SUMMARY:The Sexual Representation Collection Lecture Series Presents: Juana
  María Rodríguez: The Amazing Past of Adela Vazquez
DESCRIPTION:This paper\, part of the new book project\, Puta Life\, Seeing 
 Latinas Working Sex\, centers on the life of Adela Vázquez\, a Cuban tran
 sgender activist living in San Francisco. Vázquez’s life story of being
  assigned male at birth in Cuba\, forming part of the Mariel boat lift\, a
 nd working as a sex worker in San Francisco is the subject of Sexile/Sexil
 io\, a bilingual graphic novel by Jaime Cortez\, as well as numerous other
  oral history projects. A colorful and complicated biographical subject\, 
 Vazquez’s modes of expression frequently confound and complicate the pol
 itical projects of queer Latinx representation. In this talk\, these vario
 us attempts at biographical narration will be juxtaposed with Vázquez’s
  self-representation within social media platforms such as Facebook\, wher
 e she maintains an active presence.\n\nThe talk will be held on February 2
 nd 2023 at 4:30pm in the Bissell building\, 140 St. George Street in Room 
 728. Register on Eventbrite to attend. Please email sexual.diversity@utoro
 nto.ca with any accessibility concerns.\n\nJuana María Rodríguez is a Pr
