Resumo: | In the last decades, sexuality and reproduction have become areas of disputes between antagonistic actors, generating a regional dynamic of advances and retreats on the sexual and reproductive rights agenda. In Chile, many reforms in these areas have been stopped by conservative opposition, while others simply have not even become publicly discussed. Current literature highlights the existence of two major causes that can explain the obstacles to the recognition of these rights in the country: the influence of Catholic hierarchy in the shaping of sexual politics and the weakening of feminist and women movements in the post-dictatorial period. This article pretends to analyzes some factors that can clarify the causes of these two processes. In the case of the Catholic Church, I consider two factors that could explain the influence of this institution in the delineation of post-dictatorial sexual politics. First, the moral authority conferred to the church because of its social and political activity throughout the twentieth century, and second, the role given to it by the elites in the achievement of political consensus during the nineties. In the case of feminism, I analyze the process of normalization of its discourse, the devaluation of militancy and the institutionalization of the movement, as explanatory factors of the weakening of its ability to impact sexual politics. |

Chile no ha sido la excepción, y muchasreformas en estas materias han sido frenadas por la oposición ejercida por los sectores másconservadores, mientras otras simplemente no han llegado siquiera a abrirse a discusión pública.La literatura suele destacar la existencia de dos grandes causas que pueden explicar losobstáculos para el reconocimiento de estos derechos en el país: la influencia que ha tenido lajerarquía católica en el delineamiento de políticas sexuales, y el debilitamiento de losmovimientos feministas y de mujeres en el período post-dictatorial. El presente artículo analizaciertos factores que buscan iluminar las causas de estos dos procesos. En el caso de la IglesiaCatólica, se consideran dos factores que explicarían la influencia de esta institución en eldelineamiento de las políticas sexuales de la post-dictadura: la autoridad moral conferida a lamisma por su rol social y político desempeñado durante el siglo XX, y el rol otorgado por laselites a la iglesia en la búsqueda del consenso político durante los noventa. Para el caso delfeminismo, se analizan en tanto los procesos de normalización del discurso, la devaluación dela militancia y la institucionalización del movimiento como factores explicativos de sudebilitamiento en la capacidad para incidir en las políticas sexuales.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2013-11-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X201300020000410.1590/S0104-026X2013000200004Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 21 No. 2 (2013); 485-508Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 21 Núm. 2 (2013); 485-508Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 21 n. 2 (2013); 485-5081806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2013000200004/25807Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFaúndes, José Manuel Morán2018-08-14T16:21:40Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/31486Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:16.863049Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true |
