Biography

After studying philosophy at the Universidad Pontificia Comillas (UPC) in Madrid/Spain, as well as psychoanalysis at the Universidad Complutense Madrid), Vidarte became a Doctor of Philosophy at Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) in Madrid with his dissertation about Jacques Derrida, on whose thought he later published several works.[1]

From the mid-1990s onwards, Paco Vidarte, who was gay,[2] was an active member of the LGBT movement in Spain, and especially Madrid. He was a member of the group "Radical Gai", and later became one of the leading queer theorists in Spain. [3] In Ética Marica (2007), he strongly criticized assimilationist strategies by mainstream LGTB rights groups in Spain, advocating instead for a radically inclusive ethics.[4]

He was a professor at UNED until his death in Madrid in 2008, caused by a malign form of lymphatic cancer and HIV.
