This article deals with the emerging field of queer anarchism, with a particular focus on the characteristics of this emerging paradigm in Buenos Aires. It draws on recent theoretical connections between queer theory and anarchism in the work of Gavin Brown, Richard Cleminson and Jamie Heckert, as well as in the work of a queer anarchist group in Buenos Aires called Proyectil Fetal. Set in the context of its historical precedents in anarcha-feminism, Proyectil Fetal’s paradigm is illustrated with a variety of examples from their online publications, whilst also considering some of the critical reactions to their articles.
