Episode 8: On Lights and Shadows
from Ride It Good: Aventuras desde el Último Hosted by lasiguamonta
Could el Último Vagón be gentrified? Can tourism be considered light colonialism? What criminal and nomadic potentialities do cruising in general and el Último Vagón in particular harbor? The first alternative to grindr that comes to mind is the usual serious committed relationship, La Siguamonta and Tadeo think there are other ways of bonding with other gays without loosing hoeness yet without being a gapp asshole. In this episode La Siguamonta and Tadeo discuss some recurring topics under a more theoretical (yet unpretentious) light. The charm of el Último Vagón is the difficulty to assimilate it (or punish it) into something with utility for the decay that is capitalism and the enlightenment project. Shall only cockroaches inhabit it’s shadows and make them proliferate. Wagon Jargon -Malinche: an historical mexican figure known for being a traductor to spaniard conquistadores and for betraying the natives. Malinchista would be someone who betrays a colonized people in favour of the colonizers, which could be my case if I don’t take care of my beloved Último Vagón. -El Tahur: a canteen/tacky bar at el centro in México City frequented mostly by older gay guys (the ones that wouldn’t feel comfortable at gay clubs).
