Cherry Grove Gay, Identidad y Representación, Identidad Lésbica, Esther NewtonResumen
El artículo ilumina el universo de Cherry Grove, una comunidad de gays y lesbianas en Fire Island, rastreando sus dinámicas de poder y representación. Esther Newton examina la elección de una lesbiana como reina del baile (evento tradicional de la comunidad), cuyo rol está convencionalmente reservado para un hombre gay en drag, según una regla tácita. La elección de Joan Van Ness desestabiliza esta convención y desencadena reflexiones sobre identidad, género y poder. Al analizar las reacciones de la comunidad y las implicaciones de este acto simbólico, Newton matiza las complejas interacciones entre diferentes grupos, destacando las tensiones y alianzas que configuran las relaciones sociales en este contexto.
