scapegoat to attract popular favor. The objective of the following article is to analyze the emergence of the extreme right, its rise to power, its political nature and the relationship it establishes with LGTBIQ+ groups. Likewise, we also want to study the role that the population plays in these acts of discrimination, homophobia and violence in general. In a second part, these problems are analyzed based on “Seis tetas”, a shortstory that is part of Soy una tonta por quererte (2022), a book of short stories by the Argentine transvestite writer Camila Sosa Villada.
