Sumario:Although recognized, above all, for his narrative work, Leopoldo Brizuela (1963-2019) also developed an important critical activity, dispersed in journals, articles and prologues. A striking aspect of this production is its interest in literature written by women and its pioneering approach to gender and sexual dissidence. In fact, the vindication and diffusion of marginal voices within the Argentine literary field –such as Sara Gallardo or Elvira Orpheé– or his anthology of homoerotic short stories Historia de un deseo (2000), can be read as critical gestures that place Brizuela into a feminist field. This article proposes a go through his critical interventions with the aim of highlighting the contribution to reading modes that destabilize, or directly challenge, certain assumptions of Argentine literary criticism between the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st.
