Abstract:I argue that the renowned Chicano poet Andrés Montoya (1968–1999) is a mystic poet. Lyrically on par with Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Teresa of Avila, Rumi, and Meister Eckhart, Montoya’s mystic poetic expression develops and is portrayed via the intelligent, communicative body (the soma); the same entity that simultaneously expresses the weight of social chains in which his poetic speaker and his community are ensconced. I argue that Montoya’s poetic subject is a communal soma, biblical with the force of Divine Sophia and the Mayan principle of In Lak’ech. Montoya crystallizes a decolonizing poetic subjectivity of a collective spiritual aspirant inspired by Chicanx liberation theology. I argue that Montoya’s collection the ice worker sings and other poems is a spiritual journey of the soma, of a collective Chicano homo sacer evolving his mystic communion with God.

Abstract:This essay theorizes the apocalyptic in three recent Latina gothic fictions. Zombie mushrooms are at the heart of the Doyle family heteropatriarchal colonial enterprise in Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s Mexican Gothic. The rabies virus is weaponized as a justification for militarized control of East LA—and in particular over the bodies of young Chicanas—at the height of the Chicano Movement in Helena Maria Viramontes’s Their Dogs Came with Them. A viral apocalypse drives Carmen Maria Machado’s short story “Inventory” forward across sexual and other forms of queer intimacy, leaving the narrator to wonder whether the world will spin faster without people on it. While in each of these instances tropes of contagion represent a threat against human life, viruses and mushrooms are also perfect articulations of liminality—neither clearly animal nor plant, troubling taxonomic common sense, threatening contagion and annihilation. They are biological analogues to both the wild and emancipatory queer and Chicana feminist borderlands imagined by poets and scholars alike, and this essay speculates on their theoretical possibilities as tropes of destruction and creation. The viral and the fungal represent a biotechnology of transformation that decenters liberal humanism and promises moments of apocalyptic emergence of a queer, Latina utopia.
摘要:本文对近代三部拉丁哥特小说中的末世论进行了理论分析。在西尔维亚·莫雷诺-加西亚的《墨西哥哥特式》中，僵尸蘑菇是道尔家族异族殖民事业的核心。在海伦娜·玛丽亚·维拉蒙特斯的《他们的狗跟着他们》中，在奇卡诺人运动的高潮时期，狂犬病毒被武器化，作为对洛杉矶东部进行军事控制的理由，尤其是对年轻的奇卡诺人的身体进行军事控制。卡门·玛丽亚·马查多(Carmen Maria Machado)的短篇小说《库存》(Inventory)在病毒式的天启中，跨越了性和其他形式的酷儿亲密关系，让叙述者怀疑，如果没有人类，世界是否会转得更快。虽然在这些例子中，传染的比喻都代表着对人类生命的威胁，但病毒和蘑菇也是极限的完美表达——既不是动物也不是植物，令人不安的分类学常识，威胁着传染和灭绝。它们在生物学上类似于诗人和学者所想象的狂野和解放的酷儿和墨西哥女权主义的边缘地带，本文推测了它们作为破坏和创造的比喻的理论可能性。病毒和真菌代表了一种转化的生物技术，它使自由人文主义偏离了中心，并预示着一个同性恋、拉丁乌托邦的末日来临。
