This dissertation titled Queer heterotopias: Online and offline Communities and Civic Engagement in Chile and Spain delves into the concept of heterotopia, coined by Michel Foucault, as a framework for analyzing representations of LGBTQ+ identities in digital culture and contemporary literature. Located at the intersection of cultural studies, gender studies, and queer theory this research project examines, literary works, fanfictions (derivative literature), and YouTube content are examined. In particular, El lugar sin límites by José Donoso, Los alegres muchachos de Atzavara by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, the fanfictions Contrato Taejin by EowynWhite97 and Blanco, Rojo, Negro by Ela, and the YouTube channels Devermut (Marta Cillán and Sara Giménez) and Francesc Morales are analyzed. The dissertation proposes that these spaces and forms of expression function as queer heterotopias, challenging gender norms and repression, while validating the experiences and existences of LGBTQ+ individuals. It is argued that these queer heterotopias emerge in this transnational environment, challenging existing power structures and gender norms, while maintaining ties with their national contexts. The research highlights that these representations, by fostering resistance and inclusion, contribute to the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community, promoting resilient visibility and representation in a world that can often be hostile and exclusive.
