Eduardo Mendicutti's Yo no tengo la culpa de haber nacido tan sexy introduces two marginal characters within a parody of Teresian mysticism and quixotic idealism to question the role played by these icons and the canonized narratives surrounding them in defining the national body and identity. The introjection of the transsexual body into mystical discourse reveals a corporeal politics grounded in repression and exclusion, showing how unstable identities are intimately linked not only with past narratives now considered canonical markers of Spanish essence and identity, but also with the real-life practices of rural and traditional Castile.
