Abstract: Biopolítica del armario [Biopolitics of the Closet] presents itself as a work of reference for Gender Studies or Queer Studies in Spanish that seeks a theoretical and situated review around the question of the visibility of dissidence in the context of the Spanish State. Javier Sáez del Álamo brings about a text that is relevant not only because of the translation of the epistemological debate inaugurated by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick into the contemporary Hispanic context, or for the Foucauldian turn which may be implied by the binomial “closet biopolitics”. Using a queer genealogy often un-dervalued in Spanish academia, Sáez proposes a work structured around the concept of the closet that addresses specific material issues that affect the visibility and future of sexual dissidences, but also of gender, class and race dissidences, rejecting at all times the individualistic meaning of the closet favoured by liberal identity politics.
