요약"Vital Signs" examines how feminist and queer artists and activists in Brazil and Colombia redefined the aesthetic and political stakes of sexuality under authoritarian regimes from the late 1970s through the 1990s. It explores how visual and literary experimentation became a form of survival and world-making for sexual communities in contexts marked by censorship, urban militarization, and the HIV/AIDS crisis. I argue that these artists (working largely outside institutional circuits) mobilized fanzines, pornography, comics, performances, and photography to create new modes of queer and feminist relationality. Through an interdisciplinary and transregional approach that draws on queer theory, media theory, and comic studies, my dissertation foregrounds the minoritarian aesthetics and counterpublics generated by figures such as Leon Zuleta's El Otro in the late 1970s in Colombia, Miguel Angel Rojas's photographic experimentation from the late 1960s to the 1990s, and the Movimento de Arte Porno's body-centric visual and poetic practices during the 1980s. Rather than focusing on identity or class-based activism alone, the project shows how sexuality itself (understood as both a site of discipline and a resource for bodily disobedience) became central to alternative visions of collective life. Largely working without knowledge of each other, this constellation of artists and activists cultivated modes of semiotic expression that embraced the erotic, the ephemeral, and the excessive as deliberate responses to state-sanctioned erasure and repression. In this sense, "Vital Signs" takes seriously the claim that sexual politics are not marginal but foundational to the production of democratic life and political consciousness, particularly under conditions of censorship and militarized governance. Each of the four chapters offers an analytical reckoning of a distinct medium and set of practices-photography, zines, performance, comics, and the graphic sensuality of language itself-while drawing connections among them. The dissertation argues that all these interventions function as vital signs-aesthetic pulses that reflect and intervene in the shifting relations between embodiment, political visions, and social reproduction. Through close readings of visual texts, archival research, and material analysis, Vital Signs reconstructs an alternative genealogy of sexual dissidence in Latin America that is hitherto highly unexplored, and which remains largely relevant in the face of contemporary threats to gender and sexual rights. In tracking how these experimental forms operated as technologies of survival, the dissertation reorients our understanding of aesthetics as central to the politics of sexuality. The introduction establishes the conceptual and methodological framework of the dissertation by proposing a form of late-twentieth century queer vitalism relying on recent interventions in Latin American philosophy and psychoanalytic theory. It opens with a discussion of the term "vital" as both tainted with a violent history and as a generative source of alternative forms of imagining life. By positioning the dissertation within current and past debates in Latin American critical theory and queer cultural studies, the introduction sets the stage for each subsequent chapter's engagement with a different medium of sexual dissidence.
