Francisco J. Galarte and Sandra Soto close out the presentations with their experimental dialogue: “Anzaldúa’s Queer Worldbuilding: A Conversation on Femmes, Marimach@s and the Sexual Borderlands.” Re-animating the butch/femme conversation/dance by Cherríe Moraga and Amber Hollibaugh in “What We’re Rollin’ around in Bed With” (1981), Galarte and Soto perform a vibrant Chican@ queer inter-textual, inter-generational, cross-temporal conversation with Anzaldúa’s fiction as the motor. Focusing on her “minor” works (some unpublished), they explore her unseen/forgotten/unspoken contributions to queer theory, transgender studies, and Latin@ studies, particularly around pain, pleasure, region, embodiment, fantasy, imaginaries, nepantla, marimacho, mita’ y mita’, and patlache.”
