The poetry of Eduardo Espina and Nestor Perlongher is one of the most
transcendental of Hispanic neo-baroque, emerging in the eighties and persisting in the
new millennium as one of the most influential literary tendencies in the latest Latin-
American generations. This dissertation explores neo-baroque as defined by Omar
Calabrese: aesthetics of repetition; aesthetic of monstrosity; the importance of
imprecision; predominance of labyrinth within a preference for enigma, occult, or the
weight of nonlinearly reading of artistic fragmented texts and eroticism as defined by
Georges Bataille in the poetry of Espina and Nestor Perlongher. Both poets emphasize
the problematic figure of the transvestite and the homosexual transgressive subject and
propose a new perspective of linguistic artifice as an artistic and discursive technique
and employ eroticism as a mask that unveils the conventionality of the categories, which
govern the patriarchal, masculine-heterosexual Western civilization.
