Military dictatorship and construction of female models in the province of Valdivia, Chile, between 1973 and 1974
Abstract
The objective of this article is to account for the main actions carried out in the first years of the military dictatorship - 1973 to 1974 – regarding the construction of female models in the Province of Valdivia, Chile. It is a case study with a gender approach framed within present time history.
This period is chosen because during the dictatorship a discourse is imposed around the feminine that is characterized by the place that was assigned to the woman and the actions that were done for this. The places and spaces can also be explained from the discourse and ideology of neoliberalism and military culture. The practices can be visualized in public policies, in the creation of organisms devoted to women, like the case of CEMA Chile. The contribution of the research lies in the possibility of studying the feminine from the local point of view, since it has been studied only from a discursive viewpoint and at a national level.
