Zona de riesgo: lesbianas, gays y sida en las telenovelas

"Risk Zone: Lesbians, Gays, and AIDS in Telenovelas" is a scholarly book that explores the representation of LGBTQ+ characters in Latin American telenovelas. It highlights how this genre, consumed by millions of people worldwide, responds to social realities while addressing both the challenges and advancements in the representation of sexualities. The author, Gustavo Geirola, analyzes the complex narratives triggered by the HIV/AIDS pandemic and examines how these themes have been integrated into the stories. While the portrayal of gay characters has gained visibility over time, the representation of lesbian figures often falls short of expectations. The book offers a critical perspective on the ideological frameworks that shape the depiction of sexuality in mass media and encourages reflection on the cultural and social implications of these representations.
