SANCHEZ, Javier  y  BIELETTO-BUENO, Natalia. Configurations of masculinities in the Huapanguero Merequetengue dance, in the State of Guanajuato: A queer approach through autoethnography. Rev. interdiscip. estud. género Col. Méx. [online]. 2019, vol.5, e419.  Epub 15-Feb-2020. ISSN 2395-9185.  https://doi.org/10.24201/reg.v5i0.419.

This study analyzes the participation of men and their performance of masculinity in the social practice of dancing Huapanguero merequetengue, in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. Through a “dense description” I identify three different models of masculinity as performed by dancers through bodily conducts. In the second section, I use the (auto)ethnographic method to present a queer interpretation of socio-affective dynamics developed in and through the dance in the huapango merequetengue.

Finally, we debate the importance of a queer perspective in highlighting the role of subjectivity in research.

Palabras llave : gender studies; ethnomusicology; masculinities; queer studies; autoethnography.
