- 요약This dissertation is about apocalypse and modernity in the lands that European colonial powers renamed "America," or "the Americas." Departing from the intersection of queer theories, de- and anticolonial thinking, ethnic studies, transnational feminism, and theology, this dissertation examines the deep relationship and history between apocalypse, utopia, and the colonial foundations of Western modernity, as well as how this colonial history and its apocalyptic legacy continues to shape our lives. Apocalypse and utopia, within this context, provide fertile ground for the exploration of the inner workings of Western modernity as an historical and spatial-geographical project particularly concerned with "the human" and "human progress"-and therefore with white supremacy, misogyny, and heteronormativity. To engage with queer, anti-colonial approaches to utopia and apocalypse is to engage with colonial history and imperial, expansionist uses of apocalypse and utopia; consequently, it is the goal of "Queering Apocalypse" to further explore and reveal how apocalypse and utopia have shaped the historical and spatial project that is Western modernity as well as how they can provide the creative and discursive tools for feeling into the past, critiquing the present, and imagining liberation in the future.The methodological convergence guiding "Queering Apocalypse" establishes a dialogue between queer and affective approaches to temporality and history, on the one hand, and queer, feminist, Latinx, and Latin American theologies and religious experiences on the other to approach the racialized, gendered, and transnational body as the interface between the distant colonial past and the horizons of the future. Therefore, the dissertation studies the literary, artistic, and performance creations of three women to highlight queer, Latina/x, Chicana/x, and migrant women's voices and contributions to our understanding of temporality, history, borders, and the body. The first chapter looks at how Rita Indiana's engagement with Dominican Vodou, spirit possession, and colonial history in her 2015 novel, La mucama de Omicunle, challenges the literary conventions of science and speculative fiction regarding time travel and the location of subjectivity. The second chapter studies Alma Lopez's 1999 digital print Our Lady as a spiritual and relational act of undressing the Virgin of Guadalupe that challenges the misogyny and heteronormativity built into Mexican and Chicano national imaginaries. And finally, the third chapter approaches the colonial history of paradise and utopia from within Josefina Baez's concept of El Nie and poem Comrade, Bliss Ain't Playing (2008) to elucidate how both paradise and utopia are implicated within the processes of European colonialism, Western imperialism, and the creation of the nation-state. "Queering Apocalypse" therefore takes the spiritual labor of these women seriously and lets them lead the way in approaching the apocalypses of the past, present, and future.
