Abstract

In this article I summarize a selection of what are in my opinion interesting theoretical contributions in English and Spanish to queer studies in nonmodern periods that continue to have an impact on scholarly work today. I also reflect on possible future connections between queer theory and nonmodern Iberian discourses in an effort to complement Mérida Jiménez’s essay (2008: 183-197) on the future path of queer theory in the Iberian Middle Ages. I concentrate on the necessity of linking queer studies to the more general Iberian social order in nonmodern periods.
