Se reproduce debajo el abstract de este trabajo:
The correspondence of Carlo Cóccioli (1920-2003) traces the relationship among religiosity,
male homosexuality, and urban sociability in the Mexican context, between 1954 and 1964. There are
no publications on the impact that Cóccioli’s work had on Mexican homosexual people, yet there was
a dense network of circulation of ideas related to Cóccioli’s denunciation of ecclesiastical hypocrisy and
representation of homosexual love as a divine gift. The methodology consists of an interpretive reading
that incorporates an analysis of significant historical and cultural frameworks to decipher the oblique
meanings of these letters. Hence, the article demonstrates that there was a cultural current of
resignification of Catholic symbology to celebrate homosexual experiences, and that the tension
between pleasure and shame was one of the central axes in the experiences of homosexual men who
were also believers. Well-off entendidos did not use a concept of pride centered on the visibility of their
sexuality, rather they disdained the effeminacy and promiscuity of working-class jotos and vestidas but
resorted to camp repertoires shared with these groups.
