Abstract

This article aims to present the developments of Queer Linguistics (LQ) and examine its potentialities in the study of the representation of sexual and gender minorities in the Spanish-speaking Latin American media industry. In particular, these potentialities are based on relating the LQ with critical studies of disability. To achieve this objective, a case study of the representation of a disabled trans woman in the Colombian written and audiovisual press is presented. The analysis shows that the press individualizes the becoming trans disabled and hides the causes, the agents, the discrimination and the precariousness that produce the weakening of these subjectivities. In this way, an intersectional, critical and decolonial queer linguistics is proposed that contributes to the study of the discursive construction of cisheteronormativity and its intersectionalities, especially those that are articulated with corporality and disability.
