This book examines and critiques the fact that Chile's claims to
economic exceptionalism have been embodied, often quite
aggressively, in a heterosexual, and primarily male, ideal. 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.
