This book, written by Juan Vicente Aliaga and José Miguel G. Cortés, explores gay culture in Spain. Through critical analysis, it examines the reality of the Spanish homosexual community, tracing images and texts produced in recent years. It delves into gay culture, addressing behaviors, attitudes, sexual relations, and the sense of community, considering the diversity of identities in a contradictory country. In addition, it offers a critique of machismo, misogyny, and homophobia, and analyzes the impact of AIDS on the Spanish gay community.
Juan Vicente Aliaga is a Spanish art critic who has written widely on contemporary conceptual art as well as on gender and queer theory. In his pioneer 1997 book Identidad y diferencia: sobre la cultura gay en España, co-authored with José Miguel G. Cortés, he expressed criticism of the assimilationist strategies of mainstream LGBT+ associations in Spain, advocating instead for a politics of difference and the reappropriation of slurs like "marica" and "maricón", similarly to what happened with "queer" in English-speaking countries.
