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. 410 0$aNew Directions in Latino American Cultures,$x2634-520X 606 $aEthnology$zLatin America 606 $aCulture 606 $aSex 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aLatin American Culture 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aAmerican Politics 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aLatin American Culture. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aAmerican Politics. 676 $a306.098 700 $aFischer$b Carl$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0392939 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150190603321 996 $aQueering the Chilean Way$92542841 997 $aUNINA
