Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Spanish and Portuguese.
My dissertation, “Chile coliza: cuerpo, espacios discursivos y redes sociales en la literatura y el cine chileno contemporaneo de tematica LGBTQ” examines the intervention of queer bodies, language and visual images in urban and virtual spaces through LGBTQ-themed literature and film from post-dictatorship Chile (1990) to present day. My project intervenes in the political debate regarding gender and sexualities in Latin America, which has been propelled by the #Metoo and #NiUnaMenos movements and the sexual dissidence activism. Recent events, such as the debate on marriage equality in Chile in November 2017 or the passing of gender identity legislation in January 2018, show the current relevance of the debate around sexuality. Furthermore, members of the LGBTQ community in Chile have carried out different strategies in order to destabilize the heteropatriarchy and the neoliberal system that underpins it since its implementation in Chile during Augusto Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1990). On one hand, the diversidad sexual seeks to intervene within institutional power structures in order to achieve the same rights as their heterosexual fellow citizens. On the other hand, disidencia sexual advocates for a more confrontational tactic that implies the total collapse of the neoliberal system and the Eurocentric epistemology. Nonetheless, both collectivities have impacted contemporary Chilean literature and cinema. But, how and to what extent does LGBTQ literature and film create synergies with urban and online spaces in Chile? Which discourses do sexual diversity and sexual dissidence articulate to contrast heteronormative discourse on gender, sex, and sexuality? Drawing on hemispheric queer/gender and coloniality/decoloniality theories, I argue that the synergies between literature, film and social media have provided an opportunity for the LGBTQ community in Chile to consolidate a political position that contests heteronormativity by unapologetically visibilizing queer bodies and contesting heteronormative visual and literary representations of LGBTQ subject in post-dictatorship Chile.
