Abstract


This work discusses Lucia Puenzo’s XXY and The Fish Child, and Marialy Rivas’ Young and Wild as a correlate of gender outlaws on-screen that incorporates queer narratives in Argentinean and Chilean societies. Amy Kaminsky formulated the Spanish verb encuirar as a translation of the English term queer. Encuirar implies to discover the reality beyond the heteronormativity. Puenzo and Rivas fully execute the action of encuirar through these cinematic creations.
