Despite the many shifts Chilean economics and politics have undergone over the past fifty years, the country’s view of itself as a “model” in contrast to other Latin American countries has remained constant. By deploying an artistic, literary, and cinematic archive of queer figures from this period, this book draws parallels among the exceptionalisms of Chile’s economic discourse, the subjects deemed most (and least) apt to embody it, and the maneuvers of its cultural production between local and global ideas of gender and politics to delineate its place in the world. Queering the “Chilean Way” thus sheds light on the sexual, economic, and aesthetic dimensions of exceptionalism—at its heart, a discourse of exclusion that often comprises a major element of nationalism—in Chile and throughout the Americas.New Directions in Latino American Cultures,2634-520XEthnologyLatin AmericaCultureSexAmericaPolitics and governmentLatin American CultureGender StudiesAmerican PoliticsEthnologyCulture.Sex.AmericaPolitics and government.Latin American Culture.Gender Studies.American Politics.306.098Fischer Carlauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut392939BOOK9910150190603321Queering the Chilean Way2542841UNINA
