Abstract

  • It is said Basque short-story-writing to be recently increasing as a narrative
    gender. Likewise, hegemonic sexuality and gender dissents, that is to say, the
    LGTBI+ community, is more accepted and common in our society. Thus, this
    research aims at yoking both subjects under examination. We will be analysing a
    small sample of short-stories written in Basque language form the latest decades,
    and we will see how are treated homosexual –gays and lesbians– characters in
    those. Briefly, this paper will analyse sexuality-topics proposed in literary re-
    searches to see whether they are embodied or not (and how) in contemporary
    Basque literature.
