Queering the Chilean Way

More about the book

Focusing on Chile's economic exceptionalism, the book critiques its embodiment in a predominantly heterosexual, male ideal, despite significant political and economic changes over fifty years. It explores Chile's self-perception as a "model" compared to other Latin American nations. By utilizing an archive of queer figures from this era, the author connects the narratives of economic discourse with cultural production, revealing the interplay between local and global gender and political concepts and Chile's positioning in the global landscape.
