Popis: This article examines how the baroque is theorized in texts written by Néstor Perlongher and Severo Sarduy during the global HIV crisis. I propose that by taking illness as a starting point, these writers develop the notion of the baroque as resistance –conceived as temporality and as a practice more than as an aesthetic–. Specifically, I focus on Néstor Perlongher´s proposal of a “transhistoric” baroque and on Sarduy’s notion of a “funeral” baroque.
