Biography

Manuela Valle’s research interests include the gendered and sexual narratives of neoliberalism, militarism and imperialism, and the intersections between gender and nationalism. Her research project aims to explore how in Latin American post-dictatorship societies such as the Chilean, the continued legacy of an authoritarian culture limits the exercise of citizenship and rights for women and men and children, arguing that a real democratization in these societies requires the transformation of gender meanings and sexual imaginaries through a repoliticization of the domestic space and gender relations.

Thesis: Neoliberal Desires, Spectacles of Market-Nationalism, Utopian Performances: A Feminist Analysis of Gendered Cultural Narratives in Post-Dictatorship Chile
