Abstract:

This essay theorizes Latine maneras de ser (ways of being) as care through an analysis of si|embra, a 2021 collaborative performance and dance event cultivated between various Latine artists and the residents who live and own businesses on West Jefferson Boulevard in Los Angeles. I examine the gossip, partying, and dancing of folx on the block during the planning and presentation of si|embra to consider how performances of Latinidad are engaged to claim their right to exist in the present amid the ongoing effects of gentrification. In so doing, I highlight how care is communally crafted in ways that queer the neoliberal city and refuse banishment.

Si|embrando 生活与播种关怀：拒绝西杰斐逊大道的绅士化

 抽象：

本文通过分析 si|embra，一项 2021 年由各种拉丁裔艺术家和在洛杉矶西杰斐逊大道生活和拥有企业的居民共同培养的合作表演和舞蹈活动。我研究了 folx 在规划和展示 si|embra 来考虑拉丁裔的表演如何在绅士化的持续影响中主张它们在当下存在的权利。在此过程中，我强调了关怀是如何以新自由主义城市的酷儿和拒绝放逐的方式共同打造的。
