Políticas queer y capitalismo: Revoluciones moleculares en el Chile postdictatorial

 The following paper analyzes how queer politics have been materialized in Chile after the dictatorship through the reflection upon the relationship between queer politics and capitalism. I use the concept of capitalism as defined by Deleuze and Guattari: capitalism as semiotization, revealing how formations of power influence the construction of bodies, gender and desire. Then I review queer theory in Foucault, Butler and Preciado, then I establish that the latter two elaborate subversive strategies and reappropriation of gender, unlike Foucault. He chooses to become the resistance from the standpoint of the aesthetics of pleasures. Lastly, I investigate the practice of queer politics in Chile after the dictatorship as processes of cultural emergence in a Williamsian sense. At the same time these processes can be viewed as molecular revolutions, which may be called to be articulated into "classic" or molar battles.
