Abstract: Abstract In a global context where sexual diversity is subject to the sex-affective patterns of gay marriage, it is necessary to describe and imagine other forms of dissident life that question the emotional agendas of LGBT assimilationism. Following Flatley (2008), it is necessary to propose “affective maps” that orient and encourage other forms of dissident affective-moral responsiveness that dispute the homonormative emotional economies promoted by the hegemonic LGTB agendas. In that line, the narrative of the Argentine writer Carlos Correas offers resources to perform a queer dissidence alien to the gay marriage. It provides the reader with an experience of self-estrangement, an affective map that recovers a constellation of negative emotions that, because of their anachronism, challenge the hetero/homonormative affective economies imposed by gay pride, and that, at the same time, encourages the production of other dissident sex-affective narratives in which the usual grammars of gay success/failure are resisted.
