Abstract

This article performs a socio-critical analysis of the short story “Sergio el bailador” by Antonio Santos, addressing the construction of cultural memory and its relationship with homosexual identity. Through the study of the discourses present in the narrative, especially those inscribed in the notebook of memories of the main character, it is examined how the identity elements of the gay subject are configured and diluted in a specific social context. The analysis highlights the intertextuality, the weight of cultural stigmas and the role of oblivion in the dismemory of the homosexual discourse.
