GONZALEZ CUETO, Danny Armando. Recording the party: LGBTI audiovisual culture in Barranquilla. memorias [online]. 2022, n.46, pp.81-107.  Epub 30-Abr-2022. ISSN 1794-8886.  https://doi.org/10.14482/memor.46.306.766.

This article analyzes, based on an audiovisual corpus selected by the author, the reality of transvestite, crossdresser and drag queens practices in the Barranquilla Carnival, which now, thanks to a changing political board, seem to enjoy acceptance. The research focuses on the way in which transvestite audiovisual contents question and/or put in tension the concept of heritage, tradition, valorization and the Safeguarding Plan of the Barranquilla Carnival. These practices are currently part of the visual/audiovisual map of the carnivals, becoming in the years 2000 and 2010 a marked trend that gives the greatest attraction to these popular festivities.

Although its history is marked by discrimination and invisibilization, the LGBTI collective has managed through carnival to find a way to counteract what seemed impossible. However, ensuring that LGBTI artists, actors, entrepreneurs and managers enjoy total acceptance in the carnival is more complex than one might think. The research methodology consisted in conducting interviews with representatives of the LGBTI collective related to popular festivities, in addition to the review, selection and analysis of a sample of audiovisual, photographic and press content, through which the studies of these practices and their evolution were deepened. In this article the author focuses only on audiovisual culture and press material, the latter running transversally to audiovisual content. As a result, a diversity of views enriched the discussion and its importance for Caribbean studies and regional culture.
