Since the 1980s sexual diversity has become an object of interest for both sexology and gender studies. There is general agreement that we are witnessing disintegration of traditional sexual practice combined with enhanced pluralism of sex life. The question that remains challenging is whether – or to what extent – it is possible to diversify forms of sexual activity in a society with predominantly heteronormative attitudes. The object of analysis is Salamander – a novel by Jürgen Lodemann from 2011. The author, acting as an advocate of non-normative sexuality, tells a story of Alexa Undine Brandes – an intersexual protagonist entangled in a love triangle. With her anatomically unique body, she is capable of fluent transitions in her erotic activity. The author reflects upon fluid, non-normative sexuality seen as a duality that brings sexual fulfilment and satisfaction. At the same time, however, it can also be classified as destructive passion which – posing a challenge to heteronormative social conventions – may have tragic circumstances, as described by the author.

Desde la primera década del siglo XXI en la Argentina, y frente a la saturación de representaciones normativas del género y de la sexualidad dentro de la industria cultural, resulta significativo que el discurso cinematográfico haya producido imágenes alternativas respecto a los géneros, las sexualidades, los vínculos eróticos y amorosos, la familia. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo poner en relación este fenómeno con la discusión en torno al surgimiento de un Nuevo Cine Queer. Para ello se presenta una breve introducción a esta noción en relación con las representaciones en torno a los cuerpos intersex, utilizando como corpus de trabajo dos películas estrenadas recientemente en el país: XXY (Lucía Puenzo, 2007) y El último verano de la boyita (Julia Solomonoff, 2009).

Intersexualism is often treated as a secret in medical and family systems. According to the thesis that intersex body is pathological and requires immediate surgical and hormonal regulation, intersex persons are subject to the process which involves rapid production of normative masculinity or femininity through invasive clinical practices. The goal of the study was to diagnose the experiences of parents of an intersex child with searching for support during the treatment for both the child and themselves. The study was conducted by means of individual semi-structured interview. The results are presented as a case study. It was shown that parents do not always receive the necessary social and medical support, and their children are treated as sensations and pathologies, regardless of the fact that empathy and acceptance are critical for making the right treatment-related decisions.
