The Venezuelan exodus is now the second largest refugee crisis in the world (UNHCR, 2020). Yet, the available scholarship on the topic is very limited. Further, while the few critical studies that do exist-Troconis (2021), Lo'pez (2021) and Carrenno (2013)-can help to establish some characteristics of the diasporic political discourse, they rely heavily in their corpus on art and literature produced by a well-educated exile elite and their antagonistic attitudes towards the Chavista revolution. Studies on the Venezuelan migration have therefore failed to recognise complex cultural and political aspects into which the Chavista phenomenon have grown, as well as intersectional issues within the migration. Moreover, such analyses have generally failed to connect the Venezuelan experience with similar refugee crises-Iran, Syria-and global questions around citizenship and belonging. In contrast, this study will acknowledge gender, social and racial issues and include representations from outwith the canonical spaces of fine art and literature to reveal transnational ties beyond the debate around the revolution. Also, this thesis will contextualise the Venezuelan phenomenon within broader debates around migrant representation and refugee justice. What do representations of the Venezuelan migration tell us about Latin American politics and culture? What can these representations reveal about racialised attitudes towards migrants in Latin America and beyond? This interdisciplinary project, drawing on literature, aesthetics and digital culture, will analyse representations of the Venezuelan migration to identify diasporic narratives and reveal intersectional issues within the refugee crisis. Starting with a contextualisation of the exodus and then an examination of the manifestations produced by the Venezuelan exile elite, this study will later analyse the image of the caminante, particularly caminante women, who are usually depicted in melodramatic terms. Finally, the study will culminate with an exploration of queer subjectivity in Venezuelan digital culture in contrast to the binary dynamics present in representations of caminante women against the hypermasculinity of Cha'vez. This thesis will draw on Taylor's (2003) work, who offers methodological insights into the interdisciplinary analysis of performance, melodrama and art in Latin America, Mahieux's (2011) work on the Latin American genre of chronicle, and Clifford (1994), Gilroy (1993), and Bauboock & Faist's (2010) non-essentialist approaches to diaspora studies. By challenging social, racial and gender assumptions, this thesis will pave a wide, non-reductive path for future studies on the Venezuelan exodus and other migration crises. Similarly, by connecting the Venezuelan experience to other migratory phenomena, it will challenge Orientalist assumptions around refugee crises and asylum seekers. This research will therefore be relevant to anyone interested in migration studies, representation and intersectional issues; both within and outside the context of Latin American studies. Further, the here- proposed analysis could inform curatorial outputs around Venezuelan art and literature, and social engagement projects in the context of migrant communities; areas where I have strong professional connections and experience. Moreover, since very few of the studies on Venezuela have been produced in the UK, this project could cement the basis for better academic, political and cultural understanding of Venezuela in the UK.

委内瑞拉出埃及现在是世界第二大难民危机（难民署，2020年）。但是，有关该主题的可用奖学金非常有限。此外，虽然确实存在的少数批判性研究（2021），Lo'pez（2021）和Carrenno（2013）可以帮助建立散居性政治话语的某些特征，但它们在很大程度上依赖于由充分教育的Elite Elite及其动力学及其动力学及其对Chavista的Antation Attude的艺术和文学所产生的。因此，关于委内瑞拉移民的研究未能认识到查维斯塔现象已经成长的复杂文化和政治方面以及移民中的交叉问题。此外，这种分析通常未能将委内瑞拉经验与类似的难民危机，叙利亚以及有关公民身份和归属的全球问题联系起来。相比之下，这项研究将承认性别，社会和种族问题，并包括外面的典型艺术和文学空间的代表，以揭示超出革命辩论的跨国联系。同样，本论文将在围绕移民代表和难民正义的更广泛的辩论中进行委内瑞拉现象的情况。委内瑞拉移民的代表告诉我们有关拉丁美洲政治和文化的信息？这些代表可以揭示有关对拉丁美洲及其他地区移民的种族化态度的态度？这个跨学科项目借鉴了文学，美学和数字文化，将分析委内瑞拉迁移的表示，以识别散居性的叙事，并揭示难民危机中的交叉问题。从出埃及记的情境化开始，然后检查委内瑞拉流放精英所产生的表现，这项研究将随后分析Caminante，尤其是Caminante妇女的形象，尤其是Caminante妇女，这些妇女通常用典型的术语进行描述。最后，与委内瑞拉数字文化中的酷儿主观性探索相比，这项研究将达到最终达到最终形式，与卡米南特妇女反对Cha'vez的超男性气质的表示相反。这篇论文将借鉴泰勒（Taylor）（2003）的作品，他对跨学科的跨学科分析，拉丁美洲的情节剧和艺术，Mahieux（2011）在《拉丁美洲纪事》中的工作，以及Clifford（1994），Gilroy（1993）以及Bauboock＆Faist Ential nonsient nonsecter non-sessist and-sessist toes toes toes toes toes toes toes toes toes toes。通过挑战社会，种族和性别假设，该论文将为委内瑞拉出埃及记和其他移民危机的未来研究铺平道路。同样，通过将委内瑞拉经验与其他迁徙现象联系起来，它将挑战围绕难民危机和寻求庇护者的东方主义假设。因此，这项研究将与对移民研究，代表性和交叉问题感兴趣的任何人有关；在拉丁美洲研究的背景下和之外。此外，此处提出的分析可以为委内瑞拉艺术和文学以及在移民社区的背景下的社会参与项目提供介绍的信息。我有很强的专业联系和经验的领域。此外，由于在英国进行了关于委内瑞拉的研究很少，因此该项目可以巩固对委内瑞拉在英国更好的学术，政治和文化理解的基础。
