  • Summary

    This chapter will concentrate on how literature became a discursive space for exploring and constructing queer subjectivities in Chile. Proceeding in roughly chronological fashion, I will attempt to trace some of the main themes in the development of LGBTQ writing in Chile from the early twentieth century to the present. In doing so, I hope to explore how literature registers homosexuality as a changing series of contingent articulations rather than a stable category. The chapter explores the work of major literary figures (such as Augusto d’Halmar and Gabriela Mistral) who may be read as queer, even though their life and/or work were often shrouded in ambiguity and evasiveness.
