Details

This talk examines the figure of the Latino day laborer in recent queer cinema. Focusing on Lane Shefter Bishop's The Day Laborers/Los Jornaleros (2004) and John Butler's Papi Chulo (2018), it maintains that film fantasies of undocumented workers rely on the entwinement of sexuality and labor to narratively consolidate normative forms of desire.
