Reaching beyond queer and gay studies, Ram E. Soto-Crespo's research suggests that this paradoxical figure mutated into what he calls the \"\u003ci\u003eneobugarr\u003c\/i\u003e,\" a neoliberal market-oriented actor who used the traditional sexual practice as an optimizing strategy for manipulating the forces of globalization during the 1990s. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn Neobugarr: \u003ci\u003eHeteroflexibility, Neoliberalism, and Latin\/o American Sexual Practice\u003c\/i\u003e, Soto-Crespo chronicles the cultural modifications of \u003ci\u003ebugarr\u003c\/i\u003e, a distinct male-male sexual practice in Latin\/o America and the Caribbean, during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Working with and against Foucault and Kinsey to examine diverse works from anthropology, literature, cinema, and social media, he investigates a wide array of \u003ci\u003ebugarr\u003c\/i\u003e sources, ranging from previously underexamined multimedia to ethnographies, fiction, films, and beyond. These works constitute a \u003ci\u003eneobugarr\u003c\/i\u003e archive and attest to a sexual practice currently metamorphosing on the cusp of extinction. Soto-Crespo's analysis challenges conventional understandings of \"heteroflexible\" sex between men and reveals a hitherto unnoticed transformation in neoliberal ecologies of \u003ci\u003ebugarr\u003c\/i\u003e sexual practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ram E.
