Can we talk about a Spanish Queer art?

Abstract

Until the 1990s, the Spanish artistic and theoretical gender-related production was almost nonexistent. However, it is from that decade on when feminism begins to develop and spread within the borders of the country, and it is also at this time when the Queer theory takes its rsts steps. These studies have developed in such a fast way in just over 20 years, that, already in 2000, we can nd some theorists and artists who are recognized in the international context. This paper re ects on one of the consequences resulting of the celerity of this process and thus whether or not it makes sense to talk about a Spanish Queer Art.
