Abstract
  • In their master’s thesis, Mateo Rosales Fertig offers the framework of a Curanderismx soul retrieval ceremony as a method of grappling with queerness and multiraciality in anti-colonial border and Chicanx contexts. From the legacies of Chicana, women of color, and QTPOC feminisms, they write out of the works and theories of Aurora Levins Morales, Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa, Patti Duncan, Qwo-Li Driskill, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Ana Castillo, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Deborah Miranda, among others. Utilizing multiple methods of storytelling (narrative, poetry, illustration), Rosales Fertig records how they wrestle with (re)membering the story of their being in personal and intergenerational contexts outside of hegemonic dominant narratives. They seek to answer the questions: how does someone (re)member their story when parts of it have been lost? How does one grieve the missing pieces? How does a queer and trans multiracial person call theirself home in a responsible and non-appropriative way? In a way that feels gentle, feels like returning?
