摘要
The essay discusses how an analysis of the gendered practices of Brazilian transgendered prostitutes (travestis) can illuminate the ways in which gender in Latin America is bound up with sexuality. The article suggests that the particular configurations of sex, gender, and sexuality in Brazil and other Latin American societies differ importantly from the dominant configurations in northern Europe and North America and generate different arrangements of gender, consisting not of men and women, but of men and not-men.
