• W1873253 abstract "The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine. A song by War on their 1979 album, The World Is a Ghetto [S]ome of the most interesting deployments of queer/queerness ate related to the word's ability to describe those complex circumstances in texts, spectators, and production that resist easy categorization, but that definitively escape of den the heteronormative. Doty, Flaming Classics 7 INTRODUCTION In 1889, less than ten years before the U.S. takeover of Cuba, Jose Marti found it necessary to answer, in the pages of the March 25, 1889, Saturday Evening Post, a column in the March 6, 1889, issue of the Manufacturer of Philadelphia, apparently signed by several prominent Republicans regarding the character of the Cuban people (Bejel 11). Although there are a number of, as Marti characterizes them, injurious criticisms of the Cubans, none is more stinging than the notion that the Cubans are effeminate. Marti defends his fellow countrymen against this charge by citing their resistance in the face of the hostile government of Spain and their efforts to gain independence, precisely part of the spectrum of reasons that motivated the American invasion in 1898. This exchange, which is characterized in detail by Bejel (10-27), was related directly both to the growing debate in the United States at the time over the value of Cuba--the Manufacturer column is entitled Do We Want Cuba?--and, after 1898, the matter of whether Cuba should become a permanent part of the United States. While Perez, in The War of 1898, avoids dealing with what was clearly, to Marti (and to the inquiring Republicans), unquestionably a pressing matter, it is symptomatic of this sort of debate that nowhere is the matter of usefully defined. The fact of the apposition of the word to the Cubans and, throughout the history of U.S./Latin American relations, to Latins in general, makes it even more pressing to inquire into its semantic nonspecificity. (1) Moreover, the attribution of effeminacy to the Latin man works in tandem with the inverse proposition that he is oversexed, a macho with dangerous levels of testosterone poisoning and, therefore, always to be feared for his potential violence and as a potential rapist. One assumes that the term is being used in the sense of the definitions provided by a classic source like the second edition of Webster's New International Dictionary: Womanish quality unbecoming a man, such as softness, delicacy, or weakness (1956 edition; orig. 1909). One could also do a minute tracking of its use over the centuries in the English language in the Oxford English Dictionary. However, none of the prevalent uses of the terms in the nineteenth century and most of the twentieth century is useful in sorting out exactly what is supposedly covered by the term and precisely why there is allegedly a problem with effeminacy. That is, how does the word effeminate function as a word to describe not that which can be expressed via a chain of synonyms with a common core of semantic meaning, but as a code word used to evoke mostly that which is not convenient to state clearly, both for presumably conscious reasons of decorum and likely unconscious reasons of semantic incoherence? Thus, initially it becomes imperative to attempt to factor out some of the contradictory meanings of the term. Certainly the matter cannot simply be its function as a descriptor of a man who, for some reason or another and to one degree or another, adopts the tertiary sex characteristics of those social subjects accepted, in an unanalyzed fashion, to be women. Such tertiary sex characteristics refer to features of voice, physical bearing, dress, and language (some features of grammar, but mostly the use of lexical items and, definitely, the inappropriate use of pronouns and predication). These major features constitute a cluster of visible traces that allow for the observer--specifically, the observer with a vested interest in the semiotics of the body, such as the agents of nineteenth-century public hygiene who came to work in tandem with the guardians of religious morality--to identify a specific social subject as marked by effeminacy. …" @default.
