Keywords:
Consumerism, Visibility, Marginalization, Queer Studies, Urban StudiesAbstract
This essay pretends to analyze the topics of visibility and tolerance related to homosexuality in Luis Zapata’s El vampiro de la Colonia Roma (1981), Carlos Monsiváis Apocalipstick (2009), and Ángel Lozada’s No quiero quedarme sola y vacía (2006) linked to the success and failure of the neoliberal mercantilist system, the urban transformations of the neighborhoods where the stories take place (Mexico City and New York City) and the consequences carried out in the process at the end of 20th century and beginnings of 21th century.
